Three brands of anti-chafing cream tested
We have three great brands in our range and we have therefore taken a closer look at them.
1. Squirrel's Nut Butter
Squirrel's Nut Butter is an all-natural, abrasion-resistant ointment. Although I don't think ointment is the right word. It feels more like a slightly hardened coconut oil. It also only becomes soft when it is a bit warmer. That is also the case here. So when it is a bit colder you should break up the cream a bit and let it soften on your hands. It smells nice and once it is liquid, it spreads well. Sometimes a small hard grain seems to remain behind. Lasts a long time if you apply enough, and therefore works great.

2. Revvi
Revvi has a completely different product. This is a really soft, spreadable cream. More reminiscent of body lotion. That's how it smells too. This is not only an anti-friction cream, but it also works directly against dehydration and is anti-bacterial. I haven't had any blisters or irritation, but I feel like this is more of a lotion for dry skin and cracks than a real anti-chafing cream.
3. Runguard
Runguard is the third. This only comes as a stick for spreading and not as a can or jar. Runguard is very similar to Squirrel's Nut Butter (SNB). This product also uses coconut oil, but you smell Runguard less. Actually works quite the same as SNB.
