Shred Responsibly Isn’t a Slogan. It’s a Wake-Up Call.

The Dirty Secret of Ski Wax

Most ski and snowboard wax is made with paraffin, a petroleum byproduct. It’s cheap, synthetic, and it doesn’t break down in nature. At all.

Once it’s scraped off your board and left in the snow, it’s there for good—building up in the soil, running into the rivers, and hitching a ride through every watershed downhill.

And then there’s PFAS, a class of toxic compounds still used in some fluorinated waxes. PFAS are known as forever chemicals because they don’t degrade—and they’ve been linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and immune issues. Fluoro waxes containing PFAS have been banned in racing, but still show up in gear bags and tune shops.

Bottom line?
Whether it's paraffin or PFAS, most wax out there is trashing the places we ride.

So We Built Something Better

Board Budder doesn’t mess with petroleum, fluoros, or mystery additives. We formulate using 100% natural, renewable ingredients that actually perform. And yeah—we built this brand in a lab and on the mountain. Our formulas are:

• Petroleum-free

• PFAS-free

• Biodegradable

• Tested by real riders in real conditions

No greenwashing. No guessing. Just clean glide and clean conscience.

What Shred Responsibly Really Means

It doesn’t mean taking it easy.
It means showing up and not leaving a mess behind.

It means pushing your limits without pushing poisons into the places you love.

It means wax that rides fast, scrapes clean, and disappears naturally.

Shred Responsibly is more than a tagline—it’s a challenge. To the industry. To old habits. To riders who’ve never looked at their wax before.

Change Your Wax. Change the Ride.

We’re not here to follow trends or copy what’s already out there.
We’re here to flip the system. From the lab bench to the bootpack.

So ask yourself:

• Do you know what’s in your wax?

• Do you know what it leaves behind?

• Do you care enough to do something better?

You ride hard. You chase first chair. You earn your turns.
Now make your wax match that level of respect.

Shred hard. Shred clean. Shred Responsibly.
