About Us
Solbari was born from personal experience and is proudly Australian. Our Founder & CEO, Johanna Young, witnessed the devastating impact of skin cancer and melanoma through her family's experience and her volunteer work with charitable organizations like the Cancer Council.
Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer globally, with 2 in 3 Australians diagnosed by age 70 and 1 in 5 in the USA. And yet, many don’t realize that skin cancer is largely preventable and that a regular white cotton t-shirt may only offer as little protection as SPF 5.
Frustrated by the lack of stylish, breathable, sun-safe clothing, Johanna launched Solbari to fill the gap. Every product is made from UPF 50+ rated fabric, has the highest sun protection available, and has been rigorously tested to perform under Australia’s harshest conditions.
Since 2014, we’ve protected over 800,000 customers in 160 countries.
Our purpose goes beyond clothing and sun hats. It's grounded in our bold vision: to end skin cancer in our lifetime.
