PROTECT YOURSELF THIS SUMMER WITH BANANA BOAT NATURAL REFLECT REVIEW + GIVEAWAY



It always feels like summer here in Florida. Here is Florida sunscreen is one of the best choices to avoid harming your skin. I am very particular what products I purchase for my family. Have you read the labels to some of these sunscreen products? Most of them you can't say and if you knew what they were you wouldn't want to use them. That is why I am thrilled that Banana Boat has come out with Natural Reflect Sunscreen Lotion!


Natural Reflect comes in SPF 50+, SPF 50+ for Kids, SPF 50+ for Babies, and a full line of Ultra Defense Products. 100% naturally-sourced mineral sunscreen is as effective as chemical sunscreens, active with Zinc Oxide, deflects UVA and UVB rays — and is ideal for sensitive and delicate skin.

What I love most about these products is that they are recommended by the skin cancer foundation and they are Oxybenzone and paraben free! Plus they are very water resistant! I didn't need to keep replying several times!



I gathered my family and friends and we put Natural Reflect to the test!


Families were given Natural Reflect to put on themselves on children.

I was amazed how nicely it covers the skin, leaving a nice coating of white even when fully rubbed in, great way to see what areas that may have been missed so that we do not get burned.

The families enjoyed themselves in the nice Florida sun all of this while being protected from the sun!


We were in the pool so much that it was time to take a break from the water and have some pizza.

Wait, isn't there something about waiting to go back in the water after eating? That didn't happen! Back in the pool! Kids seem to be like fish, never wanting to leave the pool!
Not one person was burned or showed any signs of sunburn after using Natural Reflects! Parents were given their own bottles to use and love over the summer. So how will you protect your loved one's from the summer sun?

Take the 101 Summer Days pledge - For every pledge made, Banana Boat will donate one bottle of Banana Boat Sunscreen Natural Reflect Lotion to the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a summer camp for children coping with cancer and other serious illnesses.

Banana Boat is generously offering one of my readers a Banana Boat Prize Pack!

  29. Sunscreen with natural products is so much better than the toxic stuff we normally have to put on ourselves and our children. I will definitely look into this, since we have sensitive skin issues in our family.
