The active ingredient in Badger natural sunscreen face stick is zinc oxide. This is a mineral that acts as a physical barrier protecting your skin from the sun - from both UVA and UVB rays that damage skin cells and can cause aging effects from over exposure to the sun. Zinc oxide is considered to be the safest active sunscreen ingredient for human health and for the environment.
