Overview
Banana Boat's UltraMist Continuous Spray is a dry oil tanning spray rated SPF 8, packaged as a 6 ounce aerosol can. It is unscented and formulated with antioxidants for dry skin.
SPF 8 sits well below the SPF 30 to 50 range most guidance recommends for daily sun exposure, which places this product in the tan-accelerating category rather than the sun-protection category. The dry oil format and continuous spray delivery are built to lay down without the greasy residue of standard tanning oils. It is unscented, which is unusual for a Banana Boat tanning product.
- 6 ounce continuous spray aerosol
- SPF 8 dry oil formula
- Formulated for dry skin
- Antioxidant ingredients included
Who it's for
For people intentionally tanning who want a light, non-greasy oil rather than a thick lotion, and who accept SPF 8 as minimal rather than primary sun protection. Not a substitute for a daily SPF 30 plus sunscreen.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Dry oil finish, less greasy than standard tanning oils
- Continuous spray for even application
- SPF 8 is low compared to daily sunscreens
- Aerosol format has travel restrictions
- Not suited for those prioritizing sun protection
Performance notes
The dry oil base is formulated to absorb without the heavy sheen of standard tanning oils, and the continuous spray nozzle is built for even, hands-free application. Antioxidants are included in the formula, but SPF 8 provides only limited filtering of UV rays compared to a daily sunscreen, so the product functions more as a tanning aid than a protective layer.
