Overview

Banana Boat Ultramist Dry Oil sprays on as a lightweight SPF 8 body oil, scented like coconut rum and built to moisturize skin while it tans.

SPF 8 is a low protection factor, closer to what is typically sold as a tanning oil than a sunscreen meant for extended sun exposure, so this fits people who want a light barrier and a moisturized finish while deliberately tanning rather than daily sun protection. The active ingredients are avobenzone, homosalate and octocrylene, and the formula is free of oxybenzone and octinoxate.

  • SPF 8 dry oil spray
  • 6 fl oz
  • Coconut rum scent
  • Water resistant and oxybenzone/octinoxate free

Who it's for

Suited to people who want a scented body oil with light SPF while sunbathing or tanning, on normal skin. Not appropriate for anyone who needs meaningful sun protection during longer outdoor exposure, since SPF 8 is a low level.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Lightweight, non-greasy oil format
  • Free of oxybenzone and octinoxate
What to check first
  • SPF 8 is a low protection factor for extended sun exposure
  • Coconut rum scent will not suit everyone

Performance notes

The dry-mist format is designed to spray on without leaving a greasy residue, and its three active ingredients, avobenzone, homosalate and octocrylene, provide broad low-level UV filtering rather than high protection. Being water resistant helps it hold up briefly around swimming or sweat, though SPF 8 will need reapplication and is not meant for all-day sun exposure.
