How it all began

Founded in 2011 by Kelli and Laura, Solar Buddies Ltd was born from their shared concern for children's sun safety. Confronted with
the challenge of ensuring their children could apply sunscreen independently within strict school policies, they created the Solar
Buddies Sunscreen Applicator. This innovative product quickly resonated with parents and caregivers, addressing the widespread
need for safer sun protection solutions.

Understanding the struggles of ensuring thorough sun protection for their children, Kelli and Laura designed a user-friendly applicator
to make sunscreen application effortless and enjoyable. Now with a vibrant colour selection and a refillable system, an easy, less
messy method of application, their product aims to transform sun protection routines into engaging experiences, fostering lifelong
habits of sun safety.

Planet Friendly Choices

Kelli and Laura are dedicated to becoming a more
sustainable business and now have transitioned to 94%
recycled plastic for their sunscreen applicators and are
minimizing their packaging waste. As a brand, they advocate
for sun safety education and planet-conscious choices,
offering a reusable alternative to traditional sunscreen
packaging to reduce ecological footprint and inspire
conscious consumerism.

Dragons' Den

Their award-winning product has been featured on TV screens around the world, with the more recent appearance on Dragons' Den which was successful with an investment from Peter Jones and Deborah Meadon.

We welcome both Peter and Deborah into the Solar Buddies team and are truly thankful for the wonderful support they bring to the
business.
