Salt & Shade

Our Story

The dermatologist-founded answer for people who live beautifully outside.

Salt & Shade is shaped by what Dr. Taylor Bullock, MD, FAAD sees as a board-certified dermatologist: visible sun damage on hands, arms, and necks, and patient after patient looking for sun protection that feels easier than reapplying sunscreen all day.

The idea is simple: make the kind of quarter-zip people already reach for, then design it with sun, heat, hands, neck coverage, and long outdoor days in mind.

Brand principles

Premium apparel with a dermatologist's point of view.

Desirable first.

Salt & Shade reads as a refined warm-weather layer with serious sun protection built into the details.

Credible where it counts.

The collar, sleeve length, and thumb-hole direction are there because hands, forearms, and necks are where preventable sun damage keeps appearing.

Made for real outdoor life.

Errands, commutes, travel, outdoor dining, school pickup, resort mornings, golf, and boating shaped the brand more than a clinical sunscreen aisle.

The garment

The quarter-zip, rebuilt for serious sun.

The quarter-zip already belongs in daily life: over a tennis skirt, with golf pants, on a boat, through an airport, at lunch outside, or in the car on a bright afternoon. Salt & Shade makes that familiar silhouette work harder for the hands, arms, and neck.

The result is a sun-conscious layer that feels polished first and protective by design.
