User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product considered "Reef-Safe
Answer:	I don't think you can have any sun cream with no emollients in it at all. Your packaging differs from mine so I conclude that the manufactures have up-dated their outer image to be more in tune with " the times " The consistency of this sunscreen is more dense so application on the face does not go on smoothly quickly. You need to massage it well into skin for about 40 seconds. I have tried so many environmentally friendly sun-screens and find this one best of the lot. However I am now also going to try California Baby. Only way to know if this product suits you is to try it. Personally, I doubt it would give you any problems.
Question:	I have kids w darker tan skin. Will this make them look pasty white or does it rub in ok? Every “safe” sunscreen I’ve tried makes them look silly
Answer:	Active Ingredients: Zinc Oxide 14.5%, Titanium Dioxide 2.0%Inactive Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dimethicone, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Glycerin , Glyceryl Isostearate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (1), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (1), Polyglyceryl-3 Ricinoleate , Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (1), Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (1), Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (1), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (1), Magnesium Sulfate, Silica, Sodium Chloride, Tocopheryl Acetate, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Polyhydroxystearic Acid(1) Certified Organic Ingredient
Question:	What does it mean that it is tinted
Answer:	I do not believe it stains white clothes, but I use it while working in public garden installations, so don't wear clothes I need to keep white. However, I do not recommend using, even "for the face" sunscreen by Jason Natural products as they STING THE EYES, which is not a good sign as to toxicity.

User questions & answers

Answer:	Yes i did a half size up

Answer:	Never tried the Nanos
Question:	Does this work well on adults? I have been reading some reviews and noticed that its common to expect tanning. Can I get some experiences and opinions on this? Does this work well while swimming or sweating
Answer:	Shoes are kinda narrow and are a one piece fit, kinda like a slip on so not ideal for wide feet. I wear a 13 wide and went with a 14 just so I could get them on. Even still they are kinda tight in the width, hoping they will break in after some use.
Question:	What's the difference between ThinkBaby and ThinkSport
Answer:	yes

Our Story

With a team of physicians & scientists, Thinkbaby & Thinksport lead in the usage of safe materials for consumer products. We don’t wait for materials to make headlines in order to make a change. We continue to expand our products to offer alternatives to existing products on the market. Our efforts are energized by working with leading child advocacy partners & like-minded individuals seeking alternative products. We approach each product with the same criteria: safe, functional, & sustainable.

UVA & UVB Broad-Spectrum

Consumers have been led to believe that ultra-high SPF numbers like 70 and 100 provide much more protection than SPF 30. This is False. SPF 30 provides 97% protection from UVB and SPF 100 provides 99% coverage for UVB. We tell folks if you look at the back of the tube and you see a bunch of words you don’t recognize, you probably don’t want to put that on your skin. It is important that you’re using a truly Broad-spectrum formula that covers UVA and UVB.

Mineral Based Formula

Chemical sunscreens make up the majority of the market unfortunately. They are both cheap and apply clear. Mineral based solutions can cause some amount of whitening during use and are also more expensive. But at what cost is it cheaper. Some mineral base formulations have also taken to using clear zinc or nano particle sized zinc or titanium. We recommend sourcing a non-nano zinc oxide solution. There is just not enough data on the ability for nano particles getting into the blood stream. As such, it is better to embrace the Precautionary principle.

Water Resistant

There are now three levels of water resistance. Not water resistant, water resistant (40 minutes) and water resistant (80 minutes). We have all become used to seeing words like sweatproof or waterproof. There are now very specific tests. Keep in mind, that if you’re at the beach or pool that you’ll need to reapply after being in the water. And to achieve the SPF factor of your sunscreen you have to reapply every two hours. One application does not keep you at SPF 50 or whatever is on the sunscreen label. And you should be using about 1oz to cover an adult body.

Tips for Application

1. Be sure to apply all areas that will be exposed to sunlight, including behind the ears, neck, hands, feet, and scalp 15 minutes before sun exposure.
2. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, at least every 2 hours.
3. While the sunscreen applies very easily, we recommend not spreading it too thin. Otherwise you will decrease the effectiveness of the sunscreen.

Why Sunscreen?

The majority of sunscreens currently on the market are full of questionable ingredients and known carcinogens. Simply looking at the ingredients you'll quickly realize you don't recognize any of them. Many existing sunscreens have been brought to market with little concern for their safety. Not only do ingredients in sunscreen interact with skin, but data shows after application of lotions, some of the same chemicals can be detected in the bloodstream. Most people wear sunscreen to reduce the chance of developing cancer, so why apply something that could potentially increase this risk? This question has unfortunately left many people moving away from using sunscreen at all.

Chemical Policy

Thinkbaby & Thinksport employ the precautionary principle when choosing the materials to work with.

Thinksocial

Since our company's inception, we have been focused on being socially responsible. For us this means:

Create safe products. Have the least impact possible on the environment in the creation, packaging, usage, and disposal of product possible. Connect to non-profit organizations engaged in activities that help the world become a safer, healthier place.

We came up with Thinksocial as a way to empower consumers to choose which non-profits they feel most connected to and want to monetarily support. We call it the democratization of social responsibility.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this sunscreen have propylene glycol in it
Answer:	No, it is completely natural and certified organic. It is basically zinc oxide in a base of several herb and flower oils.
Question:	How long would this bottle probably last for a fairly small child? Like how many applications? Florida vacation coming up
Answer:	This one is a 3oz bottle (look at your toothpaste it's probably 4 or 6) a little goes a long way, it's not liquidy it's pretty thick. If you're at the beach every day for a week with a 2 foot toddler you'd be safe. And it's great for your face and ears too! Have fun!
Question:	Does the sweet smell attract bees
Answer:	Yes! We have had this problem once with a honeybee that kept following us around as we were trying to apply the sunscreen. My daughter was freaked out, but the bee was not aggressive, just persistent! It smells like an orange creamsicle. I switched to the Chamomile scented one for this reason. Will save the orange vanilla for when we are someplace with no bees.
Question:	What is the difference between the baby badger sunscreen and the one for kids ? Which one is better
Answer:	The only difference I could tell was the fragrance of the baby more soothing than the kids. I have both, and prefer the kids because of the smell. But they both work just as well. Badger products are great.

User questions & answers

Question:	has anyone used this on their own face? I have sensitive skin but I'm spending a lot of time out in the sun. Would this be a suitable for daily use
Answer:	do not know
Question:	Is that non chemical sunscreen? some sunscreens contain harmful chemicals which will cause cancer. should i care about inactive ingredients
Answer:	I honestly can only guess, but with fabric shoes I have used a mild solution of dishwashing detergent.
Question:	Do you have any idea what would be an expiration date on this one
Answer:	China or possibly Vietnam.
Question:	What are the ingredients
Answer:	They are excellent for weight lifting, have good support, but not a lot of cushioning. I made the mistake of wearing them to work one night, was on my feet for 12 hours, and was dying the next day. I think they would be good for crossfit though, just not great for running.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this turn your skin white or is it clear
Answer:	No
Question:	What is the scent in this item as i am sensitive and the sensitive stick is not broad spectrum
Answer:	Just bought them at a local running store online at their site - $149. Amazon lost this business from a loyal customer for 10 years. Virtually any reputable vendor off this site, including those who usually sell here, as well as the manufacturer Hooka, sell for this price. The vendors shown here for this product are totally unknown to me, and engage in gouging. Don’t buy here - go off site for this product. Amazon - take action against these crooks. Something stinks.
Question:	Can you please advise on the ingredients of this product
Answer:	I don't know the actual weight, but they are very lightweight.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the titanium dioxide non-nanotized
Answer:	We only ship within the United States
Question:	The headline says 1.8oz, the product details says 1.6oz & the picture shows a 1.3oz tube. So how much do you get
Answer:	I just went and ran them under the sink sideways for a solid minute and they didn't even get damp inside. However the tongue is not stitched to the side and separates just under the first eyelet, so if you are walking through big puddles the water will wash over the toe and seep in there a bit. They should keep you plenty dry for a long while from just falling rain though. Great shoes imo.
Question:	is the titanium dioxide non- nanotized
Answer:	Usual size but get the wide version. To me it's way more comfortable. Then if wide is not good then go to regular. I started with regular didn't care for her and had to go to wide but was nervous that it wasn't going to be good and I was going to have to go back to regular so I suggest just starting with wide.
Question:	Does this lotion include any nut butters
Answer:	I purchased regular, they fit great . I wasn't sure either because I go barefoot a lot , I also from time to time where a ankle support. I was told to get wide , if I plan on wearing it ( it's leather and thick ) Hope it helps . William
