About Us

"To create high-performance skincare powered by the ocean — blending marine botanicals, native Australian ingredients, and clean science to support and protect active skin".

Our Story

Born of the ocean. Built for every man.

Ninth Wave Skin Co. was founded by three mates who realised that somewhere between the salt, the sun and the good times, we’d stopped looking after ourselves properly. Years of UV exposure and neglect had taken their toll and the products we tried never quite delivered. Too greasy. Too complicated. Too far from real life.

Using the ocean as inspiration, we created something better. Straightforward, effective skincare built for Australian conditions; to prepare, protect and repair. Because under our sun, UV protection isn’t optional, it’s essential.

In partnership with leading Australian laboratories, we’ve formulated and tested every product to meet our exacting standards. Each ingredient is chosen for purpose and balances science, nature, and performance without compromise.

Ninth Wave isn’t just about skincare. It’s about redefining what self-care means for men. Health, confidence, and awareness.

We’re here to make looking after your skin a simple and natural ritual that fits the lifestyle you already live.

What We do

We combine the powerful skincare benefits of marine-derived ingredients, Australia’s most resilient native botanicals and proven scientific actives - all designed specifically to combat Australia’s harsh climate.

Our product range is built to prepare, protect and repair - put simply, to solve the skin care concerns of the modern man, whatever the lifestyle.

OUR ETHOS

We want to make a difference and pioneer some pretty simple standards:

We keep things CLEAN - clean is about real ingredients that do their job without the rubbish. No parabens. No microplastics. No synthetic fillers. Just honest formulations that respect your skin and the sea it came from.

We keep things GREEN - green is about how it’s made, where it goes, and what it leaves behind. We carefully consider every step - from the formula to the packaging - to tread lighter and last longer.

We keep things BLUE - blue is about protecting the coastline, using reef-safe ingredients, reducing runoff, and closing the loop on waste. It’s about circular packaging, traceable sourcing, reef-safe formulations, and ocean-positive action.
