The Mat Always Wins. Your Skin Doesn't Have To.
Every round is skin on skin, skin on gi, skin on mat. Friction burns, abrasions, and torn knuckles are part of the deal — and an open cut is a week off the mat if you let it get ugly.
Sweat and grime first. Shared mats and a soaked gi are the fastest way to a problem. What you wash off in the first ten minutes after class matters more than anything you put on later.
Then the skin. Mat burn on the feet and elbows, grip-torn knuckles, and cracked fingertips from gi grips all need care overnight, not next week.
Then the joints. Fingers, wrists, knees, and shoulders take hundreds of grips and scrambles a week. The people still rolling at forty are the ones who warm up, wrap up, and warm down.
Cleanse. Care. Recover. Cover.
1. Cleanse After Every Roll
Plant-based Castile Wash with tea tree oil for the shower after class, and Cleanse spray for hands, feet, and gear when a shower is an hour away. Wash off the mat before it settles in.
2. Care for Mat Burn and Splits
Split stick with dragon's blood and tea tree oil on small cuts and mat burn, Split+ whipped balm for torn knuckles and rough gi-grip fingers, and Repair Cream overnight to rebuild worn skin before the next class.
3. Warm Up, Wrap Up, Warm Down
Warming Massage Cream — capsaicin, arnica, ginger, turmeric, willow bark, and magnesium — before class to loosen up and after to recover. Rhinos' Own tape for fingers and toes, and an acupressure ring for grip-tired hands.
4. Cover Up
The Chey "The Boss" Bowers Signature Series Rashguard: UPF 50, four-way stretch, flatlock seams, and a second-skin fit that keeps mat burn and abrasion off your torso through every round.
The Boss Bundle
The mat routine in one kit: Cleanse to wash off the mat after class, Repair Cream to rebuild abraded, worked-over skin overnight, and Hydrate to bring moisture back to skin the gi and the mat dried out.
Everything is plant-based and made in our 100% solar-powered facility in Redmond, Oregon.
