Banana Boat Moisturising Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+

Banana Boat is a globally recognized sun care brand that originated in the United States. Founded in Miami, Florida, in 1978, the brand was initially created by Robert Bell to provide a functional and fun alternative to existing sunscreens. Over the decades, it has become a staple for outdoor protection, particularly known for its diverse range of sprays and lotions catering to families and athletes.

While the brand has its roots in the US, many of its products intended for certain regions are manufactured locally to meet specific regulatory standards. The product shown in the image features an 'AUST L' number on the packaging, indicating it is regulated by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and is manufactured in Australia to comply with the country's strict UV protection standards.

Ownership of Banana Boat has shifted through several major corporate hands, including Playtex and Energizer. In 2015, Energizer spun off its household and personal care divisions, leading to the creation of Edgewell Personal Care. As of 2026, Edgewell continues to serve as the ultimate owner, managing the brand from its headquarters in the United States and distributing products through various regional subsidiaries.
