So, what is chamois?
Chamois, also known as chamois butter or chammy butter, is a popular ingredient in the world of cycling and endurance sports. This creamy substance is made from a blend of natural oils, including shea butter and tea tree oil, and is designed to reduce friction and prevent chafing on the skin. Chamois butter is typically applied to areas prone to irritation, such as the groin and inner thighs, and can provide long-lasting comfort during extended periods of activity. In addition to its practical benefits, chamois butter often has a pleasant aroma and is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.
