MERU GUARD Anti-Chafing Cream 30 ml

No chafing all the way to the finish

During a marathon, an ultra or a long hike, your skin can get damaged where you'd least expect it: between the thighs, in the groin, in the armpits, on the nipples, under a sports bra or heart rate strap, and on the feet. MERU GUARD is a water-repellent protective balm that forms a long-lasting film on the skin. It reduces friction, repels sweat and water, and helps prevent chafing, blisters and that unpleasant burning sensation.

Why not petroleum jelly?

During exercise, petroleum jelly melts from body heat and sweat and runs off. GUARD is high in lanolin and beeswax, so its waxy film stays in place for hours. Yet it doesn't seal the skin airtight and doesn't feel heavy. Meanwhile, shea butter and lanolin soften and care for your skin.

Key ingredients

• Lanolin (wool wax): a skin-friendly, ointment-like substance that forms a flexible, long-lasting protective film and moisturises
• Beeswax: provides a water-repellent protective layer and locks moisture into the skin
• Shea butter: softens, nourishes and soothes the skin
• Light plant oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride): makes the balm easier to spread

How to use: before exercise, apply a thick layer to areas prone to friction (thighs, groin, armpits, arms, neck, feet, nipples, and where your sports bra and heart rate strap sit). No need to rub it in. Before long races (marathon, ultra, long hikes), it's worth using it regularly for a few days beforehand so your skin is prepared. It also works well in everyday life, for example against thigh or skin-fold chafing in summer.

Warning: for external use only! Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes and open wounds. Contains lanolin (wool wax) and fragrance ingredients: if you are sensitive to them, test on a small area of skin before use. Discontinue use if an allergic skin reaction occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool place.
