    Solar Buddies Refillable Sunscreen Applicators

    Sunscreen is an everyday essential for Kiwi families, but applying it to wriggly little ones isn’t always easy. Solar Buddies offers a clever way to make the process less messy with reusable sunscreen applicators designed for children and adults.

    Simply fill your Solar Buddie Sunscreen Applicator with a suitable sunscreen, then use the roller ball and sponge applicator to dispense and spread the product across the skin.

    A Reusable Way to Apply Sunscreen

    Rather than containing sunscreen itself, Solar Buddies are refillable applicators. This means you can continue using the sunscreen that works for your family while changing the way you apply it.

    The compact design is easy to hold and convenient to keep alongside your Kids’ Sun Protection essentials for daycare, school, holidays and outdoor adventures.

    Solar Buddies can also encourage older children to become more involved in their sun protection routine. Younger children will still need an adult to ensure sunscreen is applied thoroughly and evenly.

    How Do Solar Buddies Work?

    Remove the applicator head, add your chosen sunscreen and securely replace the top. The roller ball dispenses sunscreen while the surrounding sponge helps spread it across the skin.

    Always check that enough sunscreen has been applied to achieve the protection stated on your sunscreen label. Solar Buddies changes the application method, but doesn’t change the directions, SPF or recommended amount of the sunscreen inside.
