Solmates: Refillable Sunscreen Applicators for Life on the Go
Solmates are compact, refillable sunscreen applicators designed to make carrying and applying SPF easier. Fill your Solmate with a compatible cream or lotion sunscreen you already know and like, then take it with you to the beach, on holiday, to sports or wherever the day takes you.
With a 50 ml capacity, a removable base for easy refilling and a mess-free roll-on ball, Solmates are designed to keep sunscreen within easy reach when you are away from home.
Why Choose Solmates?
Refillable
Fill your Solmate with a compatible cream or lotion sunscreen you already know and like, rather than relying on a single-use bottle.
Compact
The 50 ml format is easy to carry in a beach bag, sports bag, handbag or luggage when you are out and about.
Less Mess
The roll-on ball helps you apply sunscreen without covering your hands in SPF, making reapplication more convenient.
How Does a Solmate Work?
Fill
Remove the base and fill the internal container with a compatible cream or lotion sunscreen according to the product instructions.
Roll
Use the roll-on ball to apply sunscreen across the skin without covering your hands in SPF.
Reapply
Reapply your sunscreen according to the instructions on the sunscreen, especially after swimming, sweating or towel drying.
Which Sunscreen Can You Use with Solmates?
Solmates are designed to work best with cream and lotion-based sunscreens. Some mineral and zinc-based sunscreens can also work, although very thick formulas may be more difficult to dispense through the roll-on ball.
Solmates are not suitable for liquid sprays or very thin, runny sunscreens. Heat can also change the consistency of sunscreen and make it temporarily thinner, which may increase the risk of leakage.
For the most reliable experience, use a sunscreen with a suitable cream or lotion consistency and follow the instructions for your specific sunscreen and Solmate.
Solmates for Beach Days, Travel & Everyday Adventures
The compact format makes Solmates particularly useful when you want sunscreen within easy reach without carrying a larger bottle. Keep one in your beach bag, sports bag or luggage for holidays, outdoor activities and sunny days on the go.
Each Solmate has a convenient tether so you can attach it to a bag and keep your sunscreen close at hand.
Made with Certified Ocean Bound Plastic
Solmates are made with certified Ocean Bound plastic. The recycled material also means that individual applicators can vary slightly in colour and finish, making each Solmate unique.
Choosing a refillable applicator also allows you to carry sunscreen from a larger bottle rather than relying on a separate small sunscreen container every time you go out.
Easy to Refill & Clean
The removable base makes Solmates easy to refill, while the applicator is designed to be cleaned between uses. Regular cleaning helps keep your reusable sunscreen applicator ready for your next SPF routine.

Make Sun Protection Easier
Solmates are an application tool, not a sunscreen product. The SPF protection comes from the sunscreen you choose to use with the applicator. Always follow the sunscreen manufacturer's instructions for application, amount and reapplication.
