Use our products first, when you get dressed, before you start work and activity, to help save your skin from needing first aid.

Using our protective solutions on your skin, you are not as likely to suffer chafing, blisters, or raw skin that needs a bandage or other first aid.

BODY – The #1 skin formula for protection against rubbing & chafing and has been trusted for over two decades. This is the base of all our anti-chafe/anti-blister stick products.

FOR HER – Starts with BODY as the base and mixes in Coconut and Sweet Almond oils to better moisturise and protect skin. Coconut oil is known to have moisture retaining properties, which promote skin hydration and soothe skin irritation.  Sweet Almond Oil is know to help maintain moisture levels in the skin, without blocking pores.  It is also rich in A, B and E vitamins to promote skin health.

FOOT GLIDE – Starts with BODY as the base and mixes in anti inflammatory and skin rejuvenation ingredients.  Apricot Kernel Oil is rich in A and C vitamins, which treat damaged skin and are known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Comfrey Leaf Extract is known to treat skin ulcers, joint inflammation, and bruises.

CYCLE GLIDE – Starts with BODY as the base and mixes in Provitamin B5 and a light minty fragrance.  Provitamin B5 is known to protect the skin from moisture loss, without blocking pores, in order to improve skin softness and elasticity.  It is also known to act as a skin healer and protector, which can offer relief from itchiness and pain and reduce redness.

OUTDOOR – Has the same great formula as BODY in packaging suited for many different outdoor activities.

SKIN GLIDE – The only cream in the Body Glide in line.  Although it is a different formula than the sticks it still offers great anti-friction/anti-chafe protection.

We don’t use any petroleum (petrolatum), mineral or vegetable oils, and no lanolin (from animals); all are notoriously greasy, messy, slide around on your skin, require frequent reapplication, and regardless of how they feel, they are comparatively ineffective.

Most anyone, and they do. From elite athletes, to people in physically demanding jobs, to people who want to wear their favourite shoes/outfit Body Glide®balms can help protect your skin from the rubbing that causes chafing, hot spots blisters and rash. If you are not certain that chafing and rash are caused by rubbing, consult a health care professional to learn if the cause may be yeast, bacterial infection, eczema, psoriasis, detergent, fabric softener, or something else.

Yes, but never on animals, and we do not use ingredients derived from animals.  People participate in tests for skin sensitivity, and the tests are conducted in independent, certified laboratories.

Powders are messy and easily rubbed away, and creams often go on messy, wet, and goopy. Body Glide® brand balms go on smooth and stay where you put them. With our solutions, you won’t be putting any petroleum, mineral or other oils, lanolin or other animal products on your skin. Our products are safe and do not ruin rubber, neoprene, or other gear. They stay where you put them, last longer, and come off easily with mild soap.

Our proprietary formulas are made with ingredients that come from plants. We use waxes that work for skin the same way they help plants retain moisture. Independent, certified laboratories test our products—on human volunteers, not animals. We have never used animal products, and our solutions are hypoallergenic.

We don’t use old school, greasy, messy petroleum, lanolin, or mineral oils – ingredients that sit on the top of the skin, slide around, and need frequent reapplication.
