About & Mission

 

Founded in 2017 by licensed esthetician Jen Podany, Bluestone Sunshields was created with a vision to redefine sun protection. What began as a solution for patients healing from advanced skincare treatments has evolved into a global brand trusted by medical professionals, beauty experts, and everyday sun lovers alike.

​

At its core, Bluestone Sunshields is built on the belief that healing skin deserves thoughtful protection, elevated design, and personal privacy. Each design delivers clinically tested, UPF 50+ sun protection through a physical UV barrier that covers more of the face than traditional sunglasses—without touching the skin.

​

Our signature philosophy of Privacy + Sun Protection pairs dermatologist-level defense with modern luxury, empowering you to recover, recharge, and move through the world beautifully and confidently under the sun.

​

Bluestone Sunshields have been recognized by leading media outlets including Vogue, Oprah Daily, The Wall Street Journal, and InStyle, and have earned industry honors such as the Well+Good SPF Innovation Award and the NewBeauty Innovation Award: Beauty Tool of the Year.

​

From post-procedure recovery to everyday adventures, Bluestone Sunshields exists to help people feel comfortable, confident, and protected in their own skin—wherever the sun takes them.

​

Our Symbol | A Fun Fact

The Bluestone Sunshields logo is inspired by the ancient Stonehenge sun calendar, a monument built to track and honor the movement of the sun. Just as Stonehenge was designed to align human life with sunlight, our logo symbolizes the balance between sun exposure and protection.

​

The name Bluestone comes from the historic bluestones used in the construction of Stonehenge—reflecting strength, intention, and alignment. This symbolism is central to the Bluestone Sunshields philosophy: celebrating the power of the sun while thoughtfully shielding skin from its harmful effects.
