Introducing Solar Buddies

Solar Buddies is the world’s first refillable child-friendly sunscreen applicator, purposefully crafted for children’s use. We were determined to create an applicator that would be family-friendly, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible. With this goal in mind, we chose to develop a refillable applicator, enabling consumers to utilise their favorite sunscreen and easily replenish it as needed. Experience our innovative applicator in action through the videos provided below.

Solar Buddies applicator is refillable and allows you to use a sunscreen of your choice. Now made of 94% recycled plastic and has an antibacterial coating. Also Replacement heads are available.

The shape of the bottle is chunky so it is easier to grip and with its sponge and rollerball partnership it allows for easy coverage with less mess and no waste due to its controlled flow and that means no more messy hands and that’s why it’s so unique.

Our applicator is also a great sun safe teaching tool that allows your children to understand the importance of protecting their skin.

We always recommend adult supervision when your child is applying their own sunscreen to make sure of complete coverage.

*Solar Buddies is a sunscreen applicator tool designed to help apply sunscreen more easily and mess-free. It is not a sunscreen product. You are responsible for choosing a sunscreen that suits your skin type and ensures adequate protection, and for checking that it is compatible with the applicator to achieve even coverage. While our applicator supports effective application, external factors such as sunscreen consistency, skin type, activity level, and environmental conditions may affect performance. Always follow sun safety guidelines, including reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours—or more frequently if needed—and regularly check your skin for full coverage. Clean your Solar Buddies regularly for best results. Use of the product implies acceptance of these terms and personal responsibility for your sun protection.  We strongly advise that you check the sunscreen that you used to ensure it is appropriate and in date and that you apply your sunscreen at all times in accordance with NHS guidance (https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/seasonal-health/sunscreen-and-sun-safety/).*
