The smell had a lingering “spit” scent. Not sure if they all smell like that’s. Product was very good but couldn’t wear it with the smell
Vegan, water-based, and nourishing, our Coastal Creme rejuvenates dry or damaged hair, while adding volume and a very low hold for a lightly textured look that you can run your hands through all day. Part hair lotion, part leave-in hair conditioner, it's our lowest hold product and is a favorite for natural looks.
Organic & wild-crafted ingredients, made entirely in Northern California
1.7 ounces, bottled by hand in premium, biophotonic glass
Aroma notes: cedar atlas, red mandarin, blue tansy

Best applied to damp, "towel dry" hair, or with a drop of water added to the product in your palm. Scoop a dime sized amount of Coastal Creme, then use your fingers and palms to emulsify in a circular motion, while spreading to your fingertips. Spread evenly throughout your hair. Style with your hands for a natural look, or with a comb for a stylized look.

"Best Styler" - GQ Grooming Awards, 2025
Our goal is to help you find the perfect styling product for you and your specific hairstyle and hair needs - if you try this product and you're not completely satisfied, simply email us and we can either swap for the correct product or send you a refund.
Is Coastal Creme Pomade right for you?
Filled with super-food ingredients like coconut, aloe vera, spirulina, olive squalane and marshmallow root, our Coastal Creme is the perfect product for natural looks. A favorite for those who seek volume and styling, while still being able to run hands through their hair throughout the day, Coastal Creme has a cult-like following.
The Coastal Creme also works great as a "pre-styler", and many barbers, stylists, and customers use the Creme to style the hair, and then add a touch of either the Volcanic Clay Pomade (medium hold) or the Sun Wax Pomade (strong hold) to lock things in for the day.
Still undecided? Read our blog post, how to choose the right hair product, or email us direct at info@churchcalifornia.com with questions.
Coastal Creme Pomade was made for natural looks - Church Barber customers expressed a need for a volume boosting product to keep hair from falling flat, but they still wanted to be able to run their hands through their hair. We created and then tested our hair styling cream for nearly 2 years at Church, getting tons of feedback from customers and barbers prior to finally perfecting it. Today it’s among the best sellers at our shop and partner shops.
Our hair styling cream gives volume and structure to hair without altering the natural structure of your hair style. Perfect for those who want a natural look and like to run their hands through their hair throughout the day, hair cream nourishes your hair while adding just the right amount of hold for styling.
Yes! The organic and wildcrafted ingredients in our hair cream are filled with vitamins and minerals that absorb toxins and promote hair growth. The ingredients in the Coastal Creme have been hand selected to encourage healthy hair and scalp.
No, we never use synthetic fragrance, and we disclose every ingredient in our products, including the essential oils which contribute to scent. Furthermore, we never choose essential oils for scent alone, and instead choose oils that are beneficial for skin, scalp, health, and hair.
Unlike typical household products that use synthetic fragrance built to mimic real scents and smells found in the natural world, truly natural products like ours change with the seasons and from harvest to harvest, because we're using real plant ingredients for the entire product. What you're smelling is real life, as it changes.
Our foremost mission is to create natural styling products that are high performance and work better than more conventional, lab-made products. We want to make it a no-brainer for you to toss out chemical based hair and grooming products and embrace our natural alternatives, without sacrificing the results you want. If you’re not satisfied with your products, we will happily refund you, less the cost of shipping.

"Best Natural Pomade: it does wonders for smoothing and defining hair" - Men's Health
"It incorporates light amounts of bentonite clay to give you both hold and volume, without weighing thin hair down." - Men's Journal

This is the first product that I’ve used that works for my hair and that smells great and has that natural look while it’s on, will definitely buy more in the future.

I switch between this and the Sun Wax. Perfect for days when I don’t need much hold and I’m just chillin’. Also smells amazing!!!

I was looking for a light hair product that would look natural when applied, but still have some “hold power.” This is it - a soft creme that applies easily and evenly and holds naturally all day long. I love it!! I will definitely be making Coastal Creme Pomade my go to hair product!
