We are very proud at Solmates HQ! Our Refillable Sunscreen Applicators have been announced as a SILVER WINNER in the Clean + Conscious Awards. The Awards celebrate the best clean and conscious products in Australia and New Zealand and ince its launch six years ago, they have set the gold standard for recognising products that are clean, ethical, sustainable and responsible.
Competing in the Home: Outdoor Living category, the judges had some wonderful things to say about our little Solmate.
“Wow! I’ve not really seen anything like the Solmates sunscreen applicator and I wish I’d known about this one sooner! What a great product, I love that it is reusable and you can pop your own sunscreen in when it needs a top up. The colour is great as it doesn’t get easily lost in a bag and the silicone strap attached to the applicator makes it easy to attach to your bag or pram. The roller ball is amazing and helps to distribute the sunscreen evenly on the skin for easier application. I am so impressed that they have used ocean bound plastic to create such an amazing product! This product is also Australian made and owned which I love as this gives many locals employment opportunities”.

“The Solmates Refillable Sunscreen Applicator is perfect for helping kids apply sunscreen. My son has already claimed it as his, as the roller ball applicator is his preferred sunscreen application method. I love that you can choose your own sunscreen to put inside. I also love that the applicator reduces the need for the small single use sunscreen bottles and that the applicator is made in Australia”.

“I like the design of the Solmate, it’s easy to carry around, easy to apply sunscreen and easy to refill. I liked the product’s plastic free packaging and that the company has donated to plastic-free causes. I also like the brand’s commitment to reducing ocean plastic waste., and that the company offers a takeback scheme for recycling.”

Emily Fletcher, Awards Founder and Head of Research and Education, reflects on the Clean + Conscious Awards journey: "Since starting the Awards in 2019, the landscape for clean and conscious products has transformed. Consumers today are more informed and seek out products that align with their values. However, the challenges of greenwashing and misinformation persist. Our Awards play a crucial role in empowering consumers with trustworthy information to make healthier, more responsible choices."
There are so many amazing products highlighted in the Awards and we highly recommend you take a look at them all by visiting Clean and Conscious.
