About Us

Florida mom Kari Kenner just wanted her kids to be safe in the sunshine. But like many parents, she discovered most sunscreens were loaded with toxic ingredients, harmful to people and the ocean.

While digging through old family photos, she saw her great-grandfather fishing in long sleeves and hats — living fully outside, long before chemical sunscreens were common. It sparked something.

She and her husband, Shannon, realized we haven’t lost our ability to thrive in the sun, just our connection to the simple, traditional ways of living with it.

So they started Waxhead. A small act of care, grounded in the belief that better sun defense can help create a better, wilder future — one made for long mornings at the beach, muddy hikes, and kids who grow up outside.

Every Waxhead product is crafted in small batches, using food-grade ingredients and non-nano zinc oxide that protects without compromise — for your family and the planet.

We’re here to help you go outside again. Because humans were built to play in the sun — and to defend what we love.

Your friends,
The Kenner Family
