Product FAQs
How do I use my Solar Buddies applicator?
Using your Solar Buddies applicator could not be easier. Simply unscrew the yellow vessel and fill with a sunscreen of choice (follow sunscreen advice in our FAQs)
Screw the head back on and shake contents towards the roller ball to start to use
Does the Solar Buddies applicator come filled with sunscreen?
No. The Solar Buddies are an empty vessel that allows you to fill with a sunscreen of your choice
My sunscreen doesn’t seem to reach the roller ball, can you give any advice?
Sometimes thicker creams will need some help to reach the roller ball. Give your Solar Buddies applicator a good shake (like Ketchup) for the cream to work its way down. You can also undo the container and tap against the head, to help push contents down
How do I clean my Solar Buddies applicaotr?
You should hand wash or use our cleaning sponge using warm water (NOT boiled water), carefully avoiding any harsh scrubbing or soaking. The sponge will need to airdry completely before lid is placed back on. See our video here for a full tutorial
Should I keep my Solar Buddie out of direct sunlight?
Yes. Direct sunlight can cause damage to your Solar Buddie, including fading, discoloration, and deterioration of materials as well as thinning your suncream, which may cause your sunscreen to run faster from the Solar Buddie. You should also keep your sunscreen out of excessive heat and direct sunlight as this may lead to loss of effectiveness of your sunscreen so you will need to keep your Solar Buddie and sunscreen in a cool shaded area to avoid this. Our cool bags are the perfect add on to keep your Buddie cool.
