Banana Boat Everyday Sunscreen 30+ Review

I stocked up on this at the end of last summer when it was super cheap. The expiry wasn't until 2015 and with four children we go through a lot of sunscreen! Anyway this product doesn't smell too strong and what I really love is that it absorbs into your skin so it doesn't leave a greasy layer. My children don't get burnt with this at all. I apply a thick layer in the morning and leave it too soak in and it lasts them all day. I only reapply if they are spending all day outside and it is super hot otherwise I find the 1 application is enough to not get burnt. After using a few other brands, this is probably my fave since it does what you need it to do and it absorbs so easily and doesn't leave your face looking shiny and yuck.

I like to trial and error things such as sunscreen because there may be one better suited to my skin type or that offers more protection for my skin. This came to my attention on trip to the warehouse where they had 25% off sunscreens, so of course I had to have this. First of all the pump bottle I love because it means I minimize wastage and I don't have to worry about a thick cream to rub in to my skin. I can take or leave the design on the bottle, it's rather bland and unimaginative. It doesn't jump out to me at all besides that it is the Banana Boat brand.

The consistency of the sunscreen is quite watery I find and seems to absorb far too quickly. When it comes to sunscreen prefer to have a white film still visible because it offers peace of mind that my skin is protected. I do prefer 50+SPF but I know that 30+SPF is just as suitable. The smell is quite pleasant while still maintaining that familiar sunscreen smell. I made sure that I reapplied every two hours when I was in the sun and every hour when I was in the water to prevent sunburn. I concentrate on areas like the face and my tattoos (mostly to prevent them fading).

Now for Banana Boat I expected a more quality performance. After four hours at the beach I can almost guarantee that I will be a red lobster despite reapplying as directed. To me this is more suited as a winter sunscreen than a summer one because the sun is far more intense when it's summer. I wear this under my foundation in the colder months just to use it up. I prefer other brands with higher SPF rating though to be safe. I am not a fan of this one at all.

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

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.

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.
