Good sunblock. New bottle design with easy to read expiration date.
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 30
When reviewing this product. It ask you to put a STAR for: Sun protection Water resistance I put 5 stars because, how would i know? I don't use it to go into water and you'd need to be a scientist testing how good the sun protection is. I just assume it works. But i've used banana boat sunblock in the past. And it's been fine. No sunburns. As long as you remember to re-apply it because it's not meant to last all day. Pros: - It's sunblock - It works (from my previous experience) - New bottle design. They changed the style of the bottle. The new bottle has the date on it. The old bottles only had a serial number. In order to find out if your old bottles are expired you had to go to the banana boat website and see the instructions on how to read the serial # that way you can know the expiration date. The new bottle is more simple, the date is laid out easy to read on the bottle. - Long expiration date: I bought this sunblock around april or may of 2020 and the bottle says it will expire January 01, 2022 - Nice slim bottle to fit into a small bag. Cons: - It's a small 8 FL OZ bottle. My old bottle is a 10 FL OZ. Not sure if they still sell the 10FL OZ. - It feels a little heavy and thick on the skin. But after a while it's fine. - If you rub your hands / fingers around your eye, especially if you're sweaty. You might get the sunblock into your eyes. That has happened to me on hot summer days. It will make you teary eyed and irritate your eyes for a long while. - I hear this sunblock may stain clothes. So far that has not happened to me.

Ideal Sunscreen for Backpacking Adventures!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 30
I recently used Banana Boat Sport Ultra Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 on a backpacking trip, and it was absolutely perfect for my needs. This sunscreen provided excellent protection and convenience, making it a standout choice for outdoor activities. First off, the SPF 30 rating offers reliable protection against harmful UV rays, which is crucial for long hours spent in the sun. The lotion goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, which is a huge plus when you’re on the move. The size of the bottle is spot-on for backpacking. It’s compact and lightweight, fitting easily into my gear without taking up too much space. This makes it convenient to carry and apply whenever needed, ensuring that I stay protected without adding bulk to my pack. The water-resistant formula held up well even during sweaty hikes and water crossings. I didn’t have to reapply excessively, and it stayed effective throughout the day. The lotion also has a pleasant, non-overpowering scent, which is a nice bonus. In summary, Banana Boat Sport Ultra Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 is an excellent choice for anyone heading into the great outdoors. Its effective sun protection, ideal size for backpacking, and water-resistant properties make it a must-have for any adventure. Highly recommended for keeping your skin safe and comfortable while exploring!

Great sunblock, moisturizer, non-sticky and smells great!!
I’ve used a lot of sunscreen in my life being a fair skinned redhead and this product keeps me moisturized and prevented me from getting burned. We recently went to the French Polynesian islands and the sun hits hard down there and I never burned during our trip. I also absolutely loved how my skin felt moisturized and I never had dry skin from being in the pools and in the ocean. Plus, it smells amazing and you don’t feel sticky once it’s on.😊. Would highly recommend. Wish it was a little less in cost, but I love it.
