LaurieM says "Banana Boat Ultra Mist Sport is overpriced and overrated...." about Banana Boat Ultra Mist Sport SPF 30 Sunblock

While it's not really a difficult job to rub sunblock on my children, or I it is however, a slow process and I often worry that I missed a few spots. Regular cream sunblocks can be greasy and take forever to get off my hands. It leaves stains on my magazines and makes water bottles slippery. When I saw Banana Boat Ultra Mist Sport SPF 30 Sunblock at Wal-Mart, I thought it was a great idea. The concept of a mist that I could simply spray on was a great one but unfortunately, after using it, I wasn't very impressed.

About Banana Boat Ultra Mist Sport

This product is advertised as being a non-greasy formula that provides oil-free, SPF 30-rated, broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection from the sun's harmful rays. It has a spray applicator that provides fast and even coverage. It comes in a 6 oz. aluminum can and costs around $12.

My Experience

The first time I used this product, I noticed that the push button on the top was a bit stiff. I had to hold the can in my left hand and use my right thumb...

cdfischers says "damaged my son's skin" about Banana Boat Ultra Mist Sport SPF 30 Sunblock

This sunscreen has alcohol in it and damaged the skin on my son's face. He has dry skin and we applied it, it caused his skin to peel off, leaving his skin completely discolored and blotchy. I'm certain his skin will even out after his remaining summer tan fades, but this is really bad....

MacGyver says "So Great, You Stay White!" about Banana Boat Ultra Mist Sport SPF 30 Sunblock

We did a 2 week Spainish cruise & with Irish skinned husband I knew a good sunblock was necessary. Consumer Reports applauded Banana Boat Ultra Mist Sport so I was off to find it. Giant Eagle had it & 30 was our choice. So every morning afer his shower, he sprayed his whole body & head as did I. We walked Madrid, Vigo, Lison Portugal. The Azores, and days in the sun on a louger on our aft balcony.

When we got home folks could'nt not believe that we went to Spain since we were winter white with no tan at all. Turns out 30 was too strong for both of us. So now it is 15 and yes a nic tan does shows.

This doesn't wash off in a pool or ocean, so it is great for kids too, including babies.

Even wearing a leather jacket and helmet while riding you still have exposed skin that will get burned. Putting on a sunblock is a no brainer, especially on an 11 hour ride!

Banana Boat Ultra Mist Spf 50 Spray

I bought this before I left because my face, neck and wrists would still be exposed even with all my safety clothing on. My gloves have holes at the knuckles and I forgot to apply it there so needless to say my knuckles got a little burnt...lol

Easy to apply as you just spray it on with no wiping needed, I did however spray it on my hands to put it on my face so I wouldn't get any in my eyes. It worked great too as the sun was beaming on me the entire ride to Indiana and back(well most of the way back anyway, I got wet the last 150 miles...lol)

The 4 days I spent camping were sunny and this Banana Boat came in very handy and even though I spent 4 days exposed I never once got burned. I did however get a very deep bikers tan....yes my forehead has a white stripe from wearing my doo rag....lol......
