Step 2: Restore moisture and smooth post-session tangles.
After you cleanse away salt, sand, and buildup, your hair needs moisture back.
Board Butter™ Conditioner Bar is built for hair that lives in the ocean. It smooths rough texture, helps detangle knots, and restores softness without heaviness.
Same nostalgic coconut surf wax scent.
Clean rinse. No greasy residue.
Designed and tested on the Pacific coast.
Tested through back-to-back dawn patrols and multi-day surf trips.
WHY IT WORKS
Sun exposure dries the hair shaft.

Our Ingredients
Coconut Cleanser
A gentle, coconut-derived cleanser that removes salt, sunscreen, and buildup without drying your hair. Gentle enough for everyday use after long sessions.
Jojoba Oil
A lightweight oil that closely matches your scalp’s natural oils. It helps restore balance after saltwater and sun exposure, adds hydration without heaviness, softens rough ends, calms frizz, and keeps hair feeling healthy even after long days in the ocean.
Shea + Mango Butter
A rich blend of two deeply nourishing butters that melt into your hair for long-lasting moisture. They restore softness after UV and salt damage, smooth frizz, reduce breakage, and help your hair stay protected during back-to-back sessions.
Oat + Baobab Protein
A duo of lightweight, hair-fortifying proteins that help your hair recover from constant exposure to salt and sun. They smooth rough, dry strands, add flexibility so your hair bends instead of snapping, and make post-surf tangles way easier to brush out.
Pro-Vitamin B5
A reliable hydration booster that improves hair’s elasticity — meaning less snapping and breakage. It adds softness, makes hair more resilient, and keeps everything feeling healthy without adding heaviness.
Vitamin E
A natural antioxidant that protects hair from UV exposure and environmental stress. Supports healthy shine and resilience over time.
Coconut Surf Wax Scent
We designed a scent that every surfer knows the moment they smell it. Classic coconut surf wax. The kind of scent that hits you when you unzip your board bag, wax up your board before your best set of the day, or open the car door after a long session.
It captures the nostalgia built into surf culture.
A scent memory built into every bar.
The conditioner bar is amazing!! It glides easily and gives just the right amount of moisture. After my first use along with the Board Butter shampoo it really helped bring my waves back. Definitely a forever customer!
Took this conditioner bar with me on a surf trip to Costa Rica and it seriously saved my hair. Between surfing everyday and humidity my hair usually turns into a tangled dry mess. I used this every day and made it way easier to brush out, and so soft. I came home with my hair still feeling healthy, which never happens. 10/10 would recommend. This is the only hair product I’ll be packing from now on.
Saltwater Cowboy is the real deal. Super clean, all-natural, and every use feels like summer. This isn’t just hair care for surfers…it’s perfect for real life. As a busy mom, I don’t have time for expensive, overhyped products that don’t work. This one does and I color my hair all the time.
My hair feels softer, healthier, and more natural, and the scent is incredible, my bathroom smells like a Tahitian vacation. I also love knowing it’s clean and safe to use for my daughter. No sulfates, parabens, silicones, or microplastics, and it’s ocean-friendly. That alone is impressive but the fact that it actually works makes it even better.
Each shampoo or conditioner bar replaces about 3 bottles of traditional product, with zero plastic. It’s TSA-friendly, easy to travel not just on vaca but to shower at the gym or yoga. It’s perfect size for simple living, just what you need, nothing extra.
Saltwater Cowboy isn’t about trends. It’s about simplicity done right. Honest ingredients, minimal packaging, and that nostalgic surf-wax scent that brings you back to sun-soaked, barefoot beach days. It’s a product you genuinely enjoy using….and one that leaves you feeling good long after.
I’m so happy my friend told me about it. I love it.
Highly recommend. 🌊
This conditioner bar makes my hair feel insanely soft and smooth every time I use it. Before using it, my hair would be a complete rat’s nest after surfing, dry, tangled, and impossible to deal with. Now it detangles easily and feels healthy again. Best part, it smells like coconut surf wax. A little goes a long way, the bar lasts forever, and my hair has never felt this good post-surf.
After spending two years traveling the world chasing swell, the same problem kept showing up: shampoo bottles that ran out too fast, leaked in board bags, or got taken at TSA. I wanted something cleaner, simpler, and made for the reality of surf travel.
Board Butter™ was designed to go wherever the ocean takes you. A solid bar that lasts, won’t spill, and holds up to sun, salt, and daily sessions, without stripping your hair. It’s gentle enough for everyday use, even when you’re in the water constantly.
The scent was intentional, too. Coconut surf wax. That nostalgic smell we all love.
This isn’t just hair care. It’s a travel ritual made for those who chase the swell.
