Putting sunscreen on squirmy kiddos is a job for superheroes and their trusty sidekicks. Good thing that superhero is you. And that sidekick is a Solar Buddie. (Capes, not required.)

Solar Buddies are sunscreen applicators that can be filled (and re-filled over and over!) with your choice of sunscreen. Made by moms, Solar Buddies are mess-free and easy to use. No more sunscreen hands, excess globs of lotion, or sprays into the ether. (Woot-woot!) Simply twist off the top, shake, and roll sunscreen onto skin. There's a sponge ring around the roller ball that helps apply just the right amount of lotion.

Bigger kids will enjoy putting sunscreen on themselves with this handy gadget, but stay nearby to ensure they're totally covered. (Pro tip: If sunscreen gets clogged over time, just wash the head with warm water and let it air dry.)

So whether you're heading to the park or the pool, the backyard or the beach... don't forget to bring your new "buddie" along.

  • It works great & I love the idea of it. Definitely makes it way easier to apply. HOWEVER, I hate that it wastes so much sunblock. Which is extra annoying if you buy the expensive kind. Jul 07, 2024

  • This is a great product. It makes applying higher spf, which is usually much thicker, so much easier. Smaller size is great for face and bigger is great for legs/body Apr 30, 2024

  • I’m not sure how I feel about this. It seemed like such a convenient idea, however I find myself still having to rub in the lotion which defeats the reason I bought it. Maybe better for older kiddos? Dec 24, 2023

  • My kids love being able to sunscreen themselves are there is no longer a big fight about putting on sunscreen. Jul 17, 2023

  • This is a life saver! No more oily slick hands after putting sunblock on the kiddos Jul 03, 2023

  • I am a huge fan of our Solar Buddies sunscreen applicator! I use it on my whole family of 4, and it made our last beach vacation hassle free. Fast, easy, mess free application- you need this! Apr 05, 2023

  • No more sticky hands! This made applying sunscreen to my little red headed babe soo easy. Went on smoothly & evenly , provided good coverage & the best part my hands stayed clean! A summer must have Mar 08, 2023

  • Obsessed with this! Sunscreen goes on great and doesn't get on our hands. Jul 15, 2022

    The concept of this is great, but the execution makes it cumbersome. You really have to rub the sunscreen in, and I find it takes much longer than just putting some on your hands and slathering it in. Jul 14, 2021
