Common questions

Is Banana Boat Sunscreen healthy?

Banana Boat Sunscreen 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 Sunscreen?

Banana Boat Sunscreen lists 15 ingredients, starting with Water, Homosalate, Glycerin, Octisalate and Octocrylene. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Banana Boat Sunscreen contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Banana Boat Sunscreen’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 Sunscreen?

Banana Boat Sunscreen 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 Sunscreen compare to other sunscreen?

At 15/100 Banana Boat Sunscreen scores worse than most sunscreen we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sunscreen is Tallow & Zinc Sunscreen at 97/100.
