Polarized Plant-Based Sunglasses

Protect Your Eyes, Protect The Earth

Enhance Your Adventure. Decrease Your Impact.

Most Zeal Optics frames are made from Z-Resin, a plant-based material derived from the castor plant (Z-Lite/Z-Resin frames contain a minimum of 45% bio-resin). 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.
