Easy to use

I really like this sunscreen. Its really easy to use, especially on children as they love the fact that it sprays on! It dried fairly quick and didnt leave a greasy residue on my skin. It did prevent me from getting sunburnt but I do prefer an SPF of 50 and this only provides 30 but other than that its pretty darn good

Not impressed!

If you like your clothing/swimwear then I seriously suggest steering clear of this one.

This product appealed to me as it was meant to be clear and light with good protection.. Little did I know it would destroy one of my fave t-shirts and stain other clothing with its scent!

There are several options on the market which don't do what this did.. And I think in this day in age there are no excuses for products ruining your clothes.. I expect that from a thick and hard to absorb lotion sunscreen not a 'clear' spray.

Yes it stopped me from getting burnt.. And yes it was convenient.. But it was not worth destroying clothes over.. End of story.

Did the same to other garments and one of my Fiances items of clothing too! You cannot beat Coola for spray sunscreen!

Awesome sunscreen

I used so many cans of this last summer, was excellent to use on the kids who were in a hurry to get outside and loved that you could quickly spray them and didnt have to worry about greasy hands etc. Excellent stuff.

Convenient and effective

I thought this was great. I won a can from the Banana Boat FB page, and took it with me when I was travelling overseas during their summer last year.

I found it really handy, just a quick spray all-over and you're done! It dries really quickly and doesn't need to be rubbed in. Great to pop in the carry bag to take to the beach or pool. The can lasts ages, I shared this with others and used it almost daily and it lasted me all summer.

I didn't find that it ruined any of my clothes like some of the other ladies have mentioned. (That would have made me so upset!)

The smell isn't overpowering or unpleasant (typical sunscreen smell), and the mist/fumes aren't intoxicating.

This is a real on-the-go convenient product. Thumbs up.

Banana Boat

This stuff worked really well for me on my holiday in Australia. Easy to apply and didn't miss any spots and end up burnt.

The only problem we had was that my partners white shirt ended up with horrid stains on it. We couldn't get them off either.

If you wear dark clothes it would be fine. I still rate the sunscreen just don't wear white!

Really convenient!

I used this when I was on a holiday in Phuket, 3 days of being under the sun and no sunburn! Yay! I apply so many thing on my skin that the constant spreading and massaging of products gets tiring SOMETIMES. I love that this sunscreen just has to be sprayed- no oily residue in the hands from the spreading, no blending to make sure I don't go out with patches of white lotion in my body. You just spray all over, make sure you don't miss a spot and you're all set to enjoy the sun!

It does the job..

Wow, when this product was released, I thought this is such a good idea and so convenient. I was lucky enough to try a full size product of this by winning it off their website, so I was able to give this product a good go, and had nothing to lose.

Firstly I like the packaging on the product. It is in a standard pressurized container, but has smooth lines. The lid click to open and close, so you can lock this product when it’s not in use to avoid wastage, and accidental spraying. Good thinking banana boat. The design of the package is quite sleek with mainly black, silver and blue colours, but it does not really jump out to you on the supermarket shelf, even though it is one of the better looking sunscreens I have seen. It’s also hard to know how much sunscreen is left in the container. Additionally, because of its aerosol format, this product is reasonable light weight, so it’s easy to take with you everywhere and anywhere. My partner in particular likes to take this hunting because it is quick, easy and light.

The product is easy to use, and simply pressing on the top releases the sunscreen in a spray form, which looks clear on the skin. It is easy to manoeuvre, and gets those places such as your neck and back easily. Additionally, it dries really quickly, and it fast to use! However, I would recommend spraying outside, because when you spray inside, even in a large space it’s quite potent and gives you an uncomfortable feeling in your mouth when accidentally inhaled.

However, the point of using sunscreen is to use it before you got outside, so although this is a minor issue, it kind of makes me question why this product is like this. This leads me to another aspect which I don’t like about the product, and its wastage. Although the product does last a long time, the amount of product that is wasted in the air is a bit, and can easily been seen floating in the air (obviously it would not be noticeable when sprayed outside).

Overall, this product is decent, its seems to do the job, and I have never got sunburnt when using it. But I don’t like the wastage, the point that it should be used outside, and the fact that it is hard to gauge how much product is actually left in the container. I may repurchase this product in the future, but I have found an alternative sunscreen that I like a lot better (Oasis), so will be sticking to that one for now.

Sunblock revolution!

I'm very fair so I have to be super strict about sun safety, but I also have super dry hands and rubbing in sunscreen makes them feel awful so spray on sunblocks are amazing for me! This one is my favourite, much better that the nuetrogena ones. It of course does the job of being a sunblock and it is also so easy to use, you can even reach your own back! This one has a lovely fine mist which feels so refreshing and less wastage than others so it lasts longer.

I only wish it was cheaper because it gets used up quite quickly.
