BORN OF THE OCEAN. BUILT FOR ADVENTURE.

High-performance men's skincare powered by
marine-derived ingredients, Australian native botanicals and proven scientific actives.

THE REALITY

YOUR SKIN TAKES A BEATING EVERY SINGLE DAY.

90%

Visible skin ageing is caused by environmental exposure. Sun. Salt. Wind. Sweat. Pollution.

100%

Hydration, barrier support and daily SPF are key to better looking skin over time.

2 in 3

Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by age 70.

24 HRS/365 DAYS

Your skin is exposed to the elements every day of the year.

SUN. SALT. WIND. SWEAT. POLLUTION.

Most skincare was designed for the office and NOT for life under the Australian sun. You don't live your life in the office.

Australia's coastal environment exposes your skin to some of the harshest conditions on earth - intense UV, salt, wind and constant environmental stress.

Ninth Wave was designed for the environment in which we live. Marine-derived ingredients, Australian native botanicals and proven scientific actives combine to help protect, restore and support healthy-looking skin in our harsh elements.

NINTH WAVE WAS BUILT for tough conditions.

DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.

"Bought this as a gift for my brother who works in construction and does a lot of fishing on weekends. He called me a week later to say the Recovery Bar alone was worth it — says it's the first soap that actually makes his skin feel good after a sweaty day on site. He's since added the cleanser to his morning and says his face doesn't feel as rough. Good kit for blokes who need something practical for face and body without overcomplicating it."

"My GP mentioned I needed to be more careful with sun exposure after a skin check. The Starter Kit made sense because it was a complete morning and night routine without me having to figure out what goes with what. Been using it for about a month. Skin feels different — less dry, less tight after a day outside. Simple to follow, no overthinking required. That's all I wanted."

"Our son always reacted to mainstream sunscreens - he is a red head who is super fair & burns very easily! Yours is one of the only ones we have found that is super clean and WORKS!"

★★★★★
"I’ve got pretty sensitive skin, but this has been perfect with no irritation at all and my skin’s been looking great since I started using it. I wasn’t sure about the scent at first, but I absolutely love it now and as does my partner. It’s become my everyday moisturiser."

THE FOUNDERs

"WE BUILT THIS BECAUSE WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT WAS BUILT FOR US."

We started Ninth Wave because we couldn't find products that fitted the lifestyles we live. Between the three of us we surf, golf, work outdoors, free dive, fish, sail and skydive (well maybe not the last one). Every product we tried just wasn't designed for the environment in which we were living.

So we built something different. Something that works with your skin, not against it. Something honest, effective, and made for real people. Something made for Australia, for what we call "a life of adventure".

- FOUNDERS

formulas that make you feel good

High performance skincare that fits your life, not the other way around. Simple routines, no overthinking - just products that keep your skin clean, hydrated, and taken care of every day.

The goodness of the ocean carefully formulated to hydrate, replenish, and support your skin after exposure to sun, salt, and the elements.

To support your skin's hydration, appearance and overall comfort - and combat our harsh coastal sun.

Time honoured and proven ingredients to help your skin feel refreshed, conditioned and supported after time outdoors.

FAQ's

Sun, wind and sweat all take a visible toll on the skin. Most brands simply aren't built for long days outside. Daily exposure can leave your skin feeling itchy, dry and worn out. Ninth Wave is built to help your skin handle the elements by supporting hydration, maintaining balance and helping it to look and feel fresh.

In the short term, your skin should feel simply... better. Cleaner, more hydrated, and less tight after a day in the elements. It should look fresher, smoother, and more balanced.

Long term, it’s about staying ahead of a damaging curve. Consistent care helps maintain hydration, support the skin barrier and keep your skin looking clear.

Ninth Wave isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building reslience to keep your skin looking sharp and feeling good, day after day.

Not with 10 products. Not with a complicated routine. Start with the basics that actually make a difference - cleanse, hydrate, and repair. That’s it. Most skin issues come from being stripped out, dried out, or left exposed too long.

Ninth Wave keeps it simple. The Starter Kit covers what you need to get your skin back on track - helping it feel cleaner, look fresher, and stay balanced after daily exposure. No guesswork. Just the essentials, done properly.

Most skincare leans one way; either “natural” with no backbone, or “clinical” with no connection to real life. Ninth Wave sits in the middle, and it’s built that way on purpose.

We combine marine-derived ingredients, Australian botanicals, and proven scientific actives - so your skin gets what it needs to perform, not just what sounds good on a label. At the same time, we keep it clean. No unnecessary fillers, no shortcuts - just formulas designed to work with your skin, not against it.

And it goes beyond the bottle. Ninth Wave is built around a clean, green, and blue approach—clean formulations, conscious materials and production, and a commitment to reducing impact on the coastlines we’re part of.


It’s not one idea. It’s the balance of all three; nature, science, and responsibility all working together.
