What are the price and features of the SPF 100 body sunscreen purchased at Boracay Budget Mart?

This sunscreen costs 585 pesos (~$10), and its key feature is the "SPF++ 100" label. A drawback is that its texture is a bit runny, leaving residue between the cap and the bottle.

What are the features of the SPF 65 face sunscreen purchased in Boracay, and what is the user review?

This face sunscreen costs 550 pesos (~$9). When first applied, it leaves a white cast, but it absorbs quickly and disappears. I was satisfied that it wasn't a runny texture, so no residue was left on the cap.

What types of sunscreens are available at Boracay Budget Mart, and what was the total purchase cost?

Besides SPF 100 body sunscreen, SPF 65 face sunscreen, and aloe after-sun cream, Budget Mart also sells children's and spray-type sunscreens. When I purchased one of each of these three products, the total came to 1,570 pesos (~$28).

Boracay Shopping List (Common Picks + My Personal Must-Haves)

When you’re dreaming of a tropical getaway to Boracay, thoughts often turn to pristine beaches and vibrant nightlife. But what about the shopping? Typically, a Boracay shopping list might include:

Hair products (like SunSilk shampoo or Vitress leave-in conditioner)
Noni soap
Snacks (dried mangoes, coconut chips, banana chips, etc.)

Honestly, I’m not a huge shopper when I travel. I’ve found that if I buy too many 'typical' souvenirs, they often sit unused once I get home. It just feels a bit excessive.

So, for my personal Boracay shopping list, I focused on essentials:

Body sunscreen SPF 100
Face sunscreen
After-sun cream

I picked up one of each, and honestly, I regretted not stocking up more! You might think SPF 50 is enough, or even 30 back home, but the sun in Southeast Asia is no joke. My usual sunscreen from home just wasn't cutting it.

I once bought some high-SPF sunscreen (SPF 50 and 75) in India years ago, but it was too old to trust this time around. So, on my recent 2026 trip to Boracay, I decided to buy fresh supplies locally.

I headed straight to Budget Mart, a conveniently located supermarket.

This is it! The SPF 100 sunscreen! It cost 585 Philippine Pesos, which is roughly ~$10. That SPF 100++ rating really made me feel like my skin was protected. The texture isn't amazing, but it gets the job done.

My only complaint is that it's a bit runny, so it tends to leak into the cap, leaving residue. A slightly better cap design would be great!

Next up is the face sunscreen, SPF 65. The price was pretty similar, around 550 Philippine Pesos, which is about ~$9.

I actually really liked this one! At first, I thought the white cast was pretty intense, figuring it was just the price to pay for strong sun protection in such a sunny place. But it absorbs quickly, and the white cast disappears completely, leaving no chalky residue!

Plus, because it's not a runny formula, it doesn't leak into the cap like the body sunscreen, even with the same cap design. Big win!

This is an aloe-infused after-sun product, perfect for cooling down your skin after a long day under the scorching sun. I bought it because the sun was so intense, but honestly, I haven't used it yet! When you're on vacation, you tend to enjoy a beer or two in the evenings, and I always forget to apply it.

There's also a smaller size of the first body sunscreen. It costs 420 Philippine Pesos, which is around ~$7.

You can see the size difference here; the larger one is double the capacity. Since it's for your body, the bigger, more cost-effective option is probably the way to go!

They also have a kids' version. It's the same size as the smaller adult one, and the price is similar (the kids' version is 15 Philippine Pesos more).

There's also a spray-on type, but the price jumps quite a bit for that one! While the spray might be more convenient, I personally feel like slathering it on offers better protection. Just a gut feeling!

For those looking to get a serious tan, they also offer tanning oil. But given how strong the sun is here, I decided to pass on that – I think I'd get too much of a tan!

All in all, I bought one of each type, totaling 1,570 Philippine Pesos. That’s roughly ~$28.

After trying them out in Boracay, I was really impressed. I planned to buy more when I traveled to Bohol next, but unfortunately, they didn't have these specific products at the ICM Mall there. Next time I visit Boracay, I'm definitely stocking up!

So, there you have it – my highly subjective Boracay shopping list, focusing almost entirely on sunscreens! Haha!
