Getting children to wear sunscreen can be a challenge. They squirm and squeal if you try to apply it and if you ask them to put it on themselves, they can end up in a sticky mess.

This inspired British mums Kelli Aspland and Laura Waters to come up with the world’s first child-friendly refillable sunscreen applicator. As featured on Dragon’s Den, Solar Buddies has been designed to be easy for children to use. All you do is unscrew the head, fill it with sunscreen, pop the lid back on and the kids can do the rest.
