I used this last summer for the first time and had no issues with burns on my kids - loved it. But this summer (same bottle) my kids have been burned each time! Then I found this information from the manufacturers wbsite that another reviewer had posted...
If my sunscreen has some clumping, will it still work?
Yes. Temperature variations during shipping occasionally cause CLUMPING in Badger sunscreens and this does not affect the sunscreen's safety or level of protection. We tested our sunscreens with and without clumping to ensure protection. In most cases, the clumping is caused by the crystallization of Shea and Cocoa Butter. This is similar to what might happen in a chocolate bar if it is exposed to extreme temperature variations. When you apply the sunscreen to your skin you will feel them melt right in.
***Note: If the little clumps are really HARD and GRITTY, they may be the Zinc Oxide particles clumping together, and this could potentially affect the level of protection you are receiving. If this is the case, please check the expiration date to ensure that your product is still good. If your product has not expired, but exhibits the hard and gritty clumping, please contact our customer service team for a full refund or to exchange products.***
New Formulas! We have removed the Shea and Cocoa Butter from most of our new 2013 sunscreen creams to avoid further clumping.
I had no crystals last summer, but this summer I did notice them. Found the info above, checked my exp date, and it expired 2 months ago. Bought a new bottle (and there are no crystals in it) and it's worked wonders again. It does have a smell that I can't quite place, but it is not bad per se, and unlike other reviewers have said I don't find the smell to stick around. I don't find it any greasier than conventional sunscreens and it runs less when you get a little sweaty. As long as youhave an unexpired bottle without the crystals it should work just fine - we love it!

How Did We Get Our Start?
Back in the mid-1990s, our founder Bill Whyte worked as a carpenter. He worked hard, and so did his hands. They would often split and crack in the frigid New England winters. One night, seeking a soothing solution, he mixed up some beeswax and olive oil to create a simple herbal balm. It helped his hands so much, he decided to share it with everyone he knew - and the rest, as they say, is Badger history.

Hard to rub in and I burnt to a crisp. don't use!.
I was so excited to use this but I'm almost in tears. We used this at the beach today first time. I used it in myself and 8 yo. It's very hard to put on it doesn't spread well and you can see whiteness on your skin as it seems like it doesn't fully absorb. I noticed my child was getting pink so I switched to another sunscreen figuring it was because he was in and out if the water. I used badger on myself all day and I did not swim. I got burnt so badly. I'm so mad and upset and with family history of skin cancer I'm very upset. I'll be throwing this away immediately. Awful.
