About three years ago, our CEO, Kevin Brown, got a nasty split that just wouldn't heal. It was one of those frustrating injuries that stops you from getting on the wall and makes you wonder if all the "remedies" you've been using are even doing anything. He was using everything a climber is supposed to use, but nothing seemed to work. So, he did what any good scientist would do: he went to the experts.
His research began not in a climbing gym, but in a dermatologist's office. He learned a fundamental truth that would change everything: the creams and balms most climbers use are great for hydration, but they do very little to speed up deep skin growth. The real cutting-edge work on skin healing was being done with burn victims.
The Secret to Skin Growth: It's Deeper Than You Think
Through his research and conversations with three dermatologists who specialize in burn recovery, he learned that after a burn victim’s skin forms a seal or a scab on the surface, the real focus shifts to getting the skin to grow from the inside out. Your dermis, the layer of skin that’s actually responsible for new growth, sits about a quarter of an inch below the surface.
This presented a new challenge. How do you get nutrients and compounds all the way down to that layer? The answer lies in special chemicals called penetrators. These compounds act like transporters, delivering nutrients through the outer epidermis to the deeper dermis where new skin cells are born.
The most effective penetrator he found? A compound called Copper-tripeptide-1, which is found in high quantities in a powerful herb called Dragon's Blood. This compound essentially acts as a signal, telling skin-creation cells to go into overdrive and speed up the healing process far beyond what they would do naturally.
The dermatologists were clear: for the compound to be effective, it had to be a premium, high-quality version. Anything less would be a waste of time and money, offering little to no real benefit.
From a Split to a Solution
Armed with this groundbreaking knowledge, Kevin partnered with a cosmetic formulation scientist who had years of experience working with some of the biggest names in the industry. After experimenting with over a dozen different formulas, they finally developed the current formulation for Athletic Hands Restorative Cream.
The results were astonishing. In one real-world test, a friend of Kevin’s ripped a dime-sized flapper on his hand. After using Athletic Hands, the flapper was completely healed in just 3 days, a process that would have taken over a week with other products. The cream even proved to be the only thing that brought relief to a family member who had struggled with severe eczema for years.
We truly believe Athletic Hands is one of the best products we’ve ever made. The science and the results are undeniable. But we know that for a product to succeed, its story has to be told, and its benefits have to be experienced firsthand.
So, if you’re tired of losing valuable climbing days to splits, flappers, and dry, cracked hands, it’s time to try the cream that was made to actually help your skin heal from the inside out.
Experience the difference for yourself. Try Athletic Hands Restorative Cream and get back to crushing faster.
