From Surf Club to Soap Bars: The Zahavier Story

Picture this:

salty air, rolling waves, and a tight-knit group of surfers chasing the perfect swell. That was everyday life for Zahavier’s founder, who spent his college years as the president of the university’s surf club. Early mornings were spent paddling out, and late nights were filled with stories of epic rides, sunburns, and—let’s be real—a lot of sand stuck in places it shouldn’t be.

But with all that time in the ocean came a big problem: dry, irritated skin. The commercial soaps on the market weren’t cutting it. Harsh detergents and artificial fragrances left skin feeling stripped, not soothed. So, what started as a mission to find a solution turned into something much bigger—handcrafting high-quality, organic bar soaps made from nature’s best ingredients.

The First Test Subjects: The Surf Crew

Before Zahavier was a brand, it was a passion project. The first batch of soap—crafted with nutrient-rich grass-fed beef tallow, coconut oil, olive oil, and shea butter—was handed out to surf club members. They were the perfect guinea pigs: people who spent hours under the sun and in salty water, dealing with chafing, dryness, and breakouts.

The response? A total game-changer. The guys and gals who once relied on generic drugstore soaps started raving about how Zahavier’s handmade bars kept their skin soft, hydrated, and balanced—even after back-to-back surf sessions. Word spread fast, and soon enough, friends, family, and even strangers wanted in.

From College Hobby to Clean Skincare Revolution

That surf club experiment was the spark that ignited Zahavier’s journey. What began as small-batch soap-making in a dorm room quickly evolved into a full-fledged brand dedicated to clean, organic, and handcrafted skincare. The mission? To offer soap that’s as pure and powerful as the ocean itself—free from synthetic junk, packed with skin-loving ingredients, and made with sustainability in mind.

Why Zahavier?

Unlike mass-produced soaps loaded with sulfates, parabens, and artificial fragrances, Zahavier’s bars are crafted with the same care and attention that went into those first surf-club-tested bars. We use ingredients like:

🌿 Grass-Fed Beef Tallow – Mimics the lipids in human skin for deep hydration.
🫒 Organic Olive Oil – Rich in antioxidants to fight free radicals.
🥥 Coconut Oil – Antibacterial and deeply moisturizing.
🧈 Shea & Mango Butter – Natural healers for dry, sun-worn skin.
☕ Organic Coffee Grounds – Perfect for exfoliating away sand and dead skin.
