The Roll-On
for the rest of your body SportShield® Liquid Roll-On applies a smooth, thin invisible coating to the skin. This coating will eliminate or greatly minimize the friction that causes blisters, chafing and irritation.
Use on any part of the body! SportShield® Roll-On is most effective when used in places where skin is subjected to rubbing and at pressure points created by clothing and equipment. Some common areas include:
- between the arms and sides of the body
- between upper thighs
- groin
- over nipples
- around back of heels
- tops of toes
ALL DAY LONG PROTECTION.
SportShield® Roll-On performs with you under the most gruelling conditions. It even works under wetsuits! SportShield® Roll-On will not rub off, but it is easily removed with soap and water, leaving absolutely no residue.
GOOD FOR YOU, GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
SportShield® Roll-On is a silicone-based product. It is non-staining, non-toxic, non-greasy, and can be used daily. It contains no animal products (as others do).
Note: This is also available as a powder named Blister Shield
We've been waiting more than 8,000 years for this solution!
Since human beings began walking we have relied heavily on the health of our feet. The earliest record of anyone using shoes was discovered in what is now Missouri Native Americans appear to have worn foot coverings 8,000 years ago. As soon as people started to cover their feet, they began to experience friction from those coverings. Blisters soon followed.
Since then, men and women have tried to limit the effects of friction on the foot. All sorts of applications have been tried.
It took an athlete with a PhD in chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to realize what was needed. The solution would have to:
- Dramatically reduce friction
- Shield the skin without forming a sticky coating
- Remain effective over long periods of activity
- Allow moisture transfer through the skin
- Not be affected by moisture.
BlisterShield®/SportShield® do all that!
Other, so called "all natural", blister prevention products on the market are derived from plant and animal fats, and function similarly to greases and ointments like petrolatum. Most inorganic powders absorb moisture and reduce friction: however, as they absorb moisture their effectiveness in reducing friction declines.
