Newly Formulated Chafe Paint® and Taint Paint®—More Than Meets the Eye

Summertime is when the sun shines, and so do we. But here we are, out there exploring trails, pounding pavement, or gardening out in the sun, and our skin is often caught in the crossfire of heat, sweat, and friction. The discomfort of chafing, irritation, and unpleasantness can creep in when trying to get on with your day. Kanberra® can help you turn friction into freedom. The new Chafe Paint® and Taint Paint® are the same solution, just better armor. We’ve retained all the goodness and ditched the animal-sourced products, with upgraded, vegan-friendly, lanolin-free recipes, and no compromise on the performance you count on. Months in R&D trenches, endless test rides with the Kanberra Cycling Team, feedback from our loyal customers, and ambassadors. They’ve all boiled down to a power product duo that doesn’t just calm your skin, it saves it. 

Whether you’re challenging your body with a strenuous workout, an active job, or a day of yoga and recovery, the right product is key. It should work with your skin, not against it. Our users wanted clean, gentle ingredients, so we delivered. The result is a double dose of powerhouse creams engineered to protect the skin’s natural barrier and actively calm any irritation that can creep in. So what is it that makes these creams more than meets the eye?

A Scientifically Improved Natural Formula

Chafe Paint® and Taint Paint® are made with a toning mixture of 20 (and 21 in Taint Paint) premium all-natural ingredients such as tea tree oil, aloe vera, coconut oil, shea butter, and witch hazel. The ingredients are chosen for their capabilities to nourish, protect, and repair the skin. This new water-based cream formula, which is free from petroleum, mineral oils, alcohol, and other harsh chemicals, won’t clog pores and won’t leave a greasy residue. Thanks to Taint Paint’s added menthol, users also get to experience a cooling sensation that’s ideal for regions prone to heavier irritation.

Every ingredient in the formulation has a specific function, from soothing inflammation to strengthening moisture retention. Together, the anti-friction duo harmoniously combines to offer soothing relief, comfort, and improved skin with continued use. It is not only about preventing damage but also about building long-term skin resilience.

Versatile Uses Beyond Anti-Chafing

While anti-friction relief was the initial motivation for realizing Chafe Paint® and Taint Paint®, their skin benefits are far-reaching:

  1. Tattoo Aftercare and Maintenance: Apply a thin layer daily to support the faster healing of new tattoos and to restore vibrancy to older ink.

  2. Pre-Workout Protection: Protect sensitive skin from the discomfort of friction when skin touches skin or skin rubs against fabric.

  3. Daily Moisturizing: Great on dry, hard patches like knees, elbows, hands, and feet, especially after exfoliating.

  4. Helps with Minor Skin Conditions: The combination of tea tree oil, allantoin, and witch hazel can relieve symptoms related to dry skin and help with eczema, ringworm, and more.

Their non-greasy formula lends itself to daily use, not only athletic endeavors. So you can apply them with confidence at the office, gym, and on long flights, too.

Key Differences Between Chafe Paint® and Taint Paint®

While both creams contain a base of natural, healing ingredients, Taint Paint® contains menthol, resulting in a cooling effect that works great for more sensitive or inflamed areas. This ingredient makes it different from Chafe Paint®, which provides the same skin protection and nourishment without the cooling effect. This distinction enables users to customize their skincare depending on their needs: cooling relief where they want it, neutral comfort everywhere else. It is a system of targeted, purposeful care.

A Legacy of Purity and Performance

Kanberra® products are based on a foundation of quality and trust. Kanberra has spent the last 20 years developing ways to use tea tree oil-based solutions for cleanliness and purity of homes, vehicles, boats, and other items. That same commitment to safety and performance is at the core of our skincare line. We are also proud to use ATTIA (Australian Tea Tree Industry Association) certified tea tree oil, ensuring we source the highest quality ingredients while maintaining the strictest industry standards. Our products are made, packaged, and shipped with care, representative of the high standards that our team exemplifies. We don’t ship anything we wouldn’t use ourselves.
