Common questions

Is Banana Boat Spray healthy?

Banana Boat Spray scores 58/100 on Tallow — our okay 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 Spray?

Banana Boat Spray lists 6 ingredients, starting with Alcohol Denat, Isobutane, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Isododecane and Acrylates/Octylacrylamide Copolymer. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Banana Boat Spray contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Banana Boat Spray’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 Spray?

Banana Boat Spray 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 Spray compare to other sunscreen?

At 58/100 Banana Boat Spray lands mid-scale — below the typical score in sunscreen, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in sunscreen is Tallow & Zinc Sunscreen at 97/100.

Is Banana Boat Spray organic?

Banana Boat Spray is not certified organic in our data.

Has Banana Boat Spray been lab tested?

Yes. 1 substance in Banana Boat Spray has a laboratory result on file — see the Contaminants section above for each reading and the limit it was measured against.
