project overview
project overview
Sunsol is a sun safety brand designed to make sunscreen application engaging, educational, and memorable for families and Generation Alpha. Inspired by personal experiences with sun exposure and supported by extensive research into skincare habits, sustainability, and UV awareness, the project reimagines how children interact with sun protection.
At the heart of the brand is Sunsol Sticky, a range of UV-detecting stickers printed with custom Sunsol characters that change colour in sunlight, reminding users when it's time to reapply sunscreen. By combining playful design, product innovation, and sustainable thinking, Sunsol transforms an everyday health habit into an interactive experience while promoting long-term sun-safe behaviour.

The Challenge
The Challenge
The sunscreen market is saturated with products that focus heavily on performance and protection but often struggle to create meaningful engagement with younger audiences. Sunsol was created to explore how branding and product design could encourage children and families to develop long-term sun-safe behaviours.

The Solution
The Solution
Rather than relying solely on traditional packaging and advertising, Sunsol introduces UV-reactive stickers as an educational tool. Printed with custom character illustrations, the stickers create a playful interaction that helps children understand UV exposure while providing a practical reminder to reapply sunscreen.
