Sunscreen Applicator – Green– Refillable Roll-on Sponge for Sunscreens & Lotions – For Kids, Adults & Families – Holds 3.4Fl Oz – Perfect for Travel

Applying sunscreen to a fussy 2-year-old and a wriggly 10-year-old has been a battle—until we found the Solar Buddies roll-on sunscreen applicator. This has become our family favorite way to apply sunscreen. What We Love Smooth, even application. The sponge ring around the roller ball helps smooth out the lotion and spreads it evenly. We use our preferred sunscreen lotion, and it glides on easily without streaks or patches. Gentle on skin. The sponge is soft and comfortable on the face—no harsh scrubbing or pulling, which is a big win for our toddler. Easy to refill and convenient size. It’s simple to unscrew the top and fill with any sunscreen or lotion you like. We keep it in our beach bag, ready to go. The 3.4 fl oz capacity is plenty for a full day out. Mess-free and travel friendly. No more sunscreen smeared on our hands or leaking in the bag. The cap seals securely. Kid-friendly design. The chunky shape makes it easy for both kids and adults to grip, and kids even enjoy using it themselves. Things to Consider The cap can sometimes be a little stiff to remove, especially with greasy hands. Very thick sunscreens may not flow as smoothly and may need a shake or tap. You might still need to rub in around the edges (hairline, neck) to make sure coverage is complete. Best to store it out of direct sun, since heat can affect the sunscreen’s consistency. Bottom Line This Solar Buddies applicator has transformed our sunscreen routine. It’s simple, effective, and makes sunscreen time with kids so much easier. No mess, no fuss, and no complaints from the little ones. Highly recommended for families who are tired of the struggle.

I was doubtful. My daughters are of Eastern European descent, and have a skin tone I refer to as "neon white." Despite our best efforts, we each get a couple of sunburns each summer. I thought the best option for us was spray sunscreen, for ease and speed of use. However, now that I've found this device, I have changed my ways. I use the good sunscreen (but it's cheaper in liquid form), and these work like giant crayons. You just color yourself all over. No puddles of gloopy sunscreen all over clothes and towels. No sunscreen spray on your sunglasses. Just full coverage sunscreen, no mess. After we tried one, I went back that same week and ordered three more, so everyone in my family can have their own. Amazing product!

Love this! I had been debating purchasing for a year or two now and got it right before a beach trip earlier this summer. It makes it really easy to apply sunscreen and I can hand it to my kids and not have to worry if they squinting too much out of the bottle or not putting it on evenly. It's easy to throw in a beach bag and never leaked when i was carrying it around. I will say (and this us user error) that It did leak when I left it in my car but that is because obviously heat making the pressure higher and it spewed out a bit. I am able to send it in my kids summer camp bags as well to make sure they stay sun safe. Great product and I will be purchasing more in the future!

I saw this over and over on videos from different YouTube moms. I kept looking at the price, and I just couldn't do it. I am the frugal gal, and I always try to DIY things. But I have four boys 12 and under and we live at a high altitude. We're outside a lot in the summer, so we use a lot of sunscreen. I finally decided to order this, and I feel like it's pretty expensive for what it is. It's not thick plastic, so my biggest worry is that it'll break when dropped. That's a lot of wasted expensive mineral sunscreen, and the loss of what I paid for the buddy. I hope that doesn't happen, because almost $20 for one season of use is not a good deal in my opinion. It would be smart to create a rubberized exterior that is more durable. Pro- It fills easily, holds a good amount. It's portable thanks to the cap. I can use my own sunscreen. Application to the face is so easy. No more sunscreen all over my hands. No more bottles of expensive sunscreen squirted all over by my 4 year old. Con- It does not apply evenly. It is very streaky. You have to turn the applicator to the side and rub the product you've applied around with just the side of the sponge. It applies way too much product if you keep the reservoir above the sponge. Or even if you just try to cover every part of the appendage using the rollerball. This may not be an issue if your sunscreen is thick, but ours is certainly not runny and it's a problem. Overall, this is a better way to apply sunscreen especially to kids. Spray is the easiest, but nearly all of them give you less, cost more, and have nasty chemicals. The sunscreen buddy definitely still needs some improvement.

I got it to use with ThinkKids mineral sunscreen (which is notoriously thick), and WOW—total game-changer. Application is so much easier and cleaner. The sunscreen glides on smoothly with the rollerball, and the sponge blends it in evenly without any mess. No more greasy hands or wasted product from having to wash up afterward. It also makes it way quicker to get sunscreen on my kid, which is a huge win when they’re bouncing around wanting to get in the water. I especially love that I can fill it with the sunscreen I choose (like one that scores well on ingredient apps like Yuka), rather than settling for whatever spray is convenient. Cleaning and refilling is simple, and it's held up great so far. Highly recommend this, especially for mineral sunscreens and anyone with kids who hate sunscreen time!

Please read! This product is amazing for hands free applications of sunscreen and makes it easy for kiddos to help. HOWEVER when applying sunscreen make sure that you go over the skin several times to insure an even amount of coverage is left. You can clearly see in the photo that there are lines in which I was sunburned because there was either little to no coverage even though it was rolled onto the skin.

Delivery was prompt and packaging was appropriate. Saw these advertised elsewhere and thought what a great idea (although the ad was children orientated). They are so easy to use and keep everything and everywhere clean. We went out sailing and so much better to use than bottles as we didn't need to worry about spillages on the deck. So easy to ensure that whole area is covered. Excellent value.

This is a great product. Refillable, so don't feel like I'm creating unnecessary waste. Easy for my kid to open, close, and apply. Definitely recoy

Bei uns war das eincremen der Kinder immer eine Katastrophe. Seid wir den solar buddie haben, wollen unsere Kinder sich selber eincremen und es gibt keine Tränen mehr. Wir nutzen ihn auch im Winter für die normale Bodylotion. Super easy zum befüllen und reinigen. Klare Kaufempfehlung

Tellement pratique pour mettre de la crème solaire à un bébé

Muy útil para evitar la sensación de colocarse bloqueador en las manos, lo cual ayuda para que mi hijo se lo ponga, pero deja una capa muy delgada y resulta insuficiente. La forma como resolvimos fue colocarle un extra de bloqueador directo al roll on para aplicar una capa más gruesa, pero sería muy bueno que permitiera una mayor cantidad de producto y que éste fuera uniforme.
