Banana Boat is a sunscreen brand of Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE: EPC, Shelton, Connecticut), sold in Canada by its subsidiary Edgewell Personal Care Canada ULC from Mississauga and Milton, Ontario. Sun care is formulated and filled at Edgewell's US plants, principally Dover, Delaware, with Mexican plants serving Latin America; the Ontario sites package and distribute. No grocer listing could be fetched this session: Giant Tiger's Banana Boat collection is empty out of season, and Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart, Superstore, Save-On-Foods and Costco returned bot challenges or empty shells.
Switch: Wholly owned by the US parent Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE: EPC, Shelton, CT); sun care for North America is made at Edgewell's US plants, principally Dover, Delaware.

Edgewell's FY2025 10-K (SEC CIK 1096752) shows a Missouri corporation headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut, listed on the NYSE as EPC, which acquired Banana Boat with Playtex in 2007; control is diffuse, so HQ country and listing venue both allocate to US. Health Canada's Drug Product Database names Edgewell Personal Care Canada ULC of Milton, Ontario as the DIN holder for the marketed Canadian products, and that entity's own supply-chains report calls itself a subsidiary of the US parent. Corporations Canada returned no federal corporation named Edgewell, so the ULC is provincially incorporated; the provincial registry could not be reached this session.

Edgewell's FY2025 10-K says five of its eleven plants are in the US and two are dedicated to Sun and Skin Care, but does not name cities; the last filing with a properties table (FY2014, before the spin) lists three Dover, Delaware facilities, the legacy Playtex sun care site, and current Edgewell job postings still show production and warehouse roles in Dover. The Canadian subsidiary's report says sun care is made primarily in the United States and Mexico, and Canada's only plant, Hanover, Ontario, is described as a packaging plant, so no formulation is counted as Canadian. The US and Mexico split for Canadian-market SKUs is an estimate; no Canadian label or origin statement was fetched.

Edgewell Canada reports about 150 employees across its Mississauga office, Milton distribution centre and Hanover packaging plant, serving all Edgewell brands in Canada, while the parent's 10-K counts about 6,700 employees with 2,000 in the US and says global procurement, supply chain, operations, legal and HR are based largely in the US. Brand management, R&D and plant labour for Banana Boat sit in the US, so the split favours US; the 30/70 weighting is an estimate.

No sourcing breakdown by country was published. The 10-K and the Canadian supply-chains report list organic and inorganic chemicals, plastic resins and plastic packaging sourced on a regional or global basis; for a US-filled sunscreen the resins and packaging are assumed North American while UV filters and emollients come from European and Asian chemical suppliers. This is an estimate.
