Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, we assess that "Banana Boat - Sensitive 100% Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 50+" can provide reliable sun protection. We love that it can protect from both UVA and UVB rays (not all sunscreens with SPF ratings give UVA protection. UVA rays do not cause sunburn, but still damage our skin and lead to early aging).

It contains good moisturizing ingredients and can double as a hydrating day cream. Like all broad-spectrum sunscreens, this product helps prevent early signs of aging.

Sunscreen filters

This sunscreen uses a mixture of both mineral and organic (so-called "chemical") UV filters. Here are the organic filters this product uses: butyloctyl salicylate, octisalate, homosalate and octocrylene. As for the mineral filters, this sunscreen uses both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
