The Solar Buddies are the worlds first child-friendly, refillable sunscreen applicators. Apply sunscreen the easy way, with less mess and no waste. Not just for kids, adults including tradies and sportspeople love it too as no sunscreen gets on your hands.

Your toddler will think this is the best invention since solid food! The Solar Buddies Sun Cream Applicator will make putting on sun cream a fun task before outdoor adventures.

It is simple for children to apply on their own, making it ideal for holiday’s, day trips, nursery or school. And because it’s compact and lightweight, kids can easily carry it around in their a little day packs and school bags.The best part is, there’ll be no messy hands, as the sponge distributes the sunscreen evenly over your skin.

It’s also reusable, so just top up with your own sunscreen and you’re ready to go.

One Sunscreen Applicator

To use, simply unscrew the head, fill with your favourite sunscreen, pop the lid back on and youre good to go! It really is that simple!

Solar Buddies work with most sunscreens. We advise not to use oily or watery type sunscreens (e.g Sprays and Nivea brand) as they can leak. For us conventional sunscreens from squeezy bottles work best. Thicker creams can work but may need a little help getting to a roller ball. Try the ‘ketchup shake’ to help it out. Don’t forget to wash the sponge frequently with warm soapy water and if you are not planning on using for a while clean it all out!

Important information

The lifespan of the heads depends on how it is used and cared for. We recommend the Solar Buddies are cleaned after the vessel becomes empty(see this article for more information why it is important to clean your Solar Buddie). The heads need to be washed on a more regular basis to stop the head becoming clogged with sunscreen. Do not leave the Solar Buddie in direct sunlight or temperatures that exceed 30C. If in extreme heat keep your Solar Buddies in a shaded place. Do not use sunscreens high in alcohol as this can affect the adhesive. If all directions are followed the Solar Buddies can last in excess of 6-8 weeks. We have always managed to get 3-4 months out of each sponge caring for the solar buddie as directed. Sponges can be purchased separately.
