Product Description
Mile 18 of a marathon. Hour four on the bike. Midway through an open water swim. That's when chafing hits — and by then, the damage is done. Inner thighs rubbed raw, wet suit destroying your neck, toes blistered inside your shoes...not good.
Premax Anti Friction Balm for Men is a lightweight, non-greasy anti-chafe balm formulated to match the pH and oil levels of male skin, delivering hours of invisible, sweat-resistant protection during the most demanding training and racing conditions. Tested by world-class ultra-endurance athletes across triathlon, running, and cycling, it works with your skin — not just on top of it.
pH-Matched for Men's Skin – Male skin is thicker, oilier, and has a different pH than female skin. Premax formulated this balm to align with those characteristics, ensuring better absorption and longer-lasting protection than unisex products that try to do both.
Invisible, Endurance-Grade Barrier – Beeswax and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (a coconut-derived moisturizer) team up with Soya Bean Oil to create a friction-reducing barrier that blends into skin completely. It's sweat-resistant and water-resistant — built for heat, humidity, and hours of repetitive movement.
Natural Ingredients That Do Double Duty – Tea Tree Oil and Aloe Vera soothe skin and support its natural balance during intense activity. Mandarin Peel and Bergamot oils deliver a clean, subtle citrus scent without any medicinal or synthetic smell.
The angled-tip applicator puts balm exactly where you need it — toes, heels, thighs, nipples, under arms, wetsuit neckline — without getting your hands greasy. It's petroleum-free, so it won't degrade your wetsuit or stain your kit.
How to Use Premax Anti Friction Balm for Men
Before training: Apply to clean, dry skin anywhere you experience friction — toes, heels, inner thighs, nipples, under arms, chest strap line, or wetsuit neckline. The angled tip gives you precise, mess-free application.
Reapply at the 2-hour mark, especially in high heat or humidity. A little goes a long way.
Pro tip: For triathlon, apply around your wetsuit neckline before the swim — it also helps with faster wetsuit removal in transition.

Premax Anti Friction Balm for Men FAQ's
Everything you need to know before getting started.
The men's formula is pH-matched to the naturally higher oil levels and different acidity of male skin. The women's version uses different botanical ingredients (Evening Primrose Oil, Rosehip Oil) suited for female skin and is additionally formulated for safe use in more sensitive areas.
Anywhere you experience friction — toes, heels, inner thighs, nipples, under arms, chest strap line, and around wetsuit necklines. The angled-tip applicator lets you target specific spots without mess.
Highly effective for up to 2 hours of activity. In extreme heat, humidity, or high-intensity conditions, reapply at the 2-hour mark. For shorter sessions, one application should last the entire workout.
Yes. Apply directly to nipples before your run. The beeswax barrier provides reliable friction protection that outlasts tape in humid conditions and won't pull off mid-run.
Anti Friction Balm is thicker and designed for targeted application on specific chafe-prone spots. Chamois cream has a lighter consistency for broader coverage across larger areas like the chamois pad. Both prevent friction, but they serve different zones and use cases.
