«Your skin is pretty important...»
So, you really ought to take great care of it.
I'm thrilled there is a safe and effective product available for me and my family. The "spreadablity," scent and appearance really should not make much of a difference. The active ingredient, Zinc Oxide, is the cause of the "inconveniences," but it is also the cause of it's efficacy and low toxicity.
"We reviewed the scientific literature and government assessments for common sunscreen chemicals' efficacy and toxicity. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are known as "mineral sunscreens" or "physical blockers" since they reflect and scatter UV rays. The other actives are called "chemical blockers" because they absorb and disperse UV rays.
Studies show that unlike other common sunscreen chemicals, little to no zinc and titanium absorb through the skin, and they provide stable UVA protection relative to the other ingredients. For these reasons many zinc and titanium-based sunscreens appear at the top of our recommended product lists. However, zinc and titanium in spray or powder sunscreens are not recommended, since inhalation of zinc and titanium particles is a concern."

I love Badger's products and philosophy, and I use this product regularly. Thanks for supplying our families with safe alternatives.
Stay safe and have fun!
PS
You could always stay out of the sun; it's certainly the safest plan.

«Skin Block»
Badger Sunblock is one product I for one will never purchase again. It stays on the skins surface and makes one resemble a ghost. I was exremely disappointed after reading its review.

«great product for people with autism»
This is one of the only sunscreens that people with autism should use. It is free of chemicals and only contains zinc oxide. Most natural sunscreen has titanium dioxide in it - which is not recommended for people with autism. It also blocks the sun well -my son has not had a burn or even gotten very tan at the beach with this product. I like the way it smells, too - just like natural botanicals - not chemicals.
