Sol de Ibiza

Sol de Ibiza

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE IDEA FOR SOL DE IBIZA?

The journey to create Sol de Ibiza began with love. Love for the sparkling mediterranean sea. Love for nature that graces our beautiful island. Love for each other, for our children's health. Love for ourselves and the skin we live in. Looking around we couldn’t find a product to protect what we loved, so we decided to create it.

A sun protection that is nourishing and protective for the skin while at the same time being gentle on the earth. We believe that it is impossible to think only about protecting ourselves and not the environment, as the two things are inextricably linked.

 

 

 

 

HOW HAS THE BRAND EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS?

Sol de Ibiza is in continual evolution. We don’t stop on one solution because it is comfortable but change with the latest research and ideas. We believe that this is the essence of creativity and essential for us as a company. It is also fundamental we constantly grow and update our ideas for our customers to have the best ecological sun protection possible. For example, last year we swapped our aluminum container for a more durable, and recyclable metal tin. We understand that small changes can have a big environmental impact.

 

 

 

 

WHY SOL DE IBIZA?

We wanted a name that would capture all of the things we love about this island, and we realized the sun is at the heart of everything. It is the beat Ibiza dances to, the rhythm that shapes its days. 

 

 

 

 

 

WHO IS BEHIND THE BRAND?

We are an international collective  of like- minded souls that have gathered in Ibiza from all across the world.We all come from different backgrounds, but are united in our love for the environment and our will to make a positive difference.

 

 

 

 

WHAT IS THE CREATIVE PROCESS BEHIND THE PRODUCT?

Our creative process starts by imagining the perfect world, in which products we create for human benefit exist in harmony with the earth.  We base all of our product development on the interconnecting ideas of zero waste and circular economy. For a product to be zero waste its packaging will either be non-existent, reusable or composable. This is a real challenge for cosmetic products and especially sunscreens! Sunscreens are more than just cosmetics; they provide protection against harmful UV rays  and must be stable and safe for consumers. We are constantly searching for new and innovative ways to do this. Sometimes this means completely discarding old ideas. For example, we have created our sunscreen in a solid waterless form that is also fragrance and preservative free. This solid form allows our sunscreen to be extremely stable and resistant, allowing it to be packaged in cardboard or tin plate steel. Our sunscreen is a big departure from what many people traditionally think of as sunscreen. That is a perfumed, runny white liquid in a plastic tube. However, many people are fed up with the health and ecological damage these traditional products create and are ready to embrace change.
