Alumina (Aluminium Oxide) is not a sensitive ingredient and should not be used in general.

Do not buy this product, it burned my skin and left welts and some blisters. Can't imagine it harming babies the same way. Strongly do not recommend.

Bought this because it was reef safe - burnt after 1 day and now need to find a swim shirt to cover the rest of the trip. Wouldn't recommend or purchase again

I just purchased it today because it had the ECZEMA ACCEPTANCE badge on it I trusted that and I'm glad I did! My eczema didn't flare up and It worked like it should by keeping my skin from getting burned or irritated from the sun. There is a white cast that's left behind but that I truly don't mind. It could probably go aways if I spend more time rubbing it into my skin. I will definitely be using this product on my babies for years to come. Mineral lotion is the way to go! Keep away from the chemical stuff

It's good. Yes, it can look white. But the I have to use it every day and I don't want to use the chemical sunscreens. Europeans ban them. So, I put it on, rub it in, wait 5 minutes while I'm getting my uniform on and hope that by then, most of the white is gone. I usually have to wipe a towel on the thicker white areas to get rid of looking white. But it is safe and effective and about as good as it gets.

It worked really well at first. Since it is a thick, lotion like texture it was easier to apply and wasn't as chalky. However, after washing it off for the night I noticed my face was red and irritated and I also did a test on my forearm which also had a rash. I have added photos of my skin after using for one day! Note: I usually have smooth and clear skin, no redness bumps or texture. Now my face is burned and irritated and woke up with small break outs! I would definitely recommend a patch test first!!!

Our family used the old Banana Boat Kids in the yellow bottle (used to be available in a 12 oz. pump, which was awesome!). For years and years we used that sunscreen. We were absolute devotees. Then they discontinued it and replaced it with this new one. While the active ingredients are the same, the formula is totally different. The old one was a normal lotion consistency, easy to rub in and with a white cast that faded quickly. And while it did settle into skin creases (inner elbows, etc.), it came basically clean with normal showering. This new formula is like GLUE. It takes forever to rub in, and leaves your skin looking white all day. When my kids hop into the pool or lake, the water beads up on top of this sunscreen, somehow the white cast gets even worse, and they look like wet, blobby ghosts. It migrates into creases and their hair line, leaving thick white streaks. And it is IMPOSSIBLE to wash off. Even with repeated scrubbings with a soapy washcloth, it adheres to the skin like superglue. My little one spent a while digging in the dirt yesterday after I applied this, and now the DIRT is also stuck to her like glue. We scrubbed and scrubbed in the shower last night, and she went back to camp with blackened legs this morning anyway. PLEASE bring back the old formula (AND the old larger pump bottles!). If you did, it would be the only sunscreen our entire family would use for the rest of all eternity. Until then, I'm shopping around for something that isn't impossible both to apply and to wash off. So disappointed.

I just bout this for a lake day for my daughter 4th birthday. Guess what banana boat helped my daughter get for her birthday and terrible sun burn also may self and her two siblings are burnt. Even after re applying 4 times in a 4 hour window. I finally borrowed a diffrent brand from somebody else.

As someone with very bad eczema I tried to find a mineral sunscreen product for sensitive skin. I applied this generously on my face neck arms and legs and went under the afternoon sun for about an hour. My neck was burning in pain with heat rash. The skin was soft to touch and stinged whenever I touch. This product caused my neck to get burnt instead. When i went out under the Sun without any product, I wouldn't even get painful skin. I had hives and itchy blisters over my whole body. It made my existing eczema wounds even itchier. Its even worse than my usual eczema breakout. The hives were uncountable. I am pretty sure there is something in this product that irritates my skin because my face hardly had hives even if I ate something wrong. This product is super thick and hard to spread but I thought thats the good thing (means its really full of minerals). I dabbed everywhere so that its easier to "spread" instead of rubbing only. It was SO HARD TO WASH OFF. i had to scrub the dead skin cells when showering in order to get rid off it. Not recommended for people with eczema. I thought i spent my money on a good product. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.

I don't really understand these negative reviews. Mineral sunscreen isn't supposed to absorb into your skin - that is the point as it is supposed to help reflect light preventing the sunburn. In addition, it makes sense it is hard to come off as you wouldn't want to get in the water and have it come off so quick it wouldn't work. That being said - I love this sunscreen! It lasts for hours and hours even after swimming, hiking, and walking outside. I have only had to reapply if I am literally in and out of water for more than 3-4 hours and wiping myself off. The white mostly disappears after a few minutes as well. It can be hard to get out of clothes but with a standard spray it comes out fine.
