All our sunglasses are made from BPA-free, non-toxic materials*, which are durable, lightweight, and flexible. They are safe for kids and babies to wear, hold, bend, and bite or chew on.
Our sunglasses also come with polarised, shatterproof, and 100% UV-400 protected lenses to keep little eyes safe.
* For those super brainy parents, the material is Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
Yes.
Children's eyes are more susceptible to UV damage due to their thinner lens and larger pupils, allowing more light to enter the eye. These filters grow over time, and our eyes are a lot stronger by adulthood, but until they are approximately 8-9 years old, kids have no filters in the eye to block out UV light. So good quality eyewear is very helpful.

You would clean these the exact same way as you would clean your own pair of sunglasses. Use a soft microfiber cloth and mild soap with lukewarm water—avoid harsh chemicals to prevent lens damage.
While they are high-quality and durable, they are not completely scratch-proof—proper care will extend their lifespan.
