Banana Boat® Sun Care Launches New SunComfort™ Lotion Sunscreen Providing You and Your Family the Most Comfortable Experience under the Sun

SHELTON, Conn., April 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Edgewell Personal Care (EPC), the makers of Banana Boat^® brand sunscreen, announced today the availability of new SunComfort™ Lotion Sunscreen in mass, grocery and drug retailers nationwide. The addition of Banana Boat^® SunComfort™ Lotion Sunscreen completes its SunComfort™ portfolio line by providing safe and effective SPF protection, water-resistance (up to 80 minutes) and added benefits – with the unique feature of allowing sand to easily brush off skin.

"As an active mom of three very busy children, I know it can be challenging to remember to apply and reapply sunscreen when you're running around and planning for your day; however, as a dermatologist, I know the importance of being safe when you're in the sun," said Dr. Julie Karen¹, NYC-based board certified dermatologist and consultant to EPC. "I recommend my patients use a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with SPF 30 or above. I'm most excited about the new Banana Boat^® SunComfort™ Lotion Sunscreen – it not only provides powerful broad spectrum coverage in a water resistant formula, it also keeps skin moisturized while helping sand easily brush off skin – benefits any mom will love for her family so they can play at the beach!"  

SunComfort™ Lotion Sunscreen is tested to stay on in seven real life conditions – sun, pool water, ocean water, wind, sweat, sand and extreme heat up to 100 degrees – to provide safe and effective sun protection. SunComfort™ Lotion Sunscreen is available in SPF 30 and 50+.

"We know that everyone has different application preferences, which is why we're excited to extend the SunComfort™ portfolio to now include a lotion, providing moms a complete application regimen for applying and reapplying," said Tracy Garbowski, Senior Brand Manager of Banana Boat^® brand sunscreens. "We believe that you should never stop playing and that fun can happen anytime, anywhere, which is why we're proud to manufacture products that feel great on the skin while protecting from the sun, and stay on in seven real-life conditions. Banana Boat's new SunComfort™ Lotion Sunscreen is a great example of this – it provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and water resistance, but also allows sand to easily brush off and moisturizes to relieve dryness caused by the sun, chlorine and salt water."

The most comfortable line of sun protection yet, new SunComfort™ Lotion Sunscreen goes beyond sun protection and is great for everyday use as it is lightweight and moisturizes. This new formula allows sand to easily brush off and protects skin against dryness caused by sun, chlorine and salt water so even when you're outside all day long you can feel confident that Banana Boat^® has you covered.
