Born on a sunny afternoon.

We started Sunkissed because protecting little eyes shouldn't mean fighting to keep sunglasses on. So we made a pair kids love — and parents trust.

Our story

It started with a squint

On a bright beach day, our founder watched her toddler squint into the sun — and realized the flimsy toy sunglasses they'd grabbed offered no real protection at all. The 'real' pairs? Too big, too stiff, and gone in five minutes.

So we set out to build the pair we couldn't find: genuine UV400 protection, frames flexible enough to survive a toddler, and colors so fun kids actually ask to wear them.

Why real UV protection matters

Children's eyes are still developing — their lenses are clearer and let in significantly more UV than an adult's. Early protection isn't a luxury; it's eye care.

100%

of UVA & UVB blocked by every Sunkissed lens — that's what UV400 means

~50%

of a person's lifetime UV exposure can happen before age 18

more UV can reach a young child's retina compared to an adult's

What we stand for

Our values

🛡️

Protection first

Every decision starts with one question: does it keep little eyes safer? If not, it doesn't ship.

🎨

Joy by design

Sun safety only works if kids wear it. We obsess over colors and shapes kids genuinely love.

🌱

Built to last

Durable frames and recyclable packaging — because the most sustainable pair is the one that survives.
