Q: Does this product have chemicals that are absorbed into the bloodstream?

submitted by CW - 11 months ago
  • A: Consumer safety is Banana Boat’s number one priority. As such, we take all of our consumer's concerns seriously. Sunscreens are supported by excellent safety records based on decades of real-world use, and all of the active ingredients Banana Boat uses in its products are approved for use internationally as well. While the FDA has released study results about the absorption of ingredients through the skin and into the body, this does not mean the product cannot be used safely for protection against UV rays. The FDA and leading medical experts, as well as Banana Boat, support continued use of sunscreens for broad spectrum protection (UVA/UVB), given the totality of available evidence that sunscreens are safe for use. As a sun care brand, we also want to encourage everyone to protect their skin from the damaging effects of the sun with safe, quality products. However, we understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to sun care, which is why Banana Boat is committed to offering a wide range of products including 100% mineral, mineral-enriched, and non-mineral products in lotion, spray and stick forms across our product lines. As always, Edgewell Personal Care supports research that broadens our understanding of the active ingredients that are used in sunscreen and that advance the body of evidence supporting the safe and effective use of sun care. We will continue to work with the FDA to ensure we’re providing consumers with smart choices for sun protection.

Q: How Do I know which spf to order 30 or 50? when do I need what strength?

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.

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.

Not good for combination/oily skin

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.] 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.

Super light scent!

[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.
