Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SPF50 and SPF50+?
SPF50+ offers very high protection, blocking approximately 98% of UVB rays. In New Zealand, where UV levels are among the highest in the world, SPF50+ is the recommended minimum for daily outdoor use.
Is this sunscreen suitable for use under makeup?
Yes. The lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and works well as a daily base under makeup. Apply at least 20 minutes before sun exposure and before applying makeup.
How often should I reapply this sunscreen?
Reapply every 2 hours, or more frequently when sweating heavily or immediately after swimming or towelling. No sunscreen lasts all day without reapplication.
Is Banana Boat Moisturising Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+ suitable for sensitive skin?
This formula is dermatologically tested. However, if you have highly sensitive or reactive skin, we recommend patch testing before full use. For very sensitive skin, consider Banana Boat's Sensitive SPF50+ range.
