OÜR PHILOSOPHY
Created by surfers, hikers, and sun-lovers, our goal is to create a safe and effective barrier from the sun.
The sun is a vital life source and has countless benefits for our health such as increasing our vitamin D, endorphins, regulates our circadian rhythm, and much more. But the sun is strong, and it’s important to always have the right protection for your long days in the sun. After personal and familial encounters with melanoma and skin cancer - we realized that protection from the sun is no joke. simple, safe, and holistic solutions to our health.
We are members of 1% for the planet - 1% of our annual funds are donated carefully to environmental organizations.
Sustainability
Güdlife is created with sustainability at the forefront of our mind. We believe true success comes with creating a brand with a positive ripple. Our original tinted sunscreen is packaged in 100% waste free packaging. Our custom packaging consists of a 100% pure glass jar, and an aluminum screw on lid custom made with no inner plastic. Glass is one of the most recycled—and recyclable—materials in use today. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be endlessly recycled with no loss of quality. Aluminum is one of the most eco-friendly materials due to its ability to be recycled infinitely. We encourage you to reuse this jar when done with the product - please rinse inside and reuse or recycle responsibly to keep the cycle in recycle.

Our fulfillment process is designed to reduce unnecessary packaging, and every Gudlife order ships 100% plastic-free.
While we have not yet completed a formal carbon footprint assessment, we recognize the importance of reducing our environmental impact.

We are also evaluating partnerships with organizations such as We Are Neutral to help offset future carbon emissions.
