A Message From The Founder

"I created Wax Project because I couldn’t ignore what we’re leaving behind every time we surf. Most surf wax is made from petroleum, and it ends up in the ocean and on our skin with every session. That didn’t sit right with me, so I built a natural, non-toxic alternative that performs without adding to the problem. Because this is bigger than wax, every follow and purchase helps remove trash from our beaches and oceans."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your wax made from?

Wax Project is made from natural, non-toxic ingredients designed to perform without relying on petroleum. We focus on plant-based components that give you the grip you need while reducing what gets left behind in the ocean.

What type of packaging do you use?

Our packaging is made from recycled materials and designed to minimize waste. We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact by choosing materials that give existing resources a second life, instead of creating new plastic.

What is paraffin?

Paraffin is a petroleum-based wax made from refined crude oil—the same source used to make things like gasoline and plastic. It’s the primary ingredient in most traditional surf wax.

Does it work as well as traditional surf wax?

Yes—that was non-negotiable. Wax Project is designed to give you the same reliable grip and feel you expect, without the petroleum. If it didn’t perform, we wouldn’t make it.

Why does surf wax matter for the environment?

Most surf wax is made from petroleum, and small amounts can rub off your board every time you surf. Over time, that adds up. Wax Project was created to reduce that impact and give surfers a better option.

How does the 1 follow = 1 piece of trash work?

For every follow and every purchase, we commit to removing one piece of trash from beaches and oceans. It’s a simple way to turn this into something bigger than just a product—and hold ourselves accountable to making a real impact.

I’m on a mission to pick up 1 MILLION pieces of trash!

Our mission is to remove 1 million pieces of trash from beaches and oceans—one small action at a time.
