HAESKN SOLCHECK Turns Blue in Real Time as UV Intensity Rises
Laura McQuarrie — July 15, 2026 — Lifestyle
To complement its swipe-on sunscreen stick and help people stay adequately protected in the sun, HAESKN announced the launch of SOLCHECK, a wearable UV index indicator. This UV-reactive sticker offers an intuitive experience that makes it easy for active individuals and outdoor enthusiasts to make proactive decisions for the sake of protecting their skin. As UV intensity rises, HAESKN SOLCHECK turns blue, encouraging the reapplication of sun care—HAESKN's Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 is a lightweight solution infused with skin-caring rice extract, ginseng and ceramides, designed to go on without a white cast and stay on with 80 minutes of sweat and water resistance.
SOLCHECK's flexible pouch packaging is home compostable, with HAESKN selecting CTK Bio Canada's Earth Edition home compostable packaging technology to deliver a premium experience aligned with its values.
