Oars + Alps

Oars + Alps was started when founders Mia Duchnowski and Laura Lisowski Cox grew frustrated in finding products that were affordable, healthy and effective for their husbands' active lifestyles. Being adventurous and outdoorsy people, Duchnowski and Cox noticed there were limited options in the grooming space that combined high quality ingredients that were easily portable and no-fuss enough for a man's grooming routine. Every option was too expensive, full of chemicals, or tailored to women, which led them to create Oars + Alps. The name symbolizes their husbands' love for competitive rowing, snowboarding, skiing and cycling, and serves as a reminder to push through life's challenges by "Taking to the Oars" and achieving your goals.
