Movement Changes People

We believe movement changes people.

It gives us confidence.
It gives us goals.
It clears our heads.
It helps us find our people.
And it shows us what we’re capable of.

Movement can be hard.

Sometimes it should be.

But unnecessary friction?

That part doesn’t need to be.

That is why Run Slick exists.

It Started With Chafing

Run Slick started while founder Felipe Niada was training for a full Ironman.

Felipe is a chemical engineer and endurance athlete, and like most people who spend enough hours running, riding, swimming, and sweating, he had dealt with chafing.

He tried the usual products.

Some were greasy. Some were messy. Some disappeared when the miles, sweat, rain, and humidity started adding up.

So he decided to make something better.

The goal was simple:

Create something easy to apply, clean on the skin, long-lasting, and good enough that once you started moving, you could forget it was there.

After a lot of formulation work, testing, failed versions, adjustments, and very long days outside, Run Slick was born.

Built to Disappear

Run Slick is a clear, quick-drying, non-greasy anti-friction roll-on made for movement.

Thighs.
Bra lines.
Underarms.
Waistbands.
Pack straps.
Wetsuits.
Anywhere rubbing gets in the way.

Roll it on.

Let it dry.

Then forget about it.

Because the product should not become part of the experience.

The movement should.

Tested Where It Matters

We test Run Slick in the lab.

But that is only part of it.

It has also been tested through Southern heat and humidity, heavy rain, long training days, triathlons, trail races, ultramarathons, and a 100-mile race through Georgia.

Because if we say something is built for movement, we believe it should be tested while moving.

We’re Still Building

Run Slick started with chafing.

But we don’t want to stop there.

We want to understand where friction gets between people and movement—and see where we can help remove it.

For a runner, that might be thigh chafing at mile 18.

For a hiker, it might be a pack strap rubbing all day.

For someone using a prosthetic, wheelchair, brace, or other mobility equipment, friction may look completely different.

We do not pretend to have all of those answers yet.

We are listening.

We are learning.

And we are building.

However You Move

You might be chasing a Boston qualifier.

Walking your first mile.

Hiking somewhere you’ve never been.

Returning after an injury.

Working a long shift.

Learning to move differently.

Or simply trying to feel more comfortable in your own body.

We want Run Slick to help you keep moving.

Because movement changes people.

And while the challenge can be hard, the miles can be hard, and life can be hard—

unnecessary friction doesn’t have to be.

Hard is okay. Unnecessary friction isn’t.
