Plant-based sunglasses built for life outdoors.
Our Mission Towards Sustainability
Our mission is to create sunglasses that enhance your time outdoors while working to protect the world around us. In our commitment to reduce environmental impacts, we use renewable resources in the manufacturing of our sunglass frames and lenses - reducing the use of fossil fuels.

Clarity
See the world more clearly with Ellume Polarized. While other lenses are made from petroleum-based materials, Ellume Polarized uses a unique plant-based polymer as the bonding agent to deliver a high-purity lens for cleaner, crisper vision.
Contrast
Reflected light and UV exposure can cause glare, eye fatigue, and sensitivity, all of which disrupt your view of the world around you. Ellume Polarized eliminates 99.9% of glare and blocks 100% of harmful UVA/B/C rays, protecting against the risk of long-term damage to your eyes from the sun’s harsh rays.
Color
Ellume Polarized is built to control specific wavelengths of visible light by reducing harmful high-energy blue light (HEV). This process eliminates color confusion so you see the colors of the spectrum more vividly and with greater depth perception.

Z-Resin
Our plant-based frame material.
Z-Resin is derived from the castor plant and replaces the use of traditional plastics in our sunglass frames and Ellume Polarized lenses. The use of Z-Resin significantly reduces the amount of C02 produced during manufacturing.
