Our Story

We grew up like most California groms in the '90s

covered in sunscreen and saltwater. Back then, no one thought twice about the chemicals in our sunblock, or what they were doing to our skin and the ocean. But now we know better.

All-day surf sessions and 90 minute sunscreens don't mix, so I made the switch to mineral sunscreen. It did the job, but left me looking like a ghost and clinging to my skin long after the session was over. No matter how hard I scrubbed, that white film wouldn’t budge.

That’s why we created Kook-Off...

to make washing off mineral sunscreen easy. No harsh scrubbing or zinc caught in our beards—just a simple way to clean up after a long day in the waves. It removes sunscreen fast while hydrating and soothing sun-worn skin.
