Description

It does help healing a little, and it’s pleasant to use and apply. It felt the most like a conventional hand lotion, and it has the least recognizable ingredients list of the lot. However, the pros don’t outweigh the cons in this case – the residue of this salve is oily, so you’ll have to wait and sit around for about 10 minutes before you can go about your day.

If you continue to climb and train with a flapper, you’ll likely increase the “wound.” In the worst-case scenario, you’ll start bleeding from the area. Granted, it won’t be a LOT of blood, but it’s bad nonetheless. To make matters worse, the oily residue means that it’s impossible to do anything else for about 10 minutes after application. Unless you have the time to sit and wait for your hands to dry, this is a pain. Thoroughly wash your hands in hot soapy water after every climbing session, then rinse properly in cold water To be as consistent as possible, I started with head-to-head testing between various salves. After a given session or two of climbing, I would apply one salve to each hand (after the session and before bed) and look for differences. All in all, the right climbing balm and handcare routine can make your sessions better, safer, and a whole lot more fun.EWG’s Skin Deep Cosmetic Database is a good place for research. If you have room in your budget, I recommend going with a mostly, if not 100%, organic and natural product. 4. Your Intended Purpose: Handcare vs. Restoration The answer depends on how much you value your dollar and your fingertips. The ClimbSkin is a strong performer that feels wonderful on the skin, but other contenders won’t take such big bites out of your wallet.

Recovery-wise, the ClimbOn seemed to produce the most reliable healing. I personally care most about performance outdoors, which means that I like my tips to be ready for a beating. The ClimbOn heals without softening much, which is helpful for maintaining a solid layer of durable skin. The ClimbSkin was the most pleasant to handle of any product in our test. It’s a soft tan cream that’s slightly cool to the touch, and it feels lovely on the skin. There are dozens of amazing climbing salves that you can buy these days, from the premium ones like ClimbOn and ClimbSkin to some of the local mixtures. Here’s how you can choose the best one for yourself. 1. Make a budget. ClimbSkin is another aggressively marketed product courtesy of our friends at FrictionLabs (who sell in the USA for the Spain-based ClimbSkin). Also try to keep your nails trimmed and neat. If you leave your nails to grow too long and then cut them close, your fingertips can feel very sensitive and bruise easily. Attentive climbing skin care is essential to long term performance.None of these are terrible attributes, and in general the O’Keeffe’s cream was pleasant if uninspiring. This is also a salve, but it is not bar-shaped. It is more like a vaseline tin, where you put your finger in and scoop some out. That is probably the main reason why it ranked lower than the bouldering hand creams on this list. Once again the products are natural, with beeswax, almond oil, mango oil, and jojoba all making appearances. Climbing salves are best for restoring fingertips, especially after extreme abuse. They can be helpful, but many climbers get by well without them — don’t worry if you don’t use one. Hard Skin vs. Soft Skin Made with 100% organic blend of essential oils this is a top-end bouldering hand oil. The natural plant extract acts as an anti-inflammatory and also a pain reliever. It’s a great product if you are experiencing finger pain or looking to prevent injuries. ClimbOn is one of the more well-known climbing salve brands, and it turns out the respect is warranted.

We recommend putting it on at night, as once you put it on you don’t want to touch anything for a while. It is not tested on animals either, so that is an added plus. We found it helps skin recover, but does not make it too soft. This is essential when you want to climb hard often. The price is ok too! Here at TopBouldering, it is our favourite. Again, these are differences of degree, but if you’re going to buy a salve, there are better options. How to Choose the Best Climbing Salve for Your Needs We often talk about how intense climbing is – but mostly in the context of muscle toning and strength training. Truth be told, climbing and bouldering are just as tough on our hands, fingers, and skin. We have come to the end of our review of bouldering hand cream, yet all is not lost! We have gathered some of the most frequently asked questions in the section below. Have a look to see if they interest you. What is the best bouldering hand cream?

We often go along with the most popular chalk, but there’s a good chance it isn’t compatible with your skin type. Don’t use climbing chalk with active drying agents unless you tend to have sweaty hands. ClimbOn is the name that resonates when speaking about bouldering hand cream. Although, it is not a cream it is a salve! It is respected the world over, and many boulderers use it. It’s made from 100% natural ingredients, and combines different oils and is suitable for all types of skin. The ingredients list is short and pleasant, and the salve smells gently herbal, but it reminded some testers too much of Burt’s Bees Hand Salve. The hardcore wax-based climbing salves are mostly for severe restoration of the skin. They’re usually applied to hands after a long history of skincare neglect.

Like the Joshua Tree, it’s a soft solid that sits in a tin and allows a fingertip or two to be dipped in at a time. It smells pleasantly citrus-y and it’s easy to apply.
