DESCRIPTION

Anti Chafe Balm for Land and Water Activities

It stops the rub before it starts

Wetsuit neck. Rash vest under the arms. Bra strap across the back. Seams at the thigh on mile twenty. Chafe is not a serious injury and it still ends sessions, ruins race days and keeps people out of the water for the three days it takes raw skin to close. A barrier applied before the activity prevents the friction that causes it.

Ocean Freedom Anti Chafe Balm is a protective balm formulated to help reduce friction, chafing and skin discomfort during land and water based activity. It creates a barrier on high friction areas to support comfortable movement during running, cycling, hiking, swimming, surfing, paddling, training and everyday activity.

Also known as chamois cream, this anti chafing balm is suitable for use where skin, swimwear, wetsuits, footwear or clothing seams may rub. Apply before activity to areas prone to chafing including thighs, underarms, feet, heels, nipples and around sportswear seams. Reapply as needed during longer sessions or after time in the water.

The formulation contains castor seed oil, carnauba wax, zinc oxide, lanolin, beeswax and tea tree leaf oil. It is paraben free, sulphate free and not tested on animals. Made in South Africa and formulated with consideration for use in aquatic environments.

How to use

Apply a small amount between the fingers and apply a thin layer to high friction areas 10 minutes before activity. Reapply on longer sessions or after extended time in the water. Use on clean dry skin for best adhesion. A thin film is enough, a thick layer transfers to fabric without adding protection.

Customer photo review of Imperfects

I've been using this brand of zinc for well over a year now. This stuff is great. It does not come off which is why I think it's so effective. I'll surf the whole day without getting burnt, and a tin lasts me 1.5 months of almost every day surfing. For the price its an absolute steal.

Thank you for the beautiful handwritten letter in the parcel. I highly appreciate it. I am a retired Professor (Chemistry)and enjoy now full time fishing with 2 clubs as well as social. The sun is very hot here in Zululand and for that reason I need protection for my face. Greetings Prof Albert Bassin

Customer photo review of Sun Stick Blue Surf Clay Mineral SPF50+ 26g

Love love love this!! The shipping was extremely fast!! We've had 34° weather in Limpopo at Swadini and my kids' faces didn't burn ONCE with this stick on. I've never been happier with a sunblock!! I've had mommies come over and ask me where I got the sunblock from as the ones they used aren't affective and their kids' faces still burned. I'm super impressed, I only apply it twice a day, at about 10 and then again at about 1 or 2. It's just extremely hard to get off at night😂. But I don't care, I'll rather have little smurfs in my bed than crying tomatoes!!

Customer photo review of Anti Chafe Balm

I swear by this stuff!!!! I put it all over my bikini line for lifesaving comps & no matter how much sand or salt-water gets in places, I am always chafe free! I also used it on my arms for a recent competition as a barrier for jellyfish (there were loads in the water!) and it worked perfectly to protect me from getting stung when I swam through them in my races. Will definitely never go back to vaseline after this product worked so well multi-purposely!!!!

Great product - love the colour and the kids love it too. It did come off in the pool with them rubbing their eyes and goggles on and off and they still seemed to get burnt but it was a super hot day - so will need to test them in all scenarios to see if it works 100% in that under eye spot xx But lovely product x

Max loves it! Works so well I am going to purchase the clear one in the tub (he tells me it comes in a tub). As a waterpolo player this product is ideal! LOVE the little pouch that the sticks came in. Thank you

I used the Imperfects that I recently received, yesterday at the beach. They were 'perfect'! Very mild dent in the casing but the sunblock worked so well for over an hour of sea swimming. Love these products, they are really extremely waterproof!

What an awesome experience with Ocean Freedom. 30 minutes after placing the order it was shipped. The product packaging has a premium feel. The service received was amazing. Will definitely buy again. Please support this amazing business.

I am yet to utilise the stick on my upcoming visit to the Maldives in November but I have tested it out locally and it seems effective and easy to apply and inconspicuous.

I've absolutely loved using the Ocean Freedom Face Wash. My skin has honestly never looked or felt better. It's super gentle on my sensitive skin, cleans really well without drying it out, and it's become the only face wash I use. Couldn't recommend it more!

Wonderful Sunscreen that have a good coverage that lasts the entire day. As a working mom I don't always have time to reapply sunscreen every two hours. This Surf clay stays on, and looks neat.

It's so good and it feels really good on my skin, it's exactly what I expected

Imperfects

As a long-distance runner, I’ve tried quite a few anti-chafe products over the years — and this one genuinely works. It keeps my skin protected even on long runs, without feeling sticky or heavy. One of the biggest wins for me is that it doesn’t stain clothing at all, and it also doesn’t melt or run when you sweat. No embarrassing shiny streaks or greasy patches in race photos either 😉. Reliable, comfortable, and now a permanent part of my running kit.

This is my second purchase of this product. What I love is the non greasy feel and subtle tinted coverage that it provides as well as my skin feeling moisturized all at the same time. A lovely product!

Even though imperfect, with a good rub it still works well.

We just love the surf clay range of colours. Tested it for hours on the beach. Lasted the whole day swimming in the sea. No sunburn on fair skin. We had no sunburn this holiday where this product was applied. The product sticks really well and lasts long. Very impressed and will buy again.

Sun Stick Pink Surf Clay Mineral SPF50+ 26g

I absolutely love all your products. My children and husband have sensitive skin that burns really easily. With your product, they do not burn at all and it lasts for long periods of time without having to reapply all the time. My children are club swimmers so they are in and out of the water all the time, and the clay is great for their faces and shoulders and the water just glides off. I love your tinted products as I apply it in the morning and it doubles up as a base. So less makeup, which is a win!!
