This time, the topic is about sun protection. 2 months ago I
was searching for sun screen for face that could last longer when in touch with sweat n water than average
product since I was planning to spend holiday at the beach side. Banana Boat
came into my thought. I have read that this brand is specialized in Sun Care
products. When I was walking into Guardian to shop, the SA offered me this
product. It was on sale. The original price is above IDR 100k, I forgot how
much exactly but I could buy it only for UDR 70k. So I put it into my shopping
bag without examining the information provided on the carton box >.<

The packaging is tube with brand new seal when I first
received it. The plastic material is easy to squeeze and the flip flop cape is
tight enough. It has complete information on the box and also the back of the
tube.
This is how the product looks like
it's a white thick lotion
The lotion texture is quite on heavy side. It’s creamy and thick. It is moisturizing to be used on hands and body, but surely way too greasy for my face. Fyi, I have oily combination skin that wouldn’t get along with any creamy or thick lotion/ cream. So, I only could use this as hands and body sun screen, not for my face. There mineral oil derivative on the ingredients list so I definitely could not use it on my face. I usually have breakout when I use product that contains mineral oil and it’s derivatives.
For hand and body sun screen, I have tested it during my
vacation and it showed good protection. I played with water and sand under the
sun and my skin is well protected, I did not get any redness or sunburn. This lotion
formed some kind of protecting film after I applied on my skin. I somehow could notice the
‘protection layer’ after I use it on my hands. The product somehow seems like coating my skin after applied. This product really is water
resistant. The formula is sweat proof and splash proof too. I did not swim so I
could not say how strong it could last inside the water.
Of course, I also have to reapply to maintain the sun
protection. I reapplied after 2,5- 3 hours. Actually the right direction is
every after 2 hours and don’t forget to wait about 20 minutes after applying
sun screen before going under the sun again.
Pros :
- Water Resistant
- moisturizing
- good sun protection
Cons :
- too thick and greasy to be used on face
- contains quite a chance of pore clogging in the
ingredients list
- mineral oil derivative
Repurchase ? No. There are several ingredients list that I
don’t like in this sunscreen. I’ll finish this tube and then search for other
products that more skin-friendly.
So, girls, are u using anything from this brand? Do share ur
thought : )
