Common Questions
Can tallow replace anti-chafe sticks?
It can work similarly for many users by adding a protective layer, though texture preference varies by activity and climate.
Should I use cream or balm for friction areas?
Balm is usually better pre-activity due to density, while whipped cream works well for post-activity moisture.
