Surfer waits for a wave in the ocean

Better Wax for a Better Ocean

For over 50 years Wax Research has been dedicated to making surf wax that not only performs at the highest level but is also not harmful to the environment. We take pride in every process and ingredient that goes into making each bar of Sticky Bumps surf wax so you can feel good about what you are putting on your board.

Ocean-Safe Ingredients

Our surf waxes are made from mineral waxes (non-toxic, biodegradable paraffins and microcrystalline waxes), calcium carbonate, and eco-friendly tackifiers, which include terpene (tree) resins, non-toxic scent, and non-toxic dye. All ingredients comply with TSCA/EPA/Prop 65 regulations for non-toxicity. 

Biodegradable Wax

Sticky Bumps wax biodegrades over time through a process in which bacteria and fungus emulsify back into the environment. 

No Waste

Every bar of Sticky Bumps is made in our zero-waste factory in California. Our core ingredients are melted with steam, then mixed, to minimize environmental impact. Every material in our production process is either reused or recycled. 

Recycled Packaging

Every bar of Sticky Bumps is hand-packed with recycled materials in our no-waste factory.
