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.
I found this product in a little surf shop while I was on a trip in New Brunswick and had to try it. I’m honestly obsessed!! The lather is amazing and it leaves my hair feeling so soft and clean. Even my boyfriend ended up using it and now he loves it too haha. I’ve tried a lot of shampoos and solid bars before and this one is by far my favorite it actually leaves your hair feeling fresh and light without any weird residue. I loved it so much I ended up ordering more from the website when I got home. Definitely my new go-to!
I love this shampoo bar so much, i keep one at home and one in my travel bag. It smells amazing and works so well!
I surf 4–5 times a week and my hair usually feels wrecked. I didn’t expect much from a shampoo bar but this actually helped a lot. My hair feels softer and not so dried out all the time. And it smells insane!
This product smells AMAZING and makes my hair feel full and healthy with 0 frizz. I’m a huge advocate for sustainability and this product is exactly that. I’m so happy this product is on the market! if you are looking at the reviews to purchase DO IT 110%!!
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. 🌊
