I have not used this yet and probably won’t unless the formulations are accurate and work. I recall the makers of Banana Boat sunscreens did receive many very poor reviews and a lot of publicity for making false or misleading claims so as mentioned I have not used this product and not sure if I will.
- CONS:Previous Banana Boat products did not come up to scratch

Smells nice and covers well, but not sure if it is ideal for sports if sweating a lot.
Banana Boat Sport SPF50+ can work well for active sunny days — in theory offering high sun protection and water/sweat resistance — but real‑world reports are mixed. If you choose it, apply generously, re‑apply often, and don’t rely solely on it for long, intense sun exposure.
+ PROS: • Claims to offer very high sun protection (SPF 50+, broad‑spectrum UVA/UVB) — designed for outdoor/sport use. 
• Water‑ and sweat‑resistant (up to 4 hours) — useful for swimming, beach or active outdoor days. 
• Fast‑absorbing, non‑greasy feel — tends to go on smoothly and doesn’t leave a heavy film. 
- CONS:Numerous user reports say the sunscreen failed to prevent sunburn — even when applied liberally and re‑applied as directed. 
• Some users report skin reactions or irritation. 
• Others find it leaves a greasy or shiny finish — especially after sweating. 
• Protection seems inconsistent: depends heavily on correct application and frequent reapplication.

Chloe – Auckland –
Seemed to work for my late morning walk, it didnt feel like it was running off my skin too much.
Would likely still reapply in more exposed areas like my neck or shoulders at least every 2 hours

It absorbs well but even with using it as directed I did burn a little.
