Take a look at our frequently asked questions page to find out more on how to care for your Solar Buddies.

How do I use my Solar Buddie?

Using your Solar Buddie could not be easier. Simply unscrew the yellow vessel and fill with a suncreen of choice (follow sunscreen advice in our FAQs).

 

Screw the head back on and shake contents towards the roller ball to start use. See video here.

Do the Solar Buddies come filled with sunscreen?

No. The Solar Buddies are an empty vessel that allows you to fill with a suncreen of your choice.

What sunscreens should I use in my Solar Buddie?

We recommend using an SPF30 or higher for maximum protection. Using creams which have a medium to thick consistency will work best with the Solar Buddies. Refrain from using thin creams or sprays to avoid leakage and waste. Thinner creams do work but just be aware that they can run faster from the roller ball when using.

My sunscreen doesn't seem to reach the roller ball, can you give me any advice?

Sometimes thicker creams will need some help to reach the roller ball. Give you Solar Buddie 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.

Is it safe to decant suncreen from one container to another?

Yes, it's safe to decant sunscreen from one container to another as long as you ensure the original and the new bottle are clean from contaminants however, there are some precautions to consider.

 

Cleanliness: Ensure both bottles are clean. If using a previously used bottle, wash it thoroughly and let it dry completely before transferring the lotion.

 

Avoid Mixing: Do not mix different types of sunscreen, unless you are certain they are compatible. Mixing can affect the efficacy and stability of the product.

 

Expriation Date: Always check the expiration date of the sunscreen. If it's near expiration, it's best not to decant it as the product might not remain effective for much longer.

 

Store the decanted lotion in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent air exposure.

 

There's always a slight risk of contamination when transferring products from one container to another. To minimise this risk, always use clean tools and bottles, and avoid touching the lotion directly with your hands.

 

We recommend only leaving your sunscreen in the Solar Buddie for a maximum of 2 weeks. The bottle holds 100ml, so if used correctly, the container will be empty within this timeframe.

 

Rememeber, the primary goal when decanting any product is to maintain its integrity and effectiveness. Always prioritise cleanliness and proper storage after each use.
