Runners Rub 60ml/60g Tin

Triathletes Skin & Suit Lube is a blend of natural oils and waxes to help in competition to prevent rubbing in wetsuits, saddle sores from contact during bike sections and friction blisters in shoes. The choice of oils gives this blend a high slip factor helping wet suit release during transitions, and the essential oils have natural qualities which helps to keep your skin clean and prevent infections and bacterial build-up. Unlike petroleum based products this Skin & Suit Lube allows your skin to breathe and the light layer of waxes prevent the by-products of sweating from further irritating your skin, and its neoprene friendly and won't damage your wetsuit. Triathletes Skin & Suit Lube protects the skin from abrasion and friction and the oils and waxes keep your skin supple and moisturised. Use it on any part where the wetsuit and skin develop chafing. You can also apply to tight areas such as forearms and wrists to help with wetsuit slide to remove it quickly during events.

WHY ARE WE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT?

There is overwhelming evidence that plastic waste stays in the environment for many decades infiltrating the food chain and causing untold damage to marine and land based animals. Some anti-chafing options include PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) otherwise known as Teflon; these almost indestructible molecules get washed into the water cycle and therefore the environment and are absorbed by flora and fauna. From our point of view it’s not possible to compromise our appreciation of the world around us with causing unnecessary pollution and so we aim to have all our products from sustainable or environmentally friendly sources to minimise our impact. We have moved our production to recyclable aluminium tins.

Thanks to the feedback and positive comments from the participants at White Star Running’s August East Farm event during the half, full marathon and 10K races. Runners Rub was given out to those needing emergency chafing relief…
