About Skipper

You know the struggle.

Plastic shower caps are the worst.

Too tight. Leaves a forehead mark. Too loose. Leaky. Too noisy. Gets smelly. Low quality. Wasteful plastic.

There had to be a better way.

Getting a better fit was top priority. The fabrics and quality needed an upgrade, too.

Shower cap, solved.®

Skipper's patented design has an adjustable, elastic-free band that's comfortable every time you wear it.

It's like a designer raincoat for your hair. We buy fabric remnants from designer raincoat production and use it for our high performance shower caps.

And there's no stinky shower caps here. Skippers are lined with a sweat-wicking, antibacterial fabric. When it needs a refresh, you can toss it in the washing machine (gentle cycle) and hang to dry.

Better fit, better materials, better quality.

Easier for you, easier on the planet.

Skipper is more than a shower cap. It's a tool for living more sustainably.

We’re definitely not perfect environmentalists, but we know that small actions add up. Or, in this case, inactions—don’t wash your hair!

Saves water: When you cut 5 minutes off your shower, you save 40-50L of water! That really adds up over time.

Reduces plastic: The world is moving away from single-use plastic for good reason. Let's spare landfills and oceans from disposable shower caps.

Who cares that much about shower caps?

Answer: Skipper's founder, Gillian Thomson.

When she couldn't find a shower cap that worked for her, she knew she wasn't alone, so she set out to design a totally new one.

Gillian dreamed of making hair products since she was young, so she earned her chemistry degree and hairstyling license. After realizing that dream and developing salon and spa products in her early career, she turned towards marketing and design. Years later, when the idea for a better shower cap came along, she combined this unique skillset to reignite her hair product dreams and invent Skipper.

Proudly made in Canada

The idea of low quality goods—like disposable shower caps—shipped around the world to be used a few times then thrown away doesn't sit right with us.

Instead, we support local and invest in quality.

Skipper is proud to contribute to our local economy by making our shower caps in Canada. It is not easier, and it's not cheaper, but we believe it's the right thing to do.

A beauty product that isn't trying to change the way you look.

Skipper is built on three foundational values:

  • Brains before beauty.

    Prioritize what is smart over what looks pretty.

  • Keep it real.

    Be authentic, and not take ourselves too seriously.

  • Do good.

    Do what's right for people and the planet.
