The Sunscreen Step Parents Actually Keep Up With

The best sunscreen is the one you will actually reapply. For most families, that is exactly where SPF falls apart. Here is the simple change that fixes it.

Why we built the biggest brush in sunscreen.

Why we built the biggest brush in sunscreen.

Sol Brush started with a simple frustration: nobody reapplies sunscreen because it is a mess. So we built a brush-on mineral SPF with the largest brush on the market, holding 2 to 3x more powder than a typical brush-on. It goes on in seconds, over makeup, with no white cast, so reapplying actually happens.

We made it for the people we love most, which is why the formula is mineral, Broad Spectrum SPF 50, and Water Resistant (80 minutes), with no chemical filters. Gentle enough for our own families and easy enough to keep within reach all summer long.

How to use it

Priming is the secret

The trick to an even, flawless layer is priming the brush first. Here is the whole routine, in about 10 seconds.

Step 1Slam

Pop the cap, remove the netting, replace cap. With cap on, slam into hard surface ~5 times to push powder through bristles.

Sweep demonstration
Step 2Sweep

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

Step 3Brush

Apply to face, body, and scalp. You'll notice a soft matte finish as the powder goes on. Cover all exposed skin.

The Verdict

Is it worth it? For most families, an easy yes.

  • Broad Spectrum SPF 50, 100% mineral, reef-friendly
