Overview
Panama Jack 4608 is an SPF 8 tanning lotion sold as a two-pack of 5.5 ounce bottles with a flip-cap dispenser, orange scent and 80 minute water resistance, positioned for deepening a tan rather than blocking sun exposure.
The seller's own listing copy is inconsistent, at points citing SPF 8 and elsewhere describing minimal sunscreen language tied to SPF 4, so the attribute field and title figure of SPF 8 is what this description follows. Either way, the seller's own text notes this SPF level does not fully guard against sunburn.
- Item form: lotion
- SPF: 8
- Scent: orange
- Pack of 2, 5.5 oz each
Who it's for
People who tan intentionally and want a low SPF lotion with moisturizing oils fit this listing. It is not a match for sunbathers who need meaningful UV protection.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Water resistant for 80 minutes
- Flip-cap bottle for easy application
- Free of gluten, parabens, PABA and dyes
- SPF 8 is low, and the seller's own copy says it does not fully protect against sunburn
- Sold only as a two-pack
Performance notes
SPF 8 sits well below the broad-spectrum SPF 15 and higher that dermatology guidance generally recommends, and the seller's own text acknowledges this lotion offers minimal sun protection. Its role is a tanning aid with an orange scent and moisturizing oils, rated water resistant for 80 minutes.
