You know you should reapply. But...

Sol Brush goes right over makeup, so it's the daily sunscreen you'll actually reapply.

First time with a Sol Brush

Slam, Sweep, Brush

  1. A hand holding a pink Sol Brush upside down over a hard surface by a pool

    Step 1: Slam

    Pop the cap, remove the netting and put the cap back on. With the cap on, slam it on a hard surface about 10 times to push powder through the bristles.

  2. Sunscreen powder sweeping from the brush into a palm

    Step 2: Sweep

    Sweep the brush across your palm. See powder? You are ready. No powder? Slam harder and try again.

  3. Sol Brush sweeping powder onto a leg

    Step 3: Brush

    Sweep over face, body and scalp in light circles, no rubbing. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every 2 hours.

How do I know I put enough on? Build a light layer you can see. If you cannot see any powder on your skin, keep building, and press the brush on instead of waving it.

Why Sol Brush?

Not all sunscreen is created equal

Brush-on SPF is a brilliant idea. We made the brush bigger and packed it with more powder.

    We love our Sol brush!! It's easy with the kids and we reapply way more than we would a traditional sunscreen because we don't have to dread the fight.

    My son would never go in the sun because he literally hates the feel of lotion. Sol Brush intrigued him and was willing to try it and he loved it!! THANK YOU!

    Sol Brush has made getting my ADULT son & hubby so much more willing to reapply sunscreen. It’s so much better than pestering them to reapply lotion or spray.

Before your first Sol Brush

Questions about an order? Email hello@solbrush.com.

How do I get started with my Sol Brush?

Remove the netting from the brush head and put the cap back on. With the cap on, slam it on a hard surface about 10 times to push powder into the bristles. Sweep it across your palm to check, then brush it on. That's it!

How often should I reapply?

At least every 2 hours. After swimming or sweating, reapply after 80 minutes, or right after towel drying.

Is it waterproof?

No sunscreen can be called waterproof. Sol Brush is Water Resistant (80 minutes). Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, and at least every 2 hours.

Can I use it over makeup?

Yes. It works as a setting powder and goes right over a full face, so midday SPF never ruins your look.

Is it safe for babies and kids?

Yes. Sol Brush is kid- and baby-safe: the mineral only formula has no oxybenzone and no octinoxate and sits on top of the skin. For babies under 6 months, ask a doctor.

Will it leave a white cast?

No. The powder blends into all skin tones without a chalky film. Pick Translucent for no color, or a tint for a hint of coverage.

Is it safe to breathe in?

It is brushed onto skin, not sprayed into the air, so it is not a mist the way aerosol sprays are. Brush gently and avoid puffing powder toward the face. For young kids, sweep it onto the face carefully.

Why does my brush look less full than I expected?

The fill is measured by weight, not by how full the barrel looks, and powder settles in shipping. With the cap on, slam it on a hard surface about 10 times and it fluffs right back. All your product is there.

What is your return policy?

Unused brushes with the netting intact can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. Opened brushes get a 30% refund. Read the refund policy for the details.
