The company i work for supplies sunblock because we work outdoors in all weather. The usual brand wasnt available at one point so they supplied us with banana boa I found it to be too greasy( even after an hour stuff blowing around outside would stick to my skin) I also found i came out in pimlpes after using it for a couple of weeks. I just did not think this was the right sunscreen for me so have gone back to skin cancer society for my body sunblock.

I find Banana Boat is perfect for both everyday usage and the likes of using for a trip to the beach or outdoors in the sun. It isn't overly greasy but still has a good creamy texture, and being 4hrs waterproof it would be perfect for the beach or swimming. Coming in a pump bottle is perfect for families as well.
Tips: Take with you!
I brought mine from the warehouse. It was $12 I was so excited to use this sunscreen because it apparently works I went to the beach and applied this all over my body. It felt slippery (obviously its sunscreen) and it smells nice to me. So anyway I was running in the sun swimming the water. And so on.... When I got out and started drying myself off my skin went from being fair/medium to being medium dark... Uhhhh I absolutely almost died looking at my skin shade. It didnt work on me damn
I tried this sunscreen after being blasted by the sun one time too many! The protection of this product is great, it glides on smoothly and stopped my skin form developing any redness or burn. The formula is scentless, which would be great for people with sensitive skin or aversion to fragrances, but I personally love sunscreens with a tropical or coconut scent!
My main dislike about this product was how greasy it felt on the skin - it was very thick and tacky, both directly after application and after walking around in the sun for an hour. Quite unimpressed by that.
Would be great for kids though, since it didn't irritate my skin in the slightest.
The product does what it says it will do. However, I really didnt like the scent of the sunscreen, fully made me want to spew. Also, its pretty greasy so when on the skin, it doesnt feel the nicest. Overall performance however, 10/10
I have previously used different Banana Boat products and have been impressed, so had no hesitation in purchasing this one. Priced reasonably and product packaging pretty standard. Application easy enough and a light unusual fragrance which did not bother me unduly. Worked like a dream but be prepared it leaves you very greasy and a bit tacky which is fine at the side of a pool but on the beach the sand sticks to you like crazy. No I would definitely not use it again as I felt really uncomfortable and sticky for the entire time it was on. I actually gave it away after trying it a few times.
We used this product once when we were caught out and it was the only sunscreen we could buy. My daughter and I ended up with rashes and dermatitis from the product which we had to wash off immediately! We don't normally have sensitive skin but it must contain chemicals that irritate our skin. I will not buy this product again as there are plenty of other options on the market to choose from.
I found this brand great, it's the only brand we use for the whole family. I love it in a spray bottle makes it so easy for putting it on the kids. It didn't irritate anyone's skin, was easy to apply and soaked in well. Great for use by the water and being waterproof I didn't worry about the kids being in and out of the water. Re applying every 4 hours worked well none of us got any sun burn. Will definately use again.
Most stores provide Banana boat products in most nz stores. I like to pick mine up from The Warehouse because they often have a sale on their skincare products. When I look at sunscreens I try and go for a bottle that can last me and my family a decent amount of time. I like to choose a sunscreen that can be used for my partner and I and my two kids.
This sunscreen comes in an upright bottle that has a nozzle thats easy to disperse product out of. I notice that this formula is thin creamy and white. I did notice a slightly greasy after feel with this. Has a mild scent not to overpoweing for my children.
I find this easy to apply to my skin and my children find it simple to rub into their skin. My partner has rosacea and sensitive skin and had no irritations at all with it. I found I needed to apply every two hours because my partner and son burn very easily being fairly pale skinned. In the water I needed to apply hourly for my kids particularly because it rubbed off them easily.
Ideally I would expect water resistant protection for up to four hours but didn't happen for my kids. I did have sun protection when I was dry though. I think its priced fairly . One bottle lasted me up to 6 months usage. I wouldn't buy it again as I wasn't a fan of the consistency.
my family are very into sun protection so i have tried alot of different brands and types . banana boat is the best one we have found and what we now stick to. now i admit i prefer to use there 50+ spf to this one . but this is still a very good sunblock. it is a very good consistency more on the thicker side which i perfer as its easier to put on and i fell like im actually protected . another plus is that the sunbloack doesnt leave me super greasy like others i have tired .
so inn conclusion i would defiantly recommend not just this sunblock but there whole brand
