Banana Boat Sport SPF 50+

Re applied every 2 hours as per packet recommendations. We purchased the water resistant sunscreen but this is a complete lie. There is no water resistance qualities what so ever. This is a dangerous product and needs to be removed from shelves. Show details

A good product – I have used it often, I go hiking, beach.if applied correctly, it is a excellent product. I find it easy to apply, absorbs quickly. Like any sunscreen, you have to apply it at least 20 minutes before going in the sun.Reapply every 2 hours if in the water.I have sensitive skin, I have never had irritation from Banana Sport Show details

It works – Used this product regularly and it does a good job. My kids play cricket and are out in the sun for a long time. It’s also easy to find at Woolworths Show details

Never Had A Problem – We use the Cool Zone Sport sunscreen and have never had an issue. I always make sure they are in date, keep it in the esky (never let it get hot) and apply then reapply generously. Been using it for years on adults and kids. Show details

Worst sunscreen you can buy – DO NOT USE THIS SUNSCREEN!!! Applied thoroughly, and now I am torched, if this was put on my 5yo I can only imagine how badly burnt a child's skin, honestly don't know how this product can be sold as a 50+, i would of got just as much protection from Reef Tanning Oil

Scarily dangerous product - SERIOUSLY burned – Terrifyingly dangerously bad product. I have super pale skin and am diligent with the application of SPF50, coverage and time in the shade, especially if I'm out for long periods of time. I normally use Sun Bum and have absolutely no issues and never get burnt, even when out all day. Yesterday I used Banana Boat Sports SPF50, applied once before… Read more

leaving the house and 4 times throughout my sun exposure, to dry skin, waiting 25-30 mins before re-entering the water and spending ampol time in the shade. My face, hands and chest, where I used my face sunscreen are unburnt. My remaining skin (using Banana boat) is burnt to an absolute crisp today, to the painful point where I've only been able to sleep with ice packs on my burns and am wincing when I walk or move. Everyone else in the group was using Banana Boat and everyone is burnt horribly. I haven't been this burnt since I was a teenager and I will NEVER touch Banana Boat sunscreen again, and will advise everyone against it. A truly dangerous product, which should not be on our shelves. I will be seeking medical advise and following up with Banana Boat. If I could give negative stars, I would. Scathing reviews and horror stories are all over the internet, from YEARS back, please, please, PLEASE avoid this product.

Terible – I got banana boat 2 days ago, used it on the first day & got burnt extremely bad,( blisters) thought maybe I didn’t put enough on so the next day took extra caution & burnt even more. Don’t buy!! Show details

Severely burnt despite reapplying every hour – I’m not really sure how banana boat are still in business and get away selling their suncreen. Made a post on reddit asking if anyone else had the same issues getting burnt and everyone had the same answer yes and noted anyone else the know why used it also got severely burnt. And when I saw burnt I mean red raw, feeling and on extreme cases blistering.

Sunscreen that burns more than the sun – Banana boat sunscreen burnt my son’s skin 2 minutes after application. Adults also used at same time and were not protected ending in blistered skin. Show details

Worst sunscreen – Both my toddlers got burnt after using banana boat. They have never been burnt before using any other sunscreen and spend hours outside at daycare. I never write reviews but after seeing all the reviews this product needs to be taken off the shelf. Show details

I have a permanent scar now! – I would give it 0 if I could! I purchased it on a rush... I had used it before... never had an issue, but oh no, 20 minutes after application I had large fluid filled welts all over my arms. I was about to complete in a challenge and lining up at the start line. Seconds later they started popping and viscous clear liquid ran down my arms. After… Read more

washing it off, the welts came thick and fast for days! Chemical burns a scientist sais after seeing my drenched shirt one day at work from the welts popping. Now I am left with a hideous burns scar on my upper arm that is stark white against my skin. Recall this Dam product.

0 star review – Does not protect from the sun at all. We followed all instructions. The kids had hats and rashies on. Me, my husband and my 2 children are badly burnt. My son is that bad he has blisters, on pain medication!! Please do not use any banana boat products. I saw a post on facebook lastweek about a little girl who was so badly burnt from the sun after… Read more

using banana boat her back was so blistered but I still used this on my family on now we are in the same situation because I ignored that mums warning ⚠️ it needs taking off the shelfs may aswell apply nothing!!

Greasy. Difficult to apply. Poorly designed container – Rounded button is difficult to press. Direction to apply from 10-15cm results in waste of product via diffusion. Any attempt to apply from a closer distance results in what I can describe as greasy lint (on clean skin - not applied over sand) Show details

Just remove the Product – Third time I've used this and again I am triple burnt but after a shower both arms are covered in hives. I've looked at the other products on Banana Boat and saw the product recall because it caused cancer. Now I've had some antihistamines the hives are going away but I'm thinking of using it again when I work and then taking a picture of before and after and have a chat to the lawyer's suing optis and medians. Show details

Simply does not work - surprised it hasn’t been banned – It does not work. I used it and was only in the sun for about an hour yet I was horribly sun burnt. If I could give negative stars I would. Show details

0 stars!!! May aswell have not worn sunscreen at all!! – Absolute load of rubbish!! My whole family is so badly burnt despite following the instructions of reapplying every 2hours. I may aswell have rubbed cooking oil over our skin and jumped in the oven!! I’m horrified as a mum that I have put this product on the skin of my 3 babies and basically basted them in the sun today. If I could sue this company, I would!!! Show details

Worst. Sunscreen. Ever – We may as well have applied grease to our bodies-it would probably given better sun protection than this and as a bonus it would be less greasy. Used it twice, first time thought I hadn’t applied enough or missed spots and got burnt within an hour. Second time the same thing happened. Worst. Show details

Really bad – I used this Christmas day went out to beach for 1 hour and I was so badly burnt i would not use this again and I don't think it should be sold anymore Show details

How is this still being sold – Purchased this about a month ago so almost new and my entire family got so badly burnt. I jump on here and see reviews from over 12 months ago and the product is just as terrible now as it was then. Why have improvements or recalls not been made. The only places we got burnt were the places we applied the sunscreen. Please remove this product from… Read more

sale, you think your protecting yourself from not only sunburn but skin cancer when in actual fact it seems to cause roasting like oil on a chicken!

Awful! Burnt Face – After putting on sport 50 spf (expiry 2023) i thought id be safe to go for a walk outside for a couple of hours wasn’t even peak sun times and my face is burnt. Thankfully i didn’t spend all day outside. Looking at the reviews all saying the same thing i wonder how this product can still be being sold. Show details

Absolute sham product. Does not protect from the sun at all – “SP 50”. If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolutely awful. I really don’t think it would have been any different if I didn’t wear any sunscreen at all. This product is a complete sham and shouldn’t be sold. Reapplied this product early and often and got absolutely fried by the sun in less than 3 hours. Took time to let it soak in and everything… Read more

and it was completely ineffective. Hopes and prayers probably do a better job at protecting from the sun than this garbage.

Worst sunscreen I've ever used! – Used Banana Boat 65 SPF, applied twice within 3 hours and have the WORST sunburn I've ever had! This sunscreen is horrible, Banana Boat should be out of business for misleading people and causing harm!!!!

This sunscreen is absolutely terrible – Despite reapplying it on two occasions (within 4hrs), we all still got very sunburnt. This sunscreen did not work at all. My son ended up with blisters on his shoulders. Do NOT buy this sunscreen. We give it a 0/10. Show details

Useless – We'd give it a 0 if we could. reapply'd twice (vs friends kids who didn't reapply) and our kids were tomatoes vs friends kids who were completely unaffected. Does not work Show details

Worst sunscreen I have ever used – We thought we were purchasing a top of the range sunscreen and we all spent the day at the beach, reapplied 3 times during the day and all 4 of us left the beach BURNT … so badly burnt that we all had to smother ourselves in coconut oil after our showers to soothe our skin. This product is USELESS and I will never purchase Banana Boat again. Show details

How is this allowed to be called sunscreen when it doesn't work? – I used this product but was burnt to a crisp my wife was also burnt to a crisp it doesn't work _ not sure why this review isn't accepted the product is nit fit for purpose and I can't believe it's allowed to be sold Show details
