At Sunshine + Saltwater, we believe that loving the beach means protecting it. Every product we create, every material we use, and every decision we make is rooted in sustainability—because the ocean deserves it. From plastic-free packaging to sustainable apparel choices, we take pride in running an eco-conscious business that brings the beach to you without harming the very places we cherish.

♻️ Plastic-Free, Planet-Friendly Packaging
The packaging we choose is just as important as the products inside. That’s why we’ve made a conscious decision to eliminate plastic wherever possible:
✅ Glass Bottles & Wooden Tops – Our room sprays, reed diffusers, and car diffusers are housed in glass containers with sustainably sourced wooden tops—never plastic.
✅ Reusable & Biodegradable Packing Materials – Every order is packed with care using recycled materials whenever possible. We prioritize paper-based, biodegradable packaging over plastic, ensuring a lighter footprint on our planet.
✅ Minimal Waste – We keep our packaging simple and free of excess materials. No unnecessary plastic fillers—just thoughtfully chosen, recyclable, and compostable solutions.
Sustainable Printing: Thoughtfully Created, Minimizing Waste
At Sunshine + Saltwater, we print each piece ourselves, embracing short-run, on-demand printing to minimize waste.
🌱 Unlike mass production, where unsold items end up in landfills, we ensure that every apparel and home goods piece is created with intention. This method allows us to reduce excess inventory, lower our carbon footprint, and ensure that each item gets the love it deserves.
When you wear our designs, you’re not just embracing coastal vibes—you’re supporting a sustainable way of creating apparel and home goods.
🌿 EcoBase™ Diffuser Solution: Clean, Safe, & Sustainable

🌿 Phthalate-Free Fragrance Oils – We carefully choose clean, phthalate-free fragrance oils to ensure the safest and highest-quality scents for your space.
