badgerbalm.com Face Mineral SPF 30 Drug Facts, dated 16 Aug 2026
Forty-minute water resistance. Use a body zinc for snorkeling.
What this means
Face Mineral is a face cream, not a snorkel bottle. It is legal on Maui if the Drug Facts still say zinc oxide 18.75% as the only active. Daily and Active list the same 18.75% zinc. Badger prints non-nano. Palau is fine on these formulas. Forty-minute water resistance on all three. If you are snorkeling, pack a body zinc with 80 minutes too. Sport, Adventure, and Baby are also mineral on Badger's site. Those are other tubes.
All places
Palau and the US Virgin Islands are in this table too. Maui and the Big Island use the same mineral-only rule.

Stamps are only on bottles we have dated. Maui and the Big Island share the mineral-only test. Palau can still fail a zinc lotion on phenoxyethanol.
FAQ
Is Badger sunscreen reef safe?
Face, Daily, and Active are zinc-only and labeled non-nano, so Maui and Palau pass. Other Badger sunscreens are also mineral on the brand site. Confirm each tube.
Is Badger OK in Hawaii?
Zinc oxide as the only active is the Maui and Big Island rule. This face cream meets that. Pack a larger zinc body lotion if you are swimming all day.
Is Badger mineral-only?
Badger says all of its sunscreens use zinc oxide as the only active. We verified that claim on Face, Daily, and Active. We have not dated every sport and baby SKU.
Is Badger face sunscreen reef safe?
Face Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 is in the table. Face and body formulas often have different lists.
Dates on the Drug Facts sheets are the day we read the panel. Pack shots and brand marks are the brand's, DailyMed's, or a credited press lockup. How we check
