Solar Buddies

Love sun protection, but not the sticky-icky feeling on your hands? Designed in the UK, and featured on dragons den, Solar Buddies creates a roll on sunscreen applicator that gently rubs in sunscreen (or do you call it sun cream?) without the mess. Simply fill with your favourite sunscreen to get started.

At Mini Hippo, we stock Solar Buddies in a range of colours and for all ages. It comfortably holds 100ml of sunscreen. The Solar Buddy is better in plural just like it's name, so we now stock two packs in a mix of colours. Replacement heads are also available to make your Solar Buddies last even longer.
