I just got off the phone with a CSR for Banana Boat. She was very nice and helpful. I was calling about Peanuts/Nuts in their products in addition to Milk and Egg.

According to the CSR, Banana Boat does not use Peanut, Nut, Dairy or Egg in ANY of there products.
She did however mention that they are made in a facility that manufactures other products and Banana Boat has no way of knowing what ingredients are in those products. They do wash down the equipment between products.

Banana Boat has discontinued useing Sweet Almond Oil in there Suntan Oils.

That's so good to know. I was always fearful of Banana Boat because I think they had peanut in their products at one point...maybe not. Our neighbor's kids had Banana Boat on the other day and I was getting nervous thinking it was contaminated. Now I don't have to worry!

That's nice to hear. I called a few years ago and a very nasty CSR told me the information was propietary and would not give me an answer.
