If you’re one of the thousands of triathletes pounding the streets with your feet or on your bike, then we salute you as you are truly remarkable!. It’s a challenging sport that requires dedication and focus. But in a world of hardcore training and competition, are you taking the time to look after your skin? Our super friendly Balmy Fox team believe outdoor athletes are unique, which is why we’ve been creating skincare products just for you? Our organic skin-caring solutions are packed with natural ingredients to help you carry on doing what you love without annoying skin complaints.

What does Triathlon involve?

The Triathlon is a multi-discipline sport that consists of swimming, cycling and running that is continuously timed over various distances, each discipline running consecutively. It’s an endurance sport that takes a lot of dedication and training – at the end of the day, a triathlete has to be efficient in three sports, not just one!

How is a Triathlete’s Skin impacted?

It’s not just your body impacted by the dedicated training and competition that a triathlete has to endure – your skin needs care and attention too! Skin is our largest organ which naturally has a protective barrier that lubricates the surface. Prolonged water contact can interfere with this barrier, ultimately damaging it, resulting in dry, flaky and itchy skin. Chafing is another common complaint amongst triathletes due to the moisture and sweat generated during these multi-discipline races. This chafing can often become painful, even developing into an open wound. It’s therefore vital your routine involves preparing and protecting your skin before a race and providing that all-important aftercare once the race is over.

Train and Compete with Confidence with Balmy Fox

Our products are teaming with natural essential oils, and we’ve made sure they don’t contain any chemical ingredients such as synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates or other nasties. Instead, Balmy Fox is proud to offer skincare products full of organic goodness designed to hydrate and nourish your skin, keeping it in optimum condition.

For triathletes, our Anti-Chafe Cream is an obvious choice to keep on hand, providing you with the crucial protection needed throughout a race. Containing Arnica, Tea Tree, and Hemp Oil too, makes this a great all-rounder offering the benefits of being anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal.

Our compact Lip Balms are a superb multi-tasker tackling dry, cracked lips whilst simultaneously offering many hours of moisturisation. And with our famous Hand & Foot Repair Cream and Balm packed in your kit, your skin will feel hydrated and moisturised, all-the-while helping to repair that all-important skin barrier if necessary.

We understand that being a triathlete involves dedication, hard work and focus, so let us skincare boffins take just one worry away. With Balmy Fox packed in your kit, we’ll take care of your skin so you can continue being the superhuman you are, and along with our ethically sourced natural and organic ingredients, you’re helping the planet at the same time!

FAQ's

What’s the Best Chafing Cream for Triathletes?
Due to the multi-discipline nature of Triathlon and the effects of sweat, water, and friction, a more viscous formula using natural oils, waxes, and butters is best, as this will form a longer-lasting protective barrier whilst healing and moisturising already damaged skin.

Do You Make a Specific Thigh Chafing Cream?
Our Hand and Foot Cream and Anti-Chafe Cream offer excellent protection for multi-discipline sports, but we recommend the Anti-Chafe Cream due to its greater viscosity.

What is the Best Sunscreen for Triathlons?
Using an SPF sun cream with natural oils, waxes, and zinc oxide will work best when you have the issues of both sweat and water, as it is more water resistant than chemically formulated sunscreens and also making it the best no sting SPF formula. Balmy Fox SPF range.
