SOLA

Silky. Weightless. Never sticky.

Formulated by a medical doctor, with care for the people who wear it, for the water, and for the world around it.

US Edition  ·  2027

A single capsule for the face and neck. The formula warms between your fingertips, melts into the skin. Water-free, and sealed one dose at a time.

The US formulaA non-nano mineral SPF 50 made for the United States, with the same capsule ritual and the same feel.

Why two formulas?In the United States, sunscreen is regulated by the FDA as an over-the-counter drug, which limits the UV filters we can use and what we can say about them. So the US Edition is made to the FDA’s rules, with mineral filters.

The capsule
One precisely measured dose.

The capsule

Each day’s dose is sealed without water or plastic, in a shell built to break down and coloured with natural colours.

The carton

All paper, inside and out, finished in gold. Opened like a gift, kept like one.

The editions

one ritual.

A full-body SPF will follow the face capsules, and SOLA skincare is also in development.

Why it matters

Around fourteen thousand tonnes of sunscreen reach the ocean every year.

Most of it lingers on reefs and in the water for years. SOLA leaves out the filters most linked to reef damage.
