Rowers Rub

£11.99

Restorative blend of natural waxes, oil and butters to nourish rough and abraded skin to help support recovery. See below for more information.

Description

Test-developed by a rower for all water-based sports, Rowers Rub is formulated to be a natural barrier to help prevent chafing and rubbing when rowing, kayaking or canoeing. Leaping Fish products are made from premium natural ingredients that are vegan and vegetarian where possible to minimise the impact on the environment. Clove oil is traditionally used as a natural anti-microbial and antiseptic and Cajeput oil is known to be anti-bacterial. Together in our balm, they provide excellent protection against water-borne infection. The carefully chosen blend smellsrowers rub fantastic!

Friction caused by rubbing can get worse with changes in pressure, warmth and humidity, and the irritation can then develop to abraded skin suseptible to contracting infection from dirty water or the environment. Blisters can form from the shear effect when one layer of skin separates from another due to repeated movement caused by rubbing and pressure, leading to damage to the underlying layers containing nerves resulting in pain and discomfort and impairing your ability to perform at your best. Salts in sweat can also exacerbate sores. Apply Rowers Rub to your skin before exercise to provide a natural barrier to reduce friction.

Unlike many other products, Rowers Rub:

  • is made from natural ingredients including plant waxes and essential oils
  • is non-greasy, lying on the skin to create a protective surface whilst allowing the skin to breathe and prevent the by-products of sweat irritating the skin further.
  • includes essential oils of Clove and Cajaput to provide anti-bacterial properties for river and still-water based activities; helping reduce infection.
  • has a combination of specially chosen essential oils to help protect your skin.
  • is hypoallergenic – nothing but premium ingredients – no water, artificial ingredients, silicons or parabens.
  • Available in 60g tins or 100g tins for better value.

Ben Ajayi-Obe took Rowers Rub on the Atlantic Discovery Talisker Whiskey transatlantic challenge, completing the crossing in 40 days. Ben said that Rowers Rub ‘literally saved my a**e! Thank you for the tubs you gave us’.

Rowers Rub contains: Rapeseed oil, Soy wax, Beeswax, Cocoa butter, vegetable glycerine, Vitamin E, Zea Mays and essential oils of Clove Bud and Cajeput. The Cajeput oil has antiseptic properties, helping to prevent skin infection during activities on still or river water; Clove oil also has antibacterial properties and helps the skin recover. Rowers Rub can also be applied without stinging after exercise if you have developed sore skin, and and the balm helps prevent further discomfort by protecting the damaged area.

Leaping Fish balms are natural products – avoid contamination with water which can cause the balms to deteriorate. Balms may become soft in warm weather so keep them cool and store below 25oc. Always test on a small area before use and stop using if you have a reaction to the product.


Tested by men and women rowing during a variety of events including in Gigs and Outriggers during the London Great River Race over almost 22 miles, Rowers Rub helped prevent sores and ‘Giggers Arse’ in different boats with rowers and paddlers experiencing various challenging conditions.
