One capsule. All day.

A single dose of waterless SPF, sealed in a shell that dissolves in your hands. No bottle, no white cast, no residue.

01The filters

The last UV filter the FDA approved was cleared close to fifty years ago. Most American sunscreen still relies on the same ingredients your parents wore.

Since then the science has moved on. A generation of newer organic filters offers broader protection and more stability in sunlight. Europe approved them. Asia approved them. The United States never did.

SOLA is built on what the rest of the world already trusts. The same chemistry that lets us leave the banned filters out is what makes the formula worth wearing in the first place.

02The capsule

Concentrated and waterless

Everything, nothing wasted.

Each capsule holds a single dose of concentrated SPF with no water and no filler, enough to cover the face. You twist it open and the formula is all that's left.

The shell is biodegradable and dissolves on contact, leaving nothing behind in the ocean or on the ground. The finish is a soft golden shimmer that reads as skin rather than sunscreen.

01

Concentrated

A pure waterless SPF formula pressed into one single-dose capsule, sized for full face coverage.

02

Biodegradable

The shell dissolves in your hands and leaves nothing behind, on the earth or in the water.

03

Luminous

A golden shimmer that catches the light the way skin does. Protection you can see only as glow.

03The ritual

Protection should be a pleasure, not a task. Three movements, a few seconds.

01

Twist

Twist the tail of a single golden capsule. The biodegradable shell opens at once.

02

Press

Press the concentrated formula into skin. It warms on contact and absorbs in seconds.

03

Glow

A luminous golden finish with no white cast and no residue. Just protection that disappears.

It started with a question

What if you actually wanted to wear it?

In Europe, our formulation partner spent years engineering a waterless SPF that could survive inside a biodegradable capsule, where every earlier attempt had failed. The shell had to dissolve while the formula stayed intact, and it took dozens of iterations to hold.

That formula is the work SOLA carries forward, developed in Europe and protected by three patents on the composition and the delivery system. It was built for people who believe sun protection can be as considered as everything else they put on their skin.
