Banana BoatMineral Sunscreen SPF 50 Lotion, 5oz | Zinc Oxide Sunscreen Lotion, Beach Essentials, SPF 50 Sunblock, 5oz

I am shocked at how good this mineral sunscreen is. I am a mineral sunscreen junkie and have so many expensive ($50+ a bottle) high end versions. I have fair/light combo skin and hate greasy, pasty sunscreen. This mineral sunscreen rubs in quickly and isn’t greasy. It out performs MANY high end sunscreens. I love that it has 19% zinc (substantial compared to some others) and is waterproof 80 mins. One thing I found interesting (and awesome) is that iron oxide is listed (last) in the ingredients, which means it has a *very* slight tint. Iron oxide is shown to help block visible/blue light which can be important to people like me with discoloration. This sunscreen is pretty robust for a “basic” drugstore brand. The color is more of a (very pale yellow almost?) off white, not stark white, I think due to the iron oxide listed. I wouldn’t call it tinted, but at least it’s better than paper white sunscreen. In comparison to other thick, heavy, greasy stark white mineral sunscreens, this one is a breeze to rub in! I cannot find anywhere if this sunscreen is nano or non nano, so that’s something to take into consideration if you care, which I really do not. If nano sunscreen is a big concern of yours I would reach out to banana boat to confirm. I purchased this so I don’t have to use my expensive face mineral sunscreens on my body but shockingly this may end up being my new favorite mineral face sunscreen. It isn’t drying on me personally (combo skin leaning oily) and it also wore fine under makeup. The finish is a soft satin after dried down. I’m pretty blown away! It preformed perfect at the pool, even in humidity. I will most likely repurchase. I’m glad to not have to repurchase the more expensive MDSolar science mineral sunscreen I was previously using on my body. I purchased with my own money no paid review! 10 out of 10 for the value and performance from me!!!

I’m extremely sensitive to scents and hate the smell of coconut oil—so I was skeptical when I saw it listed as an ingredient. But to my surprise and relief, this Banana Boat Mineral Sunscreen is truly fragrance-free! No coconut scent whatsoever. The formula is lightweight, non-greasy, absorbs quickly into the skin, and leaves absolutely no white cast. It’s perfect for daily use and ideal for anyone who wants reliable sun protection without the typical drawbacks of mineral sunscreens. Will definitely repurchase!

I liked this but my family did mention a white cast. I guess not using so much could help. Does it's job overall.

The BEST of all mineral sunscreens I’ve tried! I’ve gone through sunscreen after sunscreen and the long standing issue with the mineral type is the white cast and needing massive globs just to cover one area. THIS banana boat is magic! Rubs in so smooth and a little goes a long way! Does not leave a white cast. Also, big bonus points for being fragrance free. I have ordered three and made my mom a lifelong customer as well. YAY banana boat!

Good sunscreen, and really doesn’t leave a harsh white cast. My son’s girlfriend is Hispanic, and she was pleased that it didn’t make her look chalky.

I’ve been using the original Sensitive Mineral and yes it leaves a white cast but it’s thick and mineral and I love it. I would put moisturizer, primer and foundation and my rest of my makeup over it with no issues. But this new Mineral Formula is nothing like original. It’s clear and smoothed very easy. But it burned. Whatever they’re using it burned my skin & original sensitive did not burn my skin.The new formula dries semi matte and doesn’t leave no greasy or oily feel which I love. I don’t like sunblocks that are designed for face but are greasy, this is perfect and not greasy. But something burned. I will continue to use and see if my skin adjust since I love the finish of this new formula. Just hope it stops burning eventually. I’m hoping my skin is just sensitive and will adjust.

I really love this! It blends in completely, doesn’t leave a white cast, and doesn’t make me greasy. I apply it before I put makeup on and I’m definitely a fan. It’s a large tube for $10. It is unscented and very effective. I’ve tried so many other brands and they give you a small amount for a higher price. I will buy this again.

This is the easiest to apply mineral sunscreen I have tried, and I have tried many. It rubs in easily and doesn't leave a white cast. I don't use this on my face because I like a tinted sunscreen for my face. This is great for kids because it is so quick to apply.
