Banana Boat Ultra Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 (8 oz) Review

Banana Boat Ultra Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 is a good choice for consumers who want a general-purpose sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection at a budget-friendly price. This cheap sunscreen claims enthusiastic fans, according to Banana Boat Ultra Defense reviews on Makeupalley.com. Users with pale skin cite its protective qualities, even in all-day sun, and one mom reports that it kept her daughter's eyelids from burning. Banana Boat Ultra Defense sunscreen reviews also note that it doesn't irritate skin, has no annoying fragrance, and absorbs quickly without leaving an oily sheen. Most users appreciate the thin consistency (like hand lotion) that makes for easy application; the stick version also wins praise in Banana Boat Ultra Defense sunscreen reviews on Drugstore.com for its ease of use on lips, ears, and noses, and especially children's faces.

Still, not all consumers are enthralled. A few Banana Boat Ultra Defense sunscreen reviews on Amazon and Walgreens say it failed to protect users from sunburn and came off in the water despite being billed as water-resistant.

Banana Boat Ultra Defense SPF 50 is enriched with moisturizing aloe vera and vitamins A and E, as are the other SPF levels (15, 30, 80, and 100) in the Ultra Defense product lineup. This cheap sunscreen also contains avobenzone and oxybenzone, which protect against the UVB rays that cause sunburn and the UVA rays that penetrate deeper into the skin and can cause long-term damage. And, as noted in Banana Boat Ultra Defense SPF 50 reviews, the sunscreen is devoid of the heavy tropical scent common to many sunscreens.

Easy to find online and at almost any drugstore, Banana Boat Ultra Defense SPF 50 is a low-cost, high-performing, long-lasting sunscreen that will see you through lots of outdoor summertime activities.
