    Hi, I’d like to try this on my daughter who has eczema. It would be great for outdoor events like athletics, beach days, picnics, and all the other fun under the sun. Thanks

  2. Missy73 25/10/2019 at 10:54 pm

    I would love to try this on my kids , I love the fact it’s for sensitive skin as my daughter gets dermatitis on her face so if this dosent flare it up then it’s a win from us 😊

  3. Budnipz 24/10/2019 at 8:20 pm

    having a 6 month old and a 3 year old with sensitive skin this would kill 2 birds with one stone, and so handy as we are forever at the beach in summer only living 15 mins away (and in laws that live AT the beach)

    Summer is coming and we plan to do lots of walks, great chance to try sun protection!

  5. Leisha Holdcroft 24/10/2019 at 6:05 am

    I would love to try this on my 8 year old who gets exzema flare ups from most sunblock and also on my 5year old fair skinned boy.
    We spend a lot of summer weekends out at the beach or the camping and if not out and about the kids are all outside in the pool. There are 4 kids in the house so we go through quite a bit of sunblock!

    I currently have 5 different sunscreen brands and variations being used in our household because each person has at least one complaint about someone else’s sunscreen. It feels sticky, it stinks, it doesn’t stay on and I get burnt, it goes everywhere on my clothes and leaves marks that don’t come out in the wash – uggghhh – I need to find one product because I am sick of toting 5 different sunscreens everywhere I go! If this truly does what it says it does then maybe this will be the one!

  7. Jimbobsmummy 23/10/2019 at 8:29 pm

    I would absolutly love to try this genuinly. I have 6 children, eldest is 12 and youngest 2. 3 of them have very sensitive skin (eczema). All of them are fair children who burn easily so therefore i believe we would be the perfect family to give this one a try. If it works we will be repeat customers by the bucket load haha

  8. Keeyah Lucena 23/10/2019 at 4:47 pm

    One of my daughters has a skin allergy and it’s always hard to find a sunscreen she doesn’t react to. Would love to trial this product on her.

  9. anji12 23/10/2019 at 11:51 am

    Always need a good sunscreen on hand and summer is coming so would love to try this one out!

  10. Julie 23/10/2019 at 7:44 am

    I would love to test this sunscreen out on my family as we all have sensitive skin. Coming into cricket season my husband spends all Saturday out in the sun and while he plays my son (3) and I will be at the beach or park all afternoon. My challenge this summer is no Saturday sunburns for anyone

  11. Steph 22/10/2019 at 7:37 pm

    We would love to try this sunscreen! I have three kids, 6, 4 and 20 months. They all have my pale skin and I’m always looking for the best way to keep them from burning as they practically spend all day outside during the summer.

  12. amanda 22/10/2019 at 1:34 pm

    We would LOVE to trial the new banana boat sensitive sunscreen with zinc!!! I have 3 very fair boys who love to be outside! We spend lots of time camping at the beach over summer as well as parks, backyard, kindy, school, etc. this sounds perfect for our needs!! My youngest reacts to a lot of different sunscreens coming up with dry patches, so if this suits (I’m hoping it will as he tends to be better with zinc based) we will be regular buyers!!! Thanks for the opportunity 🙂

  13. rachaelsfun 22/10/2019 at 8:10 am

    would be amazing 🙂 have a 8 yr old and 2 twin 4 yr old neices that would be perfect to have as trialists here 🙂
    sounds great for summer esp at the beach and playing in the sun and at hot pools in summer

  14. jasminedando1 21/10/2019 at 11:53 pm

    I would love to try this brand on my children. Especially my youngest as he has very sensitive skin. I have heard lots of bad things about this brand but I always trial things myself before believing people. So I’d like to trial and get a great result from this sunscreen.

  15. Rozvergara 21/10/2019 at 11:08 pm

    I would love to try this. Summer is fast approaching – not fast enough though! My daughter goes to daycare and they require to bring sunscreen. I would like to try this as I need a good sunscreen which is recommended for sensitive skin. Will be honest for the feedback as to the length the sunscreen will last, how easily can it be applied, will it be fast absorbed by the skin – will it just sit on top of the skin or actually absorbed, comment on the smell/scent, will it hurt child’s eyes, will it be greasy after application- amongst other things.

  16. IceKiwi 21/10/2019 at 9:57 pm

    Yes please would love to give this a try with four children and nieces and nephews always tagging along this would be perfect to trial especially as we live at the beach and rivers all summer. Our kids have sensitive skin so this would be a great chance to see if this really works and keeps their skin safe at the same time.

  17. Marike7209 21/10/2019 at 9:33 pm

    We would like to trial this. I have 4 young children who loves swimming and we are spending lots of time outside and at the beach. My daughter and I struggle with sensitive skin and eczema.

  18. Keryn247 21/10/2019 at 9:00 pm

    This would be awesome to try on my 2 kids 5 and 8 years. They are such outside kids

  19. Deannah1988 21/10/2019 at 8:07 pm

    This would be great to try. We are looking for a good safe sunscreen for our 2 sensitive kiddos

  20. Emmarosejarman 21/10/2019 at 7:53 pm

    My family and I would love to try this. Mr 5 and miss 1 are ALWAYS outside, 24/7 if they could be and I’m always yelling at them to put a hat on. Miss 1 is always ripping her hat off too, so a good sunscreen is definately needed

  21. lisarusden 21/10/2019 at 7:29 pm

    This would be great for my DS1 to use at daycare!
    He has very fair, sensitive skin and we are really careful about what we put on his skin and prefer as natural as possible but my current sunscreen of choice isn’t water resistant enough so we can’t use it at daycare 🙁

    The other zinc based one I have bought to use at daycare is very thick and leaves him looking like a little ghost

    This one sounds perfect!

  22. Sharon Goldsbro 21/10/2019 at 12:26 pm

    Ooh yes this would be great to try out – I’m always on the lookout for new and good sun products. And with my fair Irish skin (which my 7 year old daughter has too) I am a minimum of 50 SPF too – thanks Banana Boat and Kidspot!

  23. Issa 21/10/2019 at 11:53 am

    My boys are very active – loves biking, beach, sports, etc. Would like them to trial this producr this summer. Thank you.

  24. fefifofum 21/10/2019 at 1:00 am

    Oooh yes please, we would love to try this sunscreen. I have two active kiddies, 11 and 6 years old who this would be ideal to try for. My eldest has some allergies and my youngest does have itchy skin from time to time and would be good to see how banana boat compares to brands we have used in the past.

  25. laoshizhu 20/10/2019 at 7:28 pm

    With Summer coming, this product will be ideal for my 7 and 4 years old daughters and 1 year old son! My younger daughter has eczema so I would quite appreciate its sensitive skin friendly feature! I’m also curious about the zinc element in this product and want to find out what it can function on our skin!

  26. Mama_of_4 20/10/2019 at 3:10 pm

    Ooooh I love things on my children that don’t have nasties in it!! I love to use sunscreen on my children so they don’t get burnt. So this would be amazing please!

  27. Hannah Rutland 20/10/2019 at 1:49 pm

    I would love to trial this for you as we have 2 toddlers with sensitive skin and struggle to find sunscreen that doesn’t flare their skin up. It would be great to see how good the new Banana Boat sunscreen is!

  28. Helen.Raethel 20/10/2019 at 8:13 am

    Would love to try this out! We were fortunate to review the last Banana Boat sunscreen from you guys and this was a staple in the glove box for those spontaneous trips to the beach or park. Would love to trial this new one.

  29. Joanna Morrison 20/10/2019 at 1:31 am

    I’d love to try this on my three kids. My youngest has very sensitive skin and I seem to have a different sunblock to suit each kid. I’d love to find one that suits all three 🙂

  30. Abbey 19/10/2019 at 1:59 pm

    Wow this looks too good to be true! My daughter and I are sensitive to most sun blocks… facial dermatitis reactions, eczema gets irritated… I’ve been wondering which one I should try this time round with the up coming days… I would love to trial this as we both also burn easy, my daughter is so fair, so SPF50+ is what we need. I believe we would be perfect for this and really love the chance to try before we buy!
