Banana Boat Ultra Sport Sunscreen Lotion

This has been my go-to sunscreen for years and the new reformulation has a completely different scent that sucks. It smells like you spilled fruit juice on you and let it sit on your skin all day. Why would anyone want to smell like that?? The old formulation smelled like classic sunscreen, and I strongly preferred it that way. I will not be purchasing again.

I have used this brand for decades, but I am looking for something else now. They have changed the formula and it’s greasy and clogs my pores. I have bumps all over. Also, I use 50 spf and reapply and I still got tan after only 1-2 hrs in the pool. I don’t think this works as well as it used to.

Hubby uses this as a blue collar worker and says it’s great!

If I could give it zero stars I would. I have used Banana Boat for MANY years. I bought spf 50 on 6/20/25, it has an expiration date in 2026. I used it on 6/21/25, reapplied 3 times in a matter of 3 hours and I am SUNBURNED!! I live in Indiana, and never burn no matter what the temp is when I use sunblock. The new formula sucks and I will be finding a different brand.

Bought this product yesterday and after it made my skin so itchy it’s just terrible.

I bought this for the high SPF and because I exercise in the sun. Unfortunately this product makes me break out in acne all over my arms and back after I use it, two or three times now. I do have combination/oily skin but I’ve never broken out from sunblock so much as with this one in particular. So if zits are an issue I would stay far away from this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really recommend this sunscreen the protection last a while and the texture isn't sticky at all. The scent is light if that's something you are worried about and packaging is super light.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smooth texture, no greasy feel. Absorbs quick, only had to reapply once during trip. Scent is light and favorable. Gives the protection needed from the sun. Product is small enough to pack away in a travel bag, backpack or purse.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this for my daughter for vacation and we used not even half a bottle, the product goes a long way and it’s easy to apply. The spray-on is perfect for a girls with hairy legs and arms. And you can spray it right on the face, because it's no tears for kids. Even smells good too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, so I really enjoyed the fact that the scent in this sunscreen is so much lighter than the traditional sunscreen scent I’m used to. I can usually smell sunblock from a mile away lol, but I didn’t feel that way with this one, which makes me happy. Also, I usually burn no matter what protection I use, but I’m happy to say that with it being a little more emollient, it spread easier and I had no redness after I left the beach. All in all, I will definitely repurchase this once I’m done, but I think it will probably last me a while though, because this comes with a lot of product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well! Easy to apply but thick consistency. It was sweat and water resistant and I didn't feel like I needed to reapply it after a few hours. The scent was not too strong.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received oithe Banana Boat Sport Ultra Sunscreen Lotion, and I have mixed feelings about it. Let's start with the positives: the scent is absolutely amazing! It has a fresh, tropical fragrance that makes applying sunscreen a much more enjoyable experience. In terms of packaging, there's nothing particularly special to note. It arrived in a standard box, with the bottle securely inside. The lotion itself absorbs quickly into the skin, which is a definite plus when you're trying to get out the door. However, it does leave a noticeable oily sensation, which might not be ideal for everyone. The sunscreen provides great protection against the sun, which is ultimately the most important factor. However, I found that it's most effective when applied frequently, especially after swimming or sweating. The texture is a bit on the richer side, so a little goes a long way. Overall, it's a decent sunscreen with a fantastic scent, but the oily feel and need for frequent reapplication are worth considering.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great sunscreen! Protected my skin and didn’t leave me feeling oily or greasy! Smells good too! Packaging is easy to use! Always love banana boat products! This is another one to love!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just in time for sunny days — Banana Boat Ultra Sport Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ is a must-have for anyone who’s always on the move! This sunscreen is built for activity — it’s lightweight, non-greasy, absorbs fast, and best of all, it doesn’t run into your eyes (huge win). Whether I’m hiking, jogging, or just out and about, it holds up against sweat and water like a champ. Love that it’s free from oxybenzone and offers strong broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. It truly lets you enjoy the sun without worrying about constant reapplication.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed testing this banana boat ultra sunscreen. It was easy to apply and it starts off white, but does doesn't leave a white cast on your skin.it absorb into the skin very easily,and the one thing I love the most is that it's not greasy feeling on the skin. I just replied every hour, and the scent is not too bad either. My skin felt protected when I had the sun screen on, and it worked.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Banana Boat Sport Ultra SPF 50+ lotion is a really good sunscreen. I usually only use the spray ones, but this is so much better. It blends easily into your skin, isn't greasy, has no white cast, and a little goes a long way. I love that it's sweatproof and water resistant up to 80 minutes. It actually stays put even when im sweating a lot or in the pool. I burn very easily and since I've been using this, I haven't burned and my skin is so soft from it. I definitely recommend this sunscreen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is awesome. This is a trusted brand already and makes many amazing products. This was easily to apply and I loved how it went on the skin. It did not leave a white cast. There was no real fragrance and loved how it protected me from the sun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Banana Boat Sport Ultra SPF 50 sunscreen and it was easy to apply and felt light on my skin. It didn’t feel greasy and stayed on even when I was sweating. I liked that it didn’t run into my eyes. But after a few hours in the sun, I still got a bit of sunburn even though I reapplied it as directed. Some people say it works well for them, but for me, it didn’t give full protection during long outdoor activities. Doesn’t smell very bad either. I think it’s okay for short times outside, but maybe not the best for all-day sun.
