thinksport's SPF 30 sunscreen is one of the safest sunscreens on the market today for many reasons. Made from high quality safe ingredients, thinksport sunscreen contains no nano-particles, does not contain PABA or parabens and does not contain any hormone disrupting chemicals.
Note that there is no difference between the thinksport and thinkbaby sunscreen formulas. The only difference is the packaging. See FAQ below.
Chemical based sunscreens will apply virtually clear, as they utilize chemical absorbers and have little to no zinc in the formulation. thinksport has utilized the highest level of Zinc in their formulation. The sunscreen absorbs surprisingly well into the skin and does not cause the "ghosting" caused by pasty zinc formulas. With that said, it does not go on perfectly clear.
In the development process of this sunscreen, thinksport was sure to build in as many key benefits as possible. Here are some of the important features in their formulation:
- Patent pending - Free of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals
- Broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection
- Very stable under sunlight
- Not chemical based
- No Nano particles
- Free of hormone disrupting chemicals
- Rated at the highest level of Water Resistance
- Paraben Free and PABA Free
- High Zinc content - no Titanium Dioxide
- Immuno-enhancing properties to ward off free radicals caused by sunlight
- Applies incredibly easily and absorbs easily despite having such a high Zinc content.
- Only sunscreen to ever pass Whole Foods Premium Care line requirements
- Does not have an obtrusive smell that many natural sunscreens have.
- Between the stability of the sunscreen, highest level of water resistance, and high molecular weight small amounts of the sunscreen go a long way and provide lasting protection.
- FDA Testing lab "We have not seen a sunscreen perform with this broad spectrum of UVA/UVB protection"
- A member of the Safe Cosmetics Campaign Compact
Important Notes:
- thinksport sunscreen contains a high molecular weight due to the percentage of Zinc Oxide, so a small amount of the sunscreen will go a long way.
- Also note that the tubes are all filled with 3oz of sunscreen
- thinksport uses a special 5 layer PE tube to decrease the possibility of leakage and puncture.
- As all of our body care products, sunscreens are sales are final.
And don't forget your lips! Your lips are one of the most sensitive body parts and they can burn quicker than the rest of your body. Pick up a tube of our Badger SPF 15 natural lip balm!

Thinksport/ThinkBaby Sunscreen FAQ
What is the Difference between the thinksport and thinkbaby sunscreens?
The short answer....nothing. The slightly longer answer is that we were previously producing our BPA Free Feeding Sets with our logo across them ("thinkbaby"). We received some push back from 5 year olds that insisted that they were no longer babies and didn't want to see the word "baby" on any of their products. So we applied this logic to the sunscreen, knowing that kids above a certain age might push back if we didn't have another version available.
Can I use the thinkbaby sunscreen on my baby?
No. This sunscreen, like all others, are for use on children older than 6 months. For children under 6 months please consult with your doctor.
Why did thinksport/thinkbaby create a sunscreen?
Through our research and testing we found the majority of sunscreens currently on the market are full of questionable ingredients and known carcinogens. Not only are the ingredients in sunscreen able to interact with skin, but data shows that 26 seconds after application of lotions, the same chemicals can be detected in the bloodstream. This enables sunscreens to cause reproductive harm and creates the risk of a myriad of disorders including cancer which counteracts the exact reason why people use sunscreen: to reduce the chance of getting cancer. So why would you then apply something that could actually increase this risk? Enter thinkbaby and thinksport's patented sunscreen
What are the useage directions?
1. It is recommend that you shake on knead the tube prior to use. Please note that our sunscreen has a very high molecular weight. So smaller amounts will go a long way.
2. Apply approximately 30 minutes to sun exposure. This will also allow the sunscreen to fully absorb and reduce the potential for "whitening". We recommend additional applications for events that involve heavy sweating or water based activities. Although the sunscreen falls into the highest level of water resistance.
3. Using our sunscreen helps reduce chance of sunburn, skin cancer, and premature aging of skin. We also recommend wearing protective clothing while in the sunlight.
4. Avoid getting sunscreen in your eyes.
Warning: If for any reason you have skin irritation, we recommend stopping use and consulting with a doctor. We use only safe ingredients with no known allergens. But, if problems arise with the use of any product, always best to consult with an expert.
