Sunscreens

Suncreen products have not been tested for some time. My daughter was horribly burnt on the weekend after applying Banana Boat Sport 50+ with Powerstay technology Sweat Resistant, which is supposed to be 4 hour water resistant (although with the suggestion that it be reapplied every 2 hours). She was in the sun for just over 2 hours, with a short swim during this time. At exactly the same time, my other daughter used a Neutrogena sunscreen, with the same exposure and short swim, and was not burnt at all. After talking about this product, multiple friends said that they had heard similar stories about Banana Boat (basically, it is a poor product). This is quite dangerous, I feel, as often you do not know that you’re sunburnt until after you leave the sun. Is it time for re-testing sunscreen products, Choice?
