- Who it's for
- Runners, cyclists, and hikers prone to chafing — especially in heat, humidity, or on long efforts (half marathons through 100-milers). Hosts with sensitive skin, thick thighs, or gear contact points (vest straps, bra lines, collarbone) call it essential.
- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently report it eliminates chafing and blistering across years of daily use, and many cite the scent as a genuine plus. Secondary uses — foot care, cold-weather skin protection, sunburn soothing, pet paw care, and even lip balm — come up repeatedly.
- Worth noting
- Noted as all-natural and plant-based with compostable packaging; one host flags a high melting point that keeps it solid in warm temps. The stick format is praised for clean, no-touch application; the tin is flagged as travel-friendly and useful as a glove-box backup.

Works great to keep you chafe-free. Also helps repair skin that has been damaged. It also has a high melting point, so it stays solid when the temps rise.

Squirrel’s Nut Butter products are an absolute household must. They work to prevent chafe but also for skin restoration, soothing sunburns, healing tattoos, and, can be used on your pet’s skin, too. The absolute best there is, and it’s all natural!
