Common questions

Is Banana Boat Lotion healthy?

Banana Boat Lotion scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Banana Boat Lotion?

Banana Boat Lotion lists 18 ingredients, starting with Water, Mineral Oil, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Stearic Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Banana Boat Lotion contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Banana Boat Lotion’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Banana Boat Lotion?

Banana Boat Lotion has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Banana Boat Lotion compare to other after-sun care?

At 15/100 Banana Boat Lotion scores worse than most after-sun care we have scored. A higher-scoring option in after-sun care is Badger After Sun Balm with Coconut and Ylang-Ylang at 100/100.

Banana Boat Lotion is not certified organic in our data.
