Let's talk about what keeps you going when motivation moves out! and a little bit of #momlife

Salty Britches transcended from being a homemade remedy to a recognized anti-chafing product. Amy Tucker, its creator, initially made the product to help her son prevent skin breakdown caused by saltwater. Powered by the unique properties of lanolin and other ingredients like paraffin and plant-based cholesterol, the product is growing up fast in ultrarunning! And we have reason to believe after testing it out on the hot and sweaty Habanero 100 mile race this past August. Cannot argue with those feet pictures!
