We got tired of eyeblack that outlasted the game. So we made one that doesn't. Swipe it on, play your heart out, splash it off with plain water.
Oknaus started at a bathroom sink at 9:40 on a school night, scrubbing stubborn grease off a tired kid's face. There had to be a better way — so we built it. Eyeblack that holds through sweat and sun, treats your skin like a friend, and leaves the moment you ask it to. No makeup remover, no stained towels, no drama.
— Justin, founder of OKNAUS
One clean stroke under each eye. No greasy fingers, no crumbling.
Sweat-proof and sun-tough for the whole game. It stays sharp until you're done.
Splash, wipe, done. Plain water takes it all off in seconds.
The one that started it all. Twist-up stick, matte black, about 60 games' worth.
Three Originals — one for the bag, one for the car, one for whoever forgot theirs.
Twelve Originals for the whole dugout. Because nobody plays alone.

| Removal | Water, seconds | Makeup remover, scrubbing |
| On skin | Gentle, breathable | Clogs pores, irritates |
| Waste | Recyclable stick & carton | Plastic pots & wipes |
Yes, really. Splash your face or run a wet towel over it and Oknaus lifts away in seconds. We've timed it — it's faster than untying your cleats.
No. The formula releases with direct rinsing, not perspiration. It's held through August doubleheaders; it'll hold through yours.
It's gentle and non-comedogenic — we wear it on our own faces and our kids'. As with anything new, patch-test first if your skin is reactive.
Anywhere you'd wear eyeblack: baseball, softball, football, lacrosse, soccer — or the stands, honestly. Game faces aren't just for players.
The stick and carton are recyclable, the formula skips the petroleum grease, and since water takes it off, there are no single-use remover wipes in your trash.
Oknaus launches soon. Leave your email and we'll holler exactly once when the sticks are ready.
No spam, no drip campaign. One email, then we leave you alone.
