About us
Oars + Alps makes skincare and grooming products for active, on-the-go individuals. You can trust us for 3 things: 1) only using the best skincare ingredients (i.e. high quality and clean) 2) that actually work and 3) products designed to keep up with your busy, active life.
The name Oars + Alps was inspired by the company’s founders, Mia and Laura, whose active husbands enjoy rowing and skiing. Learn more about our commitment to creating the best men’s grooming products on our 'About Us' page.
Here on oarsandalps.com you can find every product available, including the newest launches! When shopping directly with us you can contact our team for questions, earn O + A Rewards on every purchase, and choose free gifts. Plus, we offer a 30-day Return Policy. All orders made directly on our website arrive in our thoughtfully-packed, premium packaging.
You can find our grooming essentials at some of your favorite online retailers, including Amazon, Macy’s, Target.com, Walgreens.com, Kohl’s, and The Grove Collaborative. Use our Store Locator to find us in brick-and-mortar retail stores near you. Inventory may vary so it’s best to check with retailers directly on the products they have available.
Oars + Alps is for the active person who wants the best skincare and grooming products, with results you can actually see and feel. Few, if any, hygiene products for men are specifically created with clean ingredients and made to keep up with your everyday adventures. We scour the world for the best skincare ingredients, like our unique, antioxidant-rich Alpine Caribou Moss™. Found in northern Finland, this resilient lichen helps boost skin elasticity and protection against environmental hazards, so we add it to just about everything we make. Read more about the ingredients we do and don't use.
Oars + Alps was founded to address a gap in the market for clean, effective skincare products for men. That said, anyone can use our products. Trust us, our women-founded, women-led company has a whole lot of blue in their bathrooms and gym bags 😉

Products
Nope. No. Never. Our men’s skincare and grooming products are cruelty-free and we will never change this stance.
All Oars + Alps products are vegan excluding our lip balm which contains beeswax. We pride ourselves on using the highest quality and best skincare ingredients for you and the environment.
Oars + Alps has chosen the ingredients in our mineral, chemical, and mineral-chemical hybrid sunscreens based on the most recent data available about safety levels. Our product development team also worked to ensure all of our formulas are compliant with Hawaii’s health and safety standards for humans and marine ecology, which are among the strictest in the world. For instance, you won’t find Oxybenzone in any Oars + Alps products due to research potentially linking it to disruption of the endocrine system, as well as Hawaii’s ban on this particular ingredient. We also refrain from using Octinoxate, as this ingredient along with Oxybenzone are the two ingredients that have undergone significant research regarding concerns for coral reef health. We closely follow ongoing ingredient research and will always make adjustments to our formulas to meet or exceed guidelines and regulations for human and environmental health.
We formulate our products with a wide range of skin, body, and hair types in mind. Use our Skin Quiz as a starting point for building a customized routine. If you’d like additional recommendations for your skin type or have a specific skin concern, please reach out to hi@oarsandalps.com and we'd be happy to help! We're here to help you choose the best men’s grooming products for your needs. 👌
This is very important to us! We strive to use the most eco-friendly packaging to make little impact on our environment while also protecting your products while they venture from our warehouse to your door. Our tissue is certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and meets the standards for responsible forestry. ♻️
Most of our products meet TSA guidelines. Our Solid Face Wash is also, well, solid, so there’s no need to worry about it spilling in your carry on or gym bag! ✈️
