ClimbSkin By Friction Labs Review – Their Labeling is Stupid

I received a container of ClimbSkin from Friction Labs at no cost to me.  There was no request from them for me to review it.  I don’t owe them anything; but part of what I do here at HCRBeta is support entrepreneurs and small businesses.

When I wrote about Friction Labs chalk, I gushed.  It is excellent chalk.  It is a little pricey, too.  However, one principle that I have learned is that the best customers are the ones who recognize the value of expertise.  You don’t have to market to people who consider cheapness a desirable quality.

I’ve got 2 things to say about ClimbSkin:

1. ClimbSkin is Awesome.  It Works Like a Magic Glove That Gives You +10 Protection For Your Skin
2. ClimbSkin’s Labeling is Stupid.  It Will Make Many Consumers Angry (Maybe F.L. didn’t realize there is a big difference in their web language and the actual label.)

Let me get the critical out of the way.  Once they fix their labeling, this article goes away.  So the “ClimbSkin is Awesome” portion of this review is going to be here: (_____).

ClimbSkin Ingredients Labeling

I deserve, as do all consumers, to know what the ingredients are in a product; especially a product that is going to be absorbed into my skin and into my body.

Using the phrase “…just natural ingredients…” is a stupid mistake by ClimbSkin’s marketing team.  Every smart consumer knows that “natural” means nothing.
[You can do your own google research:  “What does natural mean in cosmetics”]

So when I read, on the official Friction Labs ClimbSkin website, I was surprised by the following (notice 8 ingredients):

And then I noticed that the label on the ClimbSkin container I hold in my hands says something entirely different (notice 32 ingredients.)Aqua (water), Aloe barbadensis leaf, glycerin, stearyl alcohol, butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter extract, peg-6 stearate, propylene glycol, Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter, dimethicone, silica, alcoho denat, stearic acid, Hippophae rhamnoides oil, mineral oil, Rosa moschata seed oil, glyceryl stearate, phenoxyethanol, Styrax benzoin resin extract,  ceteth-20, steareth-20, Argania spinosa kernel oil, imidazolidinyl urea, allantoin, polyquaternium-7, Centella asiatica extract, Achillea millefolium flower extract, ethylhexylglycerin, Croton lechleri resin extract, bht, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, sodium hydroxide.

I am not a skin care expert.  I am not a chemist.  I am not an alarmist.  But hey, Friction Labs, there is something here that does not make sense.

This is stupid labeling or marketing (or maybe just a simple mistake).

I am going to leave it at that.  There is a disconnect between the actual label on ClimbSkin and the marketing description on the ClimbSkin website.

Some consumers will choose not to use ClimbSkin because they don’t agree with the ingredients.   And that is okay.

Friction Labs just needs to correct their labeling.

ClimbSkin Works Like a Magic Glove That Gives you +10 Protection For Your Skin

Richard Lonski told me about ClimbSkin by Friction Labs.  He said something like:

“~Hey Jason, I just finished my birthday challenge (ran a marathon, then climbed dozens or hundreds of laps). I would not have been able to climb that much without Climbskin.  My hands are not even sore.  You should review it on your website.~”

I had my doubts.

First of all, there is no way that Richard climbed all day long and didn’t toast his hands.

Secondly, I read that you put on ClimbSkin BEFORE you climb.  What kind of nut does that?  I was told for these 10 years that I have been a climber, that you don’t put anything on your hands except chalk before you climb.  You shouldn’t even wash your hands because that will soften your calluses and might cause them to rip while you are climbing.

Thirdly, there are so many skin types – too many variables that determine your skin or callus strength.  You hit a hold wrong and you are tearing no matter what.  No lotion or salve is going to save you in all situation.

But I formulated an experiment and was blown away…and that is what I am going to write about in the “ClimbSkin is Awesome” article.  Here is a preview in case you didn’t see it on FB.
