Skin sensitivity

Skin that reacts to alcohol, fragrance, rosin, or something else in a bottle.

People differ. Alcohol stings broken skin. Fragrance and rosin cause reactions in some users and none in others. A listing that says "skin friendly" has not tested your skin.

If a bottle reddens or itches, stop. Try a product whose ingredients you can read, or use plain magnesium carbonate with no scent. Patch-testing a dab on the forearm before a full session is a low-cost check.

Climbskin Hand cream

Not stated in the November 14 title.

Hand cream for dry, worked hands. Use it after you wash chalk off, not before you train.

Lotion on the hands before a session makes chalk fail. Nighttime is the right time.

Chalkless Grip Enhancer

Not stated in the November 14 title.

Chalkless calls this a liquid-chalk alternative and a less-mess grip enhancer for lifting, climbing, and other grip sports. It is not sold under a magnesium-carbonate chalk title.

Use it where a gym bans chalk entirely, and do not assume a meet that allows magnesium carbonate has allowed this formula.
