Discovery Cove suntan lotion

[Gems09]

We used it because they said normal would hurt the animals. You could actually see a film of "oil" on the top of the lagoon where you snorkel with the rays and fish and I the rays were getting stood on when they came up in the shallow area. It just made my conscience and my heart pang because although it was one of our best days, after the orca scandal plus seeing this and thinking about the animals, it made us decide to give it a miss this time around.

My son had really bad eczema and allergic to paracetamol. We used the sun cream they provide because it's kind to the animals and it was wonderful on his skin! It's called panama jack I think so maybe you could try and get some before to try on your son in a controlled environment?

The cream they use IMO is horrible, really thick and takes ages to rub in.

You are supposed to use theirs, but if it's for medical reasons they are ok if you don't. I would imagine if everyone decided to use their own then it would cause a problem.

When we applied it ( bit like smothering yourself in sudocrem) we were told it was more dolphin friendly xx

i was also wondering this as my sun has allergies especially to well known suncreams and has eczema we get ours from hospital, so good to know although like others have said if it is to protect the dolphins surly it is kind on the skin and less chemicals. just cant wait to get there now
