The Founders

We’re Doug and Drew Littlemore, founders of Headhunter. Growing up surfing in La Jolla and traveling through Mexico, we spent our lives in the sun—so in 1989, we set out to create protection that actually worked.

Everything changed after long seasons working on Tavarua Island in Fiji. Day after day in the tropical sun proved what we already knew—no sunscreen on the market could keep up.

So we made our own. Two years of testing with chemists, lifeguards, guests, and pro surfers led to our “Original” formula: physical blockers plus our Heavy Water Technology, built to stay on until you wash it off. Thick, tan, and unconventional—but it worked.

That formula became a game-changer and is still one of our most popular products today.

Thanks for being part of the journey. Check out the full Headhunter line—and we’ll see you in the water
