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!

Squirrel's Nut Butter is a must for long runs and ultramarathons. Big help with half tights in particular, but useful to prevent chafing from a shirt or hydration pack on the chest or armpits.

I use this all of the time. It's great for that bra line that often chafes, the rubbing thighs and as chamois butter for long rides.

I heard the horror stories of chafing during this weeklong bike ride across Iowa, and I was bound and determined to find something that would work for me. I wanted something natural and plant-based. I wanted something plastic-free. My search results led me here!
