The Bakslap Story

Born from love. Built to care.

Play Video

"G’day, I’m Raph; keen Aussie surfer and lover of the great outdoors. It was the tragic loss of my beautiful sister Tess to melanoma skin cancer at age 31, that inspired me to create Bakslap."

"Our lotion applicator solves the problem of trying to apply lotion to hard to reach places...like the middle of your back! Originally conceived to enhance sun protection, the Bakslap has evolved into a multipurpose tool. Its versatility includes skin care lotion application and exfoliation, making it a perfect accessory for your shower routine. Today, it is trusted and utilised across various sectors, including hospitals, dermatology, aged care, sun care and beauty."

From a simple idea to a tool that’s helping people of all ages care for their skin — Bakslap has always been about more than just lotion. Learn how it all started."

New Project: Custom Partner Packs

From 2024 to 2026, we’re proud to collaborate with Cricks Volkswagen on a unique initiative — every new VW comes with a custom-designed gift pack celebrating sun safety and outdoor care. This project is a tribute to both Tess and Finny (a Cricks team member), who lost their lives to melanoma.

If your brand is interested in co-branded or custom packaging opportunities, we’d love to chat. Let’s explore how we can tailor a solution to suit your customers too.

Spreading The Message

Bakslap proudly partnered with Cricks Volkswagen to launch a brand new Volkswagen Caddy Van, wrapped with our bold branding and message. This mobile activation is designed to help spread awareness about skin protection and healthy routines across the country — one stop at a time. It’s a powerful example of how two local brands can join forces for a shared cause, making a positive impact all year round.

“The initiative with Australia’s Biggest Bakslap takes the sun safety message all over the country, showing where a simple idea can take you. And for Raph and his team, we know the new Volkswagen Caddy will help make the journey they are on even easier,”

— Dean Stuart, Dealer Principal

Collaboration with Amazon Australia

In 2022, our team were honoured to feature on the cover of Amazon Australia’s first SMB report. It detailed how we and others, are harnessing the power of online stores and export opportunities.

“Starting to export our products was about far more than an increase in customer base and revenue, it was about spreading our brand message further than just Australia, to as many people as possible around the world. Amazon allows us to effectively achieve this, which is why we jumped at the opportunity to join.” – says Raph

This video was created as part of the collaboration to help share our story.
