Ingredient glossary
Five actives. Every percentage disclosed. Here's exactly what each one does and why athletes need it.
UV Filter
What it is
A physical mineral that sits on the skin surface and reflects UVA/UVB radiation.
Why athletes need it
Doesn't break down with heat or sweat. Zero absorption into the bloodstream. Works from application — no 20-minute wait.
Humectant
What it is
The sodium salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid — a molecule naturally found in skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF).
Why athletes need it
Draws water from the dermis and atmosphere into the outer skin layers. Keeps the barrier functional during extended training sessions.
B3 Vitamin
What it is
Vitamin B3 in its active form. Works directly in skin cells without requiring conversion.
Why athletes need it
Reduces post-workout inflammation, visibly calms redness, and fortifies the ceramide barrier disrupted by prolonged sweating.
Wound-Healing Botanical
What it is
An Asian medicinal herb (Cica) rich in triterpenoids: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid.
Why athletes need it
Accelerates epidermal repair from micro-trauma caused by friction and UV exposure during training. Clinical studies show measurable collagen synthesis boost.
Barrier Lipids
What it is
Lipid molecules that make up ~50% of the stratum corneum's intercellular matrix.
Why athletes need it
Prolonged sweating, chlorine, and sun exposure strip ceramides, raising TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss). Replenishing them closes the gaps athletes open during training.
