Banana Boat Ultra Clear Spray on Sunscreen Review

I switched to using this sunblock recently and I really love it. It doesn't feel sticky on my skin and lasts quite a long time. You can use it on your face but I wouldn't recommend for anyone with sensitive skin. I find I don't have to reapply as often as other brands and it doesn't have a strong smell either.

I really like this sunscreen. Its really easy to use, especially on children as they love the fact that it sprays on! It dried fairly quick and didnt leave a greasy residue on my skin. It did prevent me from getting sunburnt but I do prefer an SPF of 50 and this only provides 30 but other than that its pretty darn good

I thought this was great. I won a can from the Banana Boat FB page, and took it with me when I was travelling overseas during their summer last year.

I found it really handy, just a quick spray all-over and you're done! It dries really quickly and doesn't need to be rubbed in. Great to pop in the carry bag to take to the beach or pool. The can lasts ages, I shared this with others and used it almost daily and it lasted me all summer.

I didn't find that it ruined any of my clothes like some of the other ladies have mentioned. (That would have made me so upset!)

The smell isn't overpowering or unpleasant (typical sunscreen smell), and the mist/fumes aren't intoxicating.

This is a real on-the-go convenient product. Thumbs up.

I bought this one when I was on holiday in Australia as I couldn't find my regular spray on Neutrogena sunscreen in the supermarket there.

I'm a huge fan of these clear, spray-on formulations as they don't leave awkward white tide lines on my entirely black wardrobe. That way you can confidently get this right up to the edges and under where your clothes end without any fear of staining, and with no fear of those dreaded missed spots when you don't apply close enough to your clothing lines.

I reapplied this regularly out of paranoia, as I was at an outdoor event for a few days, and I did not get burnt at all. I have since used this for swims at the beach too and it seems to have stayed in place long enough for me to swim without burning.

I would buy this again if I needed to. My regular Neutrogena one still wins because it smells a lot better, but this still does a great job. I would definitely grab it as a second choice if I couldn't find my favourite in the shop.

This is soo easy to use just chuck in your car or bag then spray on and your good to go. Lightweight formula spreads on your skin and absorbs quickly. My only concerns are the fact that the contents of the can don't last very long and how well protected are we by spraying on such a thin sunscreen? I liked it though

During summer I'm always looking out for sunscreens for my family. I wanted to try something different to a moisturiser. I thought I would give this spray a try on myself and my children.

This spray can has the Banana boat branding on it. Its easy to identify this can because of it's bright yellow colours used in the branding. This can comes in a 175 ml. Which is a lot of product for one can. I found the spray nozzle easy to apply. The texture of this spray is liquid. It didn't have any scent to it. It does appear to be clear coloured.

When I applied this spray on my children, I used this all over their arms and legs. As for the face areas, I sprayed this on my hands and quickly rubbed it on their faces. This spray lasted on myself and my kids for an hour in full sun. I did apply more on the hour. It only took me a couple of minutes to cover their whole bodies.

My results from using this can of spray was full protection from sun rays for about an hour. I do believe that you would need to re apply this spray. Its fast and easy to apply. It is priced in the mid to high range. If you need quick protection then this sunscreen is definitely the spray to use. Would I buy it again, I definitely would for fast protection. I haven't tried this in the water, I would love to try it again to see if it still protects my skin.

This stuff worked really well for me on my holiday in Australia. Easy to apply and didn't miss any spots and end up burnt.

The only problem we had was that my partners white shirt ended up with horrid stains on it. We couldn't get them off either.

If you wear dark clothes it would be fine. I still rate the sunscreen just don't wear white!

Wow, when this product was released, I thought this is such a good idea and so convenient. I was lucky enough to try a full size product of this by winning it off their website, so I was able to give this product a good go, and had nothing to lose.

Firstly I like the packaging on the product. It is in a standard pressurized container, but has smooth lines. The lid click to open and close, so you can lock this product when it’s not in use to avoid wastage, and accidental spraying. Good thinking banana boat. The design of the package is quite sleek with mainly black, silver and blue colours, but it does not really jump out to you on the supermarket shelf, even though it is one of the better looking sunscreens I have seen. It’s also hard to know how much sunscreen is left in the container. Additionally, because of its aerosol format, this product is reasonable light weight, so it’s easy to take with you everywhere and anywhere. My partner in particular likes to take this hunting because it is quick, easy and light.

The product is easy to use, and simply pressing on the top releases the sunscreen in a spray form, which looks clear on the skin. It is easy to manoeuvre, and gets those places such as your neck and back easily. Additionally, it dries really quickly, and it fast to use! However, I would recommend spraying outside, because when you spray inside, even in a large space it’s quite potent and gives you an uncomfortable feeling in your mouth when accidentally inhaled.

However, the point of using sunscreen is to use it before you got outside, so although this is a minor issue, it kind of makes me question why this product is like this. This leads me to another aspect which I don’t like about the product, and its wastage. Although the product does last a long time, the amount of product that is wasted in the air is a bit, and can easily been seen floating in the air (obviously it would not be noticeable when sprayed outside).

Overall, this product is decent, its seems to do the job, and I have never got sunburnt when using it. But I don’t like the wastage, the point that it should be used outside, and the fact that it is hard to gauge how much product is actually left in the container. I may repurchase this product in the future, but I have found an alternative sunscreen that I like a lot better (Oasis), so will be sticking to that one for now.

I like to have this Banana Boat sunscreen because it has good water resistance, and is a brand I trust. I quite like having sunscreen in sprays as it makes applications much faster and it means that you can get those harder-to reach places. However, it being a spray also means there is a lighter layer. Need to therefore make sure to rub it in still and possibly do a second coat.
