Polarized Plant-Based Sunglasses
Protect Your Eyes, Protect The Earth
Enhance Your Adventure. Decrease Your Impact.
Zeal Optics' frames and Ellume Polarized lenses are made from Z-Resin, a plant-based material derived from the castor plant. We process the castor beans into our proprietary Z-Resin material which replaces petroleum-based plastics in our sunglasses. By replacing traditional plastics with Z-Resin, we significantly reduce the amount of CO2 produced during our manufacturing. This is part of our mission to create sunglasses that enhance your time outdoors while working to protect the world around us.
