Does what a low-SPF tanning oil is meant to do, but the SPF 4 rating means it should not be relied on as real sun protection.

Overview
A pack of five 8 fl oz sprays of Banana Boat's Deep Tanning formula with coconut oil, made at SPF 4, one of the lowest SPF levels the brand sells. It is built for users chasing a faster tan rather than for meaningful sun protection.
SPF 4 sits well below the SPF 30 or higher generally recommended for daily sun protection, so this is a deliberate trade-off toward tanning speed over protection. The coconut oil formula and spray format are aimed at that older-style tanning oil use case, not daily sunscreen duty.
- Value pack of five 8 fl oz spray bottles
- SPF 4 tanning formula
- Coconut oil base
- Discontinued by manufacturer
Who it's for
For people who specifically want a low-SPF tanning oil to darken skin faster and already accept the reduced sun protection that comes with it. Not a fit for anyone whose main goal is guarding skin from UV exposure.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Five 8 oz bottles for repeat use
- Coconut oil formula for tanning-oil fans
- Spray format is quick to apply
- SPF 4 gives minimal UV protection
- Not suited to users prioritizing sun safety
- Listed as discontinued by the manufacturer
Performance notes
Applied as a spray, the coconut oil formula is designed to accelerate tanning rather than shield skin, and the value pack of five 8 oz bottles suits regular beach or pool use over a season.
