    New formula

    Due to skin allergies, this was one of few that I could wear without irritation and no sun burning. I had used the SPF 30 for years. Unfortunately, this new formula is more watery and irritated my skin along with getting some sun burn. I wish I could have stocked up on the previous formula.

    Return to old fragrance & I’ll return to buying

    The new smell is more like the fragrance used in toilet cleaning products to mask odors. I’ve been a heavy user of Banana Boat since 2010 as a regular outdoor swimmer but even my family objects to the odor now.

    Old reliable

    This is a reliable favorite. I would definitely only use this on the body as it is full of fragrance. No pilling or white cast. That's my only gripe,but Target doesn't carry Banana boat Light As Air which is my preferred sunblock. This lotion doesn't feel sticky or greasy but is also not moisturizing.

    Pasty, thick, hard to spread

    I need two hands to squeeze any lotion out of the bottle. The consistency is super thick & pasty! Totally different from the small travel tubes, which are more liquidy. It also leaves a white cast. That part isn't as big of a deal bc i only use it on my body, never my fave. Why in the world did they make the bottle so thick and hard to squeeze! I wont buy this again! One positive, it smells good.

    So disappointed! We've used this product for years and loved it, but the new formula is awful. The smell is truly unpleasant and the lotion has gotten thinner and less absorbent. Please bring back the old formula!

    Enttäuschung auf ganzer Linie

    Ich bin in die Falle getappt: Habe BananaBoat Sport SPF50 gewissenhaft 20 Minuten vor dem Baden am ganzen Körper aufgetragen, danach sofort erneut, und das Ganze zwei Mal wiederholt. Insgesamt habe ich mich dreimal eingeschmiert und war vier Stunden in der Sonne. Das Ergebnis? Meine gesamte Rückseite ist knallrot wie eine Tomate, die Haut ist an empfindlichen Stellen sogar geschwollen und ich habe Verbrennungsschmerzen. Dieses Produkt hat überhaupt nichts ausgerichtet – 0% Schutz. Stattdessen sitze ich nun mit einem schmerzhaften Sonnenbrand da, der nicht nur Urlaubsfreude zerstört, sondern auch ein erhebliches Krebsrisiko birgt. Ich bin wütend und fassungslos, dass so eine „Sonnencreme“ überhaupt vertrieben werden darf. Sollte ich gesundheitliche Spätfolgen davontragen, mache ich die Firma direkt verantwortlich. Besonders auffällig: In Hawaii bleiben die BananaBoat-Produkte überall in den Regalen liegen – offensichtlich aus gutem Grund. Währenddessen sind Neutrogena SPF50/70 regelmäßig ausverkauft, weil sie tatsächlich wirken. Beste Werbung für die Konkurrenz. Fazit: Finger weg von diesem Produkt! Eine Sonnencreme, die trotz sorgfältiger Anwendung zu solch massiven Schäden führt, ist schlicht verantwortungslos. How dare you.

    The Formula may be New, but it is NOT Improved.

    For several years, the "Banana Boat Sport Lotion SPF 50" was my daily sunscreen of choice for both face and body: It had a nice, thick consistency, with a high amount of Homosalate (A superior UV Filter), and dried clear with a sticky finish that was perfect for applying baby powder on top. The new formula is essentially the opposite of that: It's watery thin, almost all of the UV filters are lower in percentage (how it still maintains the 50 SPF rating from the original is anyone's guess), and it has an incredibly greasy feel that makes a mess of any powders I put on top. It's honestly impressive how much worse this new formula is than the original. Let's be honest: There was nothing wrong with the original formula and Banana Boat knows that. They just wanted to make it cheaper to produce- And it shows. At least I have an excuse to try some new sunscreens now.

    Chemical burn upon application

    I began by applying this product to my neck. I immediately felt a burning sensation and stopped applying it. My neck became very red and inflamed. Now it's the next day and the skin on my neck is still very red and irritated. It feels like a chemical burn. I have no allergies and have never had an adverse reaction to sunscreen. It's worrisome - what is in this product? Are other users also suffering chemical burns? Should this product be recalled? Banana Boat needs to know about this.

    Great Sun Protector

    This was easy to rub in and not too thick. It was great for a beach vacay and keeping 3 kids and 2 adults protected from sunburns. Not too much protection, which also allowed for a nice tan without the skin burning!
