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.

  • Spray format is quick to apply
What to check first
  • SPF 4 gives minimal UV protection
  • Not suited to users prioritizing sun safety

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.
