Hampton Sun, Smart Serious Sunbathing

Hampton Sun

The Hampton Sun Vision

As co-founders of Hampton Sun, we wanted to create something very special—bringing the glamour back into sunbathing.

After studying a basket full of different types of suntan products by the pool one day, we wanted to create something that was completely different. It had to be natural, feel light, silky, clean and rejuvenating, contain the most powerful antioxidants along with vitamins A through E and provide UVA/UVB protection to help reduce premature signs of aging. Having achieved this, the line also had to have a complete spectrum of SPF protection for all skin types, be hypo-allergenic and dermatologically tested for safety. After working with a highly experienced chemist for over a year perfecting the formulas, we finally achieved our goal.

We hope you enjoy the line as much as we enjoy it with our friends in the Hamptons… remember, be Smart and be Serious about the sun protection you choose, that’s Smart Serious Sunbathing.

See you on the beaches,

Salvatore & Grant,

Co-founders and residents of Manhattan and Southampton, NY.

About the Team

Salvatore Piazzolla
President/Owner - Salvatore Piazzolla, a Southampton, New York Native had a vision. He wanted to push the envelope for sun care and create a brand that would be unique and luxurious to bring the glamour back into sunbathing. Along with his partner, Grant Wilfley, he did just that.

Salvatore’s background in real estate gave him no prior experience in the beauty industry. Long hours of researching and brainstorming along with dedication and self-determination led him to finally launch a sun care and skincare line that would shock leaders in the industry. Hampton Sun’s advanced formulations are unlike any other providing the best ingredients a product has to offer. With a combination of natural and organic oils, Salvatore was able to achieve what so many have longed for, a healthy way to get back under the suns rays worry- free. Now that’s Smart Serious Sunbathing.

Grant Wilfley
Vice President - Grant Wilfley is no stranger to the New York scene. As a native New Yorker himself and the President and Owner of Grant Wilfley Casting, a prestigious and well known film and television casting company in the city, the past 18 years have been a huge success for him, but nothing was too much for Grant.

A Hampton’s resident since the late 1980’s, his circle of friends only grew. After meeting Salvatore Piazzolla seven years ago and discussing a concept, a partnership for a sun care line seemed inevitable. One sunny afternoon as he was sitting by the pool with Salvatore, Michael Kors, and a few other good friends, an idea was born. Grant takes part in the creative aspect of Hampton Sun, researching the newest ideas on the market and incorporating them into Hampton Sun’s products. When he’s not working two jobs, you will find him relaxing on the beach and catching up with old friends.
