You’ve trusted Mamavation to bring you topics like safest sunscreens, green beauty makeup without PFAS “forever chemicals,” and best water purifiers for PFAS “forever chemicals“, now join us for the story behind the Banana Boat sunscreen recall. And stick around for the end where we will make recommendations on better sunscreen products.

Banana Boat Recalls Sunscreens Due to Toxic Benzene
Some Banana Boat sunscreen has been recalled due to trace levels of benzene. According to Edgewell Personal Care Company, the makers of Banana Boat sunscreen products, and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), batches of Banana Boat sunscreen were voluntarily recalled due to trace amounts of benzene. Benzene is a cancer-causing chemical. Recalled products are called:
- Banana Boat Hair & Scalp Sunscreen Spray SPF 30
If you purchased these aerosol sunscreen products, you should stop using the affected product immediately and discard the product, per their statement. Banana Boat is offering a refund to anyone who purchased a recalled can of Banana Boat.
You can call 1-888-686-3988 Monday through Friday or visit the banana boat website to receive reimbursement.
Please visit your personal physician or healthcare provider if you have any symptoms you believe need to be addressed. If you need to report an adverse reaction to this product, or if you have reports of adverse events, visit FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail or by fax.
- Complete and submit the report Online: https://www.fda.gov/safety/medwatch-fda-safety-information-and-adverse-event-reporting-program
- Regular Mail or Fax: Download form at https://www.fda.gov/ or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178.
What Is Benzene & Why Is It In My Banana Boat Sunscreen?
Benzene is likely coming from the propellant inside the Banana Boat Sunscreen. Benzene is a carcinogenic chemical created through both human activities and natural processes. Most of the time you are exposed to it through industrial emissions like gasoline, forest fires, volcanoes, or secondhand cigarette smoke, but you can also be exposed to it from your personal care products as well. You are also exposed to benzene more indoors than outdoors based on products you use inside your home. (Here’s more on how to clean up your indoor air.)
Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen. Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally, and through the skin and it can result in cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders that can be life-threatening.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), here are the signs and symptoms that will display themselves within minutes to several hours of exposure:
-
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat
- Headaches
- Tremors
- Confusion
- Unconsciousness
- Death (at very high levels)
But how is this getting into my sunscreen? Most aerosol bottles contain butane, propane, or isobutane, which can be contaminated with butadiene, which is a known carcinogen. It’s the butane, propane, or isobutane inside Banana Boat’s sunscreen that could be causing the elevated amounts of benzene present.
Other Personal Care Products Recently Recalled for Benzene
Please note that recently other products have been recalled for benzene as well. Procter & Gamble, parent company to popular brands like Herbal Essences, Pantene, Waterl<ss, Hair Food, & Old Spice, had a recall in December of 2021. Johnson & Johnson also recalls with Neutrogena & Aveeno earlier this year.

Why Do So Many Personal Care Products Have Benzene Contamination?
So why is this happening all of a sudden in personal care products? Well, it’s not likely something that is new, but it’s more likely that these companies were caught with benzene and are now reacting to the pressure.
In May of 2021, Valisure, an independent online pharmacy and testing company, released a report showing the presence of benzene in 78 batches of products from major brands, including Banana Boat, Neutrogena, CVS Health, Sun Bum, Walgreens, and more.
What Are Mamavation’s Favorite Sunscreens?
Mamavation is bringing in our investigation on sunscreens to make this easy on you when you decide to purchase a better prodcut. We have them all listed and broken down by “not our favorite,” “better,” and then “best.”
Not Our Favorite Sunscreen Products
These are all chemical sunscreens. These brands contain oxybenzone, or other chemical sunscreen chemicals like octinoxate, homosalate, or octisalate. We are also putting products here that contain parabens or other hormone-disrupting chemicals like benzene that were discovered in brands in 2021. (Notice this is where you’ll find all the Banana Boat sunscreens, some of which were recalled due to benzene.)

Recalling substandard products is necessary.
It’s so useful. I don’t know about toxic benzene before reading this. I should change my sunscreen which is more friendly for nature.
