From Outer Banks Sunburns to Sol Aid: The Story of Two Brothers on a Mission

Growing up on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, Aaron and Isaac Jacobson spent their summers surfing, fishing, and witnessing the same painful sight year after year—tourists with blistering sunburns, slathering on aloe gel that barely took the edge off. They knew there had to be something better.

Rather than searching for Blackbeard’s lost treasure, the brothers embarked on a different kind of quest: creating a real solution for sunburn relief. After experimenting with countless natural ingredients, they discovered the power of apple cider vinegar (ACV) combined with soothing oils. This unique formula not only cools the skin but also helps restore its natural balance, promoting faster recovery.

The result? Sol Aid—a simple, effective sunburn relief spray born from the Outer Banks and built on the belief that nature holds the best remedies. Some might wrinkle their noses at the ACV scent, but those who’ve experienced the deep, relentless itch of a bad burn know that real relief is worth it.

Aaron and Isaac didn’t just set out to create another after-sun product—they set out to make one that soothes sunburned skin instead of irritating it, and most importantly, one that actually works. And like the Outer Banks itself, the best thing about Sol Aid is how natural it is.
