Product Description

Details

Your child will love the idea of being sun smart and applying their own sunscreen with the Solar Buddies Single Sunscreen Applicator!

The Solar Buddies are the world’s 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. Its reusable, so just top up with your own sunscreen and your ready to go.  The best part is, no messy hands as the sponge distributes the sunscreen evenly over your skin.

Please note: Sunscreen is not included, this is an applicator for you to add your own sunscreen in.

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!

We recommend pairing your Solar Buddies Suncreen Applicator with the Babu Everyday Sunscreen sold separately here!

Some other sunscreens that work well with the Solar Buddies Sunscreen Applicator are Moogoo, Cancer Society & Jack and Jill.

Please note the packaging states that their are free stickers included but unfortunately this is old packaging and there are no longer stickers included with the Solar Buddies.

Highlights

  • Easy for kids to use
  • Less mess and waste
  • Encourages sun safety

Materials & Care

Materials

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. 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.

Brand Information
Solar Buddies
Kelli and Laura first had their idea for the child-friendly sunscreen applicator back in 2011 whilst discussing issues they were both encountering, along with other fellow parents, about how they children could apply sunscreen safely and effectively whilst not in their care.They both found out that their children’s school had a ‘No Touch Policies’ in place when it comes to applying sunscreen, which meant the teachers were unable to assist the children in this task. They realised very quickly that this was something they wanted to change and they wanted to make a difference for their children and others.
