Banana Boat Baby Health & Hygiene Products
Dangerous – I purchased this product thinking that if its 50+ and to protect children with sensitive delicate skin then it should be good for anyone. Using it I… Read more
was not convinced it was really shielding me, I still felt the sun. In December 2021 though I saw an internet news warning on this product. Not just this one but all of the sprays. They are 100% confirmed to contain a known carcinogenic substance. The warning was to immediately stop using them and contact the Aussie distributor who will refund you. I did this. What a joke, I filled out the contact complaint form, nothing. I contacted them again and the reply was to fill out the contact complaint form, I did again. I was then contacted to supply photos and product batch numbers, id already done that. I did it again. Now the end of January 2022 and they wont reply and im ignored. This product I find out was called out for failing its SPF rating a few yrs ago. Now it contains carcinogens! That people have been spraying on their children! I sprayed on myself as did my wife! Avoid all Banana Boat products like the plague. Check for yourself on this, they contain carcinogenics.
Cheapest "Clean" Sunscreen out there – I and my children all have extremely sensitive skin. Having done some reading about sunscreens I was horrified to discover that many of the chemical… Read more
UV absorbers actually damage your skin, so I set out to find a purely mineral sunscreen. I've tried brands like Wotnot and Soleo, and they are very good brands, but SO expensive. Finding this lovely, clean sunscreen by Banana Boat at less than half price at our local Coles was brilliant !
I apply this to the whole family, before we go to the beach; my husband wears it when he goes on his bike rides; and any time we're going out I slather it on. It does a brilliant job of keeping the sun off, so I can't really understand the review above, unless maybe they didn't put enough on ? I don't worry about it being white, or ghosting, I just slap it on thickly, so maybe that's the difference ? I also reapply after an hour or so at the beach, but not if we're not going to get wet.....
Anyway, HIGHLY recommended for sensitive skin and if you want to avoid chemical UV absorbers while not breaking the wallet :) Inexpensive, no UV absorbers, does not set off our sensitive skin, available at big supermarkets
