You’ve been waiting, and now the time has come: Badger sunscreen lotions are back! We’ve got new and improved formulas for our Damascus Rose Face Sunscreen lotions. And this year we’re very pleased to be able to offer an unscented version as well!
So, what’s new?
The big news is that we’ve increased the SPF to 25 while maintaining the outstanding protection it provides from UVA rays. So these sunscreen lotions are great for everyday wear and keeping you protected as you go about your day.
Damascus Rose Face Sunscreens are back (in original and sheer tint) but with a milder fragrance. Even better, the reformulation allowed us to reduce the price! The sheer mineral tint, which comes from iron oxides, blends well with most skin tones. While it does not offer the coverage of makeup, it does help to minimize the whitening effect of zinc oxide.
We’re now offering an Unscented SPF 25 Sunscreen Lotion in a large 4oz tube. It features soothing aloe and sunflower oil, so it’s moisturizing while offering the effective broad spectrum protection you expect from Badger sunscreens.
At a glance: what you need to know
- Lightweight, non-greasy, and easy to apply
- Lab tested and approved non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
- Lab tested and approved hypoallergenic (safe for sensitive skin)
- Great for all skin types
- Coral reef safe*
- All Badger sunscreen lotions (and creams!) are now non-GMO certified by NSF to NSF Non-GMO True North
* Badger sunscreen lotions are not water resistant. Please consider using one of our Active Sunscreen Creams or Sport Sunscreens if you will be swimming or sweating.

These products sound amazing. I will definitely use one of them in my skincare routine. Thanks and keep sharing.
Can I use this sunscreen lotion on my 3 yr old daughter? Or will you bring back the baby sunscreen lotion this summer? We’ve been waiting for it.
Hi Meg!
Thanks for writing. You can absolutely use these on your little girl. We still offer the SPF 30 Baby Sunscreen Cream, but do not have plans to relaunch the Baby Sunscreen Lotion anytime soon. I will let our product development team know you are looking for it!
Warmly,
Jentri
Hi Jentri,
I’m a Singaporean Chinese and I’m wondering whether the tint of the rose sunscreen lotion will blend well with my southeast asian skintones?
I’m not a frequent wearer of makeup so I don’t quite know how to describe my skintone / undertones. If it helps, i used to occasionally use the 100% Pure Peach Bisque foundation (http://www.100percentpure.com/collections/face-makeup/products/fruit-pigmented-foundation-powder-peach-bisque) but I’ve since gotten darker.
I’ve used many badger sunscreens creams on my face in the past, and while I absolutely trust the safety of the zinc oxide in the products, the sunscreen creams have unfortunately always clogged my pores & resulted in breakouts, so I’m really hoping the lotion will be my holy grail!
Looking forward to any & all advice, and many thanks in advance!
Cheers,
MJ
Hi MJ!
Thank you for writing. The tint is very very sheer, so it blends into most skin tones. However it’s hard to say definitively whether it will work for you… I would say that if you’ve worn the un-tinted creams in the past, this would likely work for you because all the tint is doing is offsetting the whiteness of the zinc oxide a little. It does not offer the same level of coverage as makeup.
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee – so if you try it and it doesn’t work for you simply return it. 🙂 If you are in the US you can order directly from us and use code BADGER15 for 15% off.
I am surprised that you had issues with clogged pores whilst using our creams. We’ve had the base formula (SPF 30 Unscented) tested and it is non-comedogenic… but this speaks to how unique our skin is, and how everyone has different needs! So my best advice is to give the lotions a shot, and see what your skin thinks!
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Warmly,
Jentri
I would like to try these! I do have a question though…How much of a white cast would this product create? I would like to use my rose oil, then the sunscreen and then apply my mineral foundation (which does not have any spf) would I be able to use it that way? Just don’t want to look pale from the white in the sunscreen and I’m thinking the tinted sunscreen may not be enough to cover my redness and some acne scars I have. Thanks in advance and I love Badger!!!
Hi Kristen!
Thanks for reading and commenting. We use large particle zinc oxide, so some whitening should be expected. The Sheer Tint helps to offset the whitening a little, however it’s the same zinc oxide so it’s still light.
You would absolutely be able to use this between your rose oil and mineral foundation. I would give the rose oil a few minutes to sink in, and then dab away any excess before applying the sunscreen (so as not to dilute the SPF). The lotions are really light, and create a very nice matte primer for mineral makeup. It sounds as though the tinted would work well under your makeup, but the un-tinted is a great primer, too.
Hope this helps! Here’s a link to an arm swatch I did of the tinted sunscreen: https://www.instagram.com/p/BD8vd-FCHxv/?taken-by=badgerbalm – it really blends quite well.
Warmly,
Jentri
Your questions is right…
Extraordinary for: A Dose of Vitamin C
Why We Love It: This sunscreen sneaks up suddenly with SPF 30 and a portion of nutrient C for a sun-kissed composition, sans the harm. Plentiful in cancer prevention agents, nutrient C not just helps shield the skin from natural aggressors however can likewise streamline the appearance of almost negligible differences, wrinkles and other untimely indications of maturing.
Any chance of a tinted lotion in the 4 oz size? I love the tinted face sunscreen, but even as a pretty fair skinned person, the un-tinted versions leave me looking too much like a ghost. I’d love a tinted unscented in the 4 oz size!! I like the creams but they are kind of heavy for daily use.
Hi Cate! We do not have plans for one currently, but I let our product development department know that you’re interested! 🙂

I definitely want to try the unscented version, as my skin can be sensitive. I already use several of Badger’s aromatherapy balms as well as the unscented Badger balm, and I adore them.
I am so torn between the functionality of the daily use face and body sunscreen but I am too tempted to try the sheer tint face sunscreen!!
I’m excited! I’ve been waiting for the lotions to be reintroduced!!! I’m most excited for the unscented one, but would love to see a tinted sunscreen lotion.
I just read the description of the Damascus Rose Tinted face sunscreen on the website and I take back my original answer, I actually think I’m most excited about that one! Keep making great products! Our family loves Badger Balm!! <3

Your tinted sunscreen is a lifesaver!!
I have been using your Damascus Rose products, including the sunblock, for the past few years and am quite pleased! They make my skin feel so good! I happen to really like the sunblock formula from last year – is that still available? It’s the delightful rose fragrance that I like most in addition to the coverage and protection it offers. Thank you for the chance to win, as I have been wanting to try the tinted Damascus Rose sunblock!
Hi Deirdre!
We slightly reformulated the Damascus Rose sunscreens from last year. We hope you still love the formula! 🙂

Hi Sarah! We do not have plans for one currently, but I let our product development department know that you’re interested! 🙂
Jentri
i’d love to try any of these sunscreens. I’m an avid organic gardener and I’m usually busy outside from spring through late fall.
I use your sore muscle rub and sleep balm…THEY ARE AWESOME.
thanks LOVE your products.
I am excited about the sheer tint rose sunscreen face lotion. I am one of those girls who feels naked without some kind of foundation to help hide discoloration, so this one would be PERFECT and since it’s natural, it’s better for my skin! I can’t wait! I am ordering 2!!!
It doesn’t provide coverage. There is only enough tint to prevent a white cast from the zinc oxide. It works wonderfully for that but if you want to use it for any sort of coverage, you’ll ve disappointed.
Just listened to a fantastic news blog about using sunscreens for a daily lotion. Seems that is all women need! Eye cream, facial cream and other creams are all the same and to use sunscreen to preserve our face from freckles. Does the znic-oxide in your product make our skin turn white?
Hi Diane!
The zinc oxide in our sunscreens is non-nano, meaning the particles are larger – so some whitening should be expected. Our lotions are the least whitening of all of our sunscreens, and the minerals in the sheer tint help to offset the white cast a little. Hope this helps! 🙂
Jentri
I am thrilled for all of them. I am working on getting all toxic skincare items out of the home, and sunscreen is one of the big ones in our home. I am so happy to find Badger!
