🌿 What we won't pretend.
- These are not compostable in your backyard. The 55.8% biodegradation result was measured under industrial composting conditions (58°C, ISO 14855).
- Polarized lenses can show rainbow patterns on some LCD car dashboards and phone screens. That's physics, not a defect.
- Frame fit is personal. Please review the size chart before ordering.
