Salty Britches Chafing Ointment for Saltwater and Sport Chafing
Anyone dealing with saltwater chafing after a day on the water knows the feeling, and Salty Britches Chafing Ointment is built for exactly that problem. This product offers an all-day, skin-soothing, protective barrier against chafing and irritation, with a specialized formula that prevents heat, sports, and ocean chafing while soothing skin that is already irritated.
What Makes This Ointment Different
- Prevents and soothes chafing, blisters, and gear rub on any area prone to irritation
- Binds to skin for a long-lasting barrier without sticky, oily residue or staining
- Waterproof and weather-resistant, formulated to withstand saltwater chafing, heat, humidity, rain, mud, and wind
- Free from preservatives and parabens, not tested on animals, and designed with no reef-harming ingredients
- Tubes made from 50% PCR material, recycled plastic sourced from post-consumer packaging like milk containers
- Made in the USA
The blue tube is scented with rose oil, while the black tube is fragrance-free, and that scent is the only difference between the two.
Who This Is For
This ointment is built for anyone spending long hours in and around saltwater, from boat days to beach outings to any activity where gear, wetsuits, or repetitive motion cause skin irritation. It applies liberally to intact skin before exposure and is designed to hold up through the exact conditions South Florida throws at it, heat, humidity, and saltwater.
How to Use and Store It
Apply liberally to intact skin anywhere dry chapped skin, chafing, or blisters occur before exposure to the elements, for best results. Because the ointment will harden in colder temperatures, use it at room temperature or apply before outdoor activity, and it can be warmed for a few seconds in a microwave or car heater after removing the foil seal.
