Q: What's the expiration date?

submitted by Lucie - 1 year ago
  • A: Thank you for taking the time to contact us, it brings us great Joy that you are interested in Banana Boat Products. Our Sun Protection products are effective for an average of 3 years from the date of manufacture.   Follow these instructions for interpreting the manufacture date: Locate the manufacturer’s date code that is embossed on the crimped edge of the tube, opposite the opening or cap. The first two numbers represent the last two digits of the year of manufacture, followed by three numbers representing the day of the year. The rest of the numbers or letters are for our internal use For example, a date code that begins with 21031 would indicate the product was manufactured in the year 2021 on the 31st day of the year. Add three years to the date code year and this will give you the end of its shelf life. In this example, it would be 2024 on the 31st day (January 31).  Since mid 2018 the expiration date has been added to our products in the MM/YYYY format.

    This wonderful sunscreen can't travel through TSA because the tube size is too big. Inexplicably, BB discontinued the Light as Air face version, which did meet TSA limits. Please offer a 3oz or less version of Light as Air.

    Nice texture but wayyy too fragrant. I was surprised because some of the reviews on here said it had a nice light clean scent—nope. It smells too perfumey. Was looking for a good chemical spf for my kid’s sensitive skin (chemical because don’t want white cast from mineral spf). The texture is like lotion which is easy to apply but the fragrance ruins it.

    Let me start by saying I’ve purchased and tried many sunscreens, 20 plus, and nothing compares to this one. It goes on like a lotion and soaks right in with no white cast or greasiness. Leaves a soft feel to the skin. My family has been wearing this sunscreen daily for a couple of years. The true test was a 2 day visit to Disney, sun up to sun down, with no color pickup to our fair skin. It was applied as directed and every 2 hours. We also wear at the pool and has great protection. My kids enjoy applying this with no complaints, even on the face and around the eyes. My only complaint is it is hard to find in a store. Can only buy online. Target PLEASE stock in store!

    My favorite sunscreen! Light as Air is the perfect name -- it absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a white cast, and works really well. I wear it daily, and have worn it at the pool, for hours on boats and hiking; it has provided great sun protection in all those scenarios -- I have never burned and haven't even really gotten even a slight tan. I highly recommend this suncreen.

    I bought this due to my old sunscreen causing a very mild reaction and being very greasy. I followed the instructions on the bottle and was happy to find it wasn't greasy. It took a little extra effort to completely rub it into my skin but that's no big deal and I ended up applying three times while I was out in the sun with my family on a trip as the instructions say to apply every two hours if not in the water. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is due to the product washing off when me and my family got caught in the rain on the same trip I mentioned and the product being advertised as water resistant. Overall its a good sunscreen. Its not greasy but it does leave a dewy feeling on the skin or the feeling of powder on your skin. You have to give it a good rub in and follow the instructions as listed on the bottle and it has very little fragrance. However I would recommend this sunscreen only for if you don't plan to get into a pool or ocean if on a trip to the beach because it will come completely off the second water makes contact with it.

    My country is always hot, especially in the summer, so I tried to find some good sunscreen to protect my skin, and I found this brand, which is really good. Banana Boat Sunscreen (Light as Air) typically contains active ingredients that provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. It's also oil-free, and there are no parabens or SLS. I have sensitive skin, and when I apply it to my skin, it turns out that I don’t get any allergies. so it’s suitable for sensitive skin. The thing that I like the most is that its texture is lightweight on the skin. It’s easy to apply, and it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, which is perfect for daily wear. In terms of protection, this sunscreen offers SPF 50+ protection, which is excellent for daily use and outdoor activities. This sunscreen does a great job of preventing sunburn when I apply it as directed when I go outside. It doesn't irritate the skin or cause breakouts. Also, it's water-resistant. The sunscreen comes in a convenient squeeze tube, making it easy to dispense the right amount without waste. It's reasonably priced for the quality and amount of product you get.I appreciate the pleasant scent and how it feels like wearing nothing on the skin. It doesn't leave a white cast. The smell is good; it’s a light fragrance. I really recommend anyone who’s looking for a good sunscreen try this Banana Boat Sunscreen (Light as Air), which is an excellent choice for daily sun protection because of its lightweight feel, high SPF protection, and non-greasy application. It's suitable for sensitive skin and offers reliable, broad-spectrum protection against UV radiation from the sun.
