    Discovery Cove using their suncream??

    Hi
    We are going to Discovery Cove October this year, after reading some reviews you have to use their own animal friendly sun cream, some reviews i have read you can get burnt easily as their factor is only spf 30.
    I contacted Discovery Cove (would recommend anyone to do if you have a question very helpful) if they could give me any other details to the sun cream they use here is their response:-

    <span style="color:blue">Thank you for contacting Discovery Cove. We always appreciate hearing from our guests, especially when we can help them in planning their day.

    We provide an animal friendly sunscreen by Panama Jack. It is the Guide and Outfitter sunscreen and the SPF is 30. We do request that our sunscreen is used because others are harmful to our fish.

    Here are the ingredients for the Panama Jack so you can compare and possibly find something with a higher SPF.

    ACTIVE: Titanium Dioxide 16.4%



    INACTIVE: Water, (C-12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Alumina, Polyhydroxystearic Acid & Proprietary Coating), (Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Cetyl Dimethicone Copolyol & Hexyl Laurate), PVP/Eicosene Copolymer, PEG-150/Decyl Alcohol/SMDI Copolymer, Beeswax, Glycerin, Stearyl Dimethicone, Sodium Chloride, Diazolidinyl Urea & Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Seaweed Extract, Disodium EDTA.

    Best regards,

    I have never heard of Panama Jack but had a look on different web sites and its quite popular over there, i can buy up to factor 75! But the factor 75 ingredients are slightly different but the factor 50 is more or less the same.
    My son is very fair and don’t want him to burn factor 30 isn’t that high considering he will be using Nivea spf 50 normally, anyway going to email them back to see if i can use the factor 50 Panama Jack i will pay £7-9 for it i don’t mind, sun burn can ruin you holiday.

    Alison.

    Ther sun screen is very good, our eldest tends to burn very easily around the eyes especially, and Panama Jack is very good. They give out the sun screen very freely so we had plenty left over, and continued to use it after. As long as you apply it often enough it should be fine.

    But still $9 is nothing for suncream. I went ot Boots yesterday and they wanted £11 for a factor 30 Nivea

    their suncream is very good my children are both very fair and burn easy, we did d.cove last march and only needed to apply twice

    wearing one of the parks full length wetsuits will also protect your son and i can highly recommend this site for both uva/b and spf factor 50+ swimwear

    I agree with Mizzy - use a wetsuit to be on the safe side. But Panama Jack has been around for years and is a good sunscreen.

    Use the wetsuit, not restrictive. The Panama Jack sunscreen is very good.

    we've had the bead bracelets and also a few suits from them for my son and they are absolutely fab[clap]
    you must remember that you will not be able to wear the bead bracelets when in with the dolphins (unless you can get it tucked tightly under the cuff on the sleeve so there's no chance of it falling off)

    I think you should be fine with SPF 30. Recent studies have proven that any SPF above 30 does not make a difference. The only thing that will help is, to apply the sunscreen as often as possible (recommended every hour). The wetsuit will also help to protect from the sun.
    Have fun[8D]

    The wetsuits are great as they help you float.

    Can someone tell me what the bead bracelets are?
