Everything you want to 
know about Body Glide products.

Below you will find the most common questions and information about the ingredients we have in our products, and what kind of testing we do. If you have more questions, please feel free to contact us. 


Why do you say the products are for “first use”?

Use our products first, when you get dressed, before you start work and activity, to help save your skin from needing first aid.

How does Body Glide help prevent needing first aid?

Using our protective solutions on your skin, you are not as likely to suffer chafing, blisters, or raw skin that needs a bandage or other first aid.

What are the differences between the balms?

"BODY" is the #1 skin formula for protection against for protection against rubbing, time-tested for two decades. “FOR HER” adds in Vitamins A, B, E and F to help hydrate skin and retain moisture as it fights rubbing, which also makes it great for sensitive, dry and cracked skin. "SKIN" balm has its own unique hydrating qualities and it creates a technically advanced, silky smooth barrier to protect skin almost anywhere, particularly around toes. "FOOT" is another Body Glide original to guard against hot-spots, chafing and raw skin, an anti blister formula infused with Vitamins A and C that also help to soften and restore dry, chapped, and chafed feet.

You don’t use ingredients found in other products?

We don’t use any petroleum (petrolatum), mineral or vegetable oils, and no lanolin (from animals); all are notoriously greasy, messy, slide around on your skin, require frequent reapplication, and regardless of how they feel, they are comparatively ineffective.

If I don’t see your products at my favorite store, what do you recommend?

Please ask them to carry Body Glide®! Use our store locator to find the closest locations that do stock our product.

Who can use your balms?

Most anyone, and they do. Please see some of the categories on our home page to find out more about how Body Glide is a true multi-use product. If you are not certain that chafing and rash are caused by rubbing, consult a health care professional to learn if the cause may be yeast, bacterial infection, eczema, psoriasis, detergent, fabric softener, or something else.

Are your products tested?

Yes, but never on animals, and we do not use ingredients derived from animals. People participate in tests for skin sensitivity, and the tests are conducted in independent, certified laboratories.

Why Body Glide instead of baby powder or creams?

Powders are messy and easily rubbed away, and creams often go on messy, wet, and goopy. Body Glide brand balms go on smooth and stay where you put them. With our solutions, you won’t be putting any petroleum, mineral or other oils, lanolin or other animal products on your skin. Our products are safe and do not ruin rubber, neoprene, or other gear. They stay where you put them, last longer, and come off easily with mild soap.

Natural, tested

Our proprietary formulas are made with ingredients that come from plants. We use natural waxes that work for skin the same way they help plants retain moisture. Independent, certified laboratories test our products—on human volunteers, not animals. We have never used animal products, and our solutions are hypoallergenic.

Technically advanced

We don’t use old school, greasy, messy petroleum, lanolin, or mineral oils – ingredients that sit on the top of the skin, slide around, and need frequent reapplication.
