Surfing Cow is a coastal-inspired skincare brand built in San Diego. We make tallow-based skincare that actually works for people who live in the sun, surf, and outdoors. No fluff. Just products that protect, hydrate, and restore.

Grass-fed beef tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K. It closely matches the natural oils in your skin, making it deeply nourishing, non-greasy, and incredibly effective for hydration and barrier support. Humans have used it for centuries — we’re just bringing it back to the beach.

Yes. Every product is made with simple, natural ingredients you can actually pronounce. We don’t use fillers, parabens, synthetic fragrances, or anything that doesn’t belong on your skin.

• Sun Balm: Mineral protection (non-nano zinc oxide + tallow + beeswax). Great for surf sessions, runs, hikes, or any time you’re outside.
• Moisturizer: Lightweight, whipped hydration for daily use — morning, night, or after saltwater + sun.

Absolutely. All Surfing Cow formulas are gentle enough for your face and effective enough for your whole body.

Yes, our formulas are simple and free of harmful additives. But as with any skincare, we recommend patch-testing first if your little ones have sensitive skin.

Most people find tallow balances and soothes skin rather than causing breakouts. Because it’s bio-identical to human sebum, it absorbs cleanly without clogging pores.

We use 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow from responsible farms. Sustainability and transparency are non-negotiable for us.

Yes. We use glass jars, recyclable boxes, kraft shipping materials, and encourage reusing or recycling everything.

We currently ship across the U.S. International shipping is coming soon.

Orders usually ship within 2–3 business days. You’ll receive tracking info once it’s on the way.

If you’re not stoked with your Surfing Cow order, email us within 30 days. We’ll make it right — refund, replacement, or store credit.

Keep jars in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Our balms may soften in heat but will firm up again once cooled. The formula stays effective either way.

Because we use natural ingredients, we recommend using them within 12 months of opening.

It’s our ethos: surf more, live well, take care of your skin, and enjoy the simple things.
