The Future of Sports.

Our Mission

WhiteRoot builds performance wax from plants — longer-lasting than paraffin, transparently made in Europe. For every athlete who refuses to compromise.

The people behind it

Behind WhiteRoot are Moritz, Lucas and Hans — three people who spend more time on skis and bikes than at a desk. It all started with a frustration: the best wax on the market was based on crude oil and fluorine — and no one asked questions. We wanted performance without burning through the environment and our health to get it. So we built it ourselves: plant-based, long-lasting, developed and made in Europe. No corporation, no marketing fairy tale — three athletes, one standard.

Three founders - one shared mission

Each with their own role. All with the same goal.

Our Journey

From an idea on a chairlift to our own wax forge.

Winter 23/24
An idea on the chairlift

“Let’s just try it.” Development begins two years before founding — first formulas, first tests on our own skis.

2024–2025
Test, fail, improve

Iteration after iteration. Not in a lab, but on real slopes — until the mix was faster and longer-lasting than anything you could buy.

August 2025
Founding the UG

The project becomes a company. WhiteRoot launches.

Winter 25/26
Pilot phase

The first real season: first customers, honest feedback, thousands of ski days on plant-based wax.

June 2026
Fresh start in Salzburg

Formulas refined, brand reimagined, the FlexCo founded in Salzburg. More than Wax.

Behind the Scenes

Behind the curtain

This is how WhiteRoot comes to life — from the first melting test in the workshop to testing in the snow. Real photos coming soon.

Vision

The Future of Sports.

Mission

Wax that makes every athlete faster — and gives their sport a future.

Attitude

Direct, honest, uncompromising. No hype without substance, no compromise on performance.

Performance without residue

Our waxes are 100% plant-based, free of fossil crude-oil paraffin, and last longer — what lasts longer needs replacing less often. Developed and made in the DACH region, with short supply chains and transparent processes.
