Craft
True gear excellence transcends mere technical specifications. While algorithms and simulations are valuable tools, the ultimate performance, reliability, and feel of our equipment are cultivated through hands-on craftsmanship, meticulous testing in real-world conditions, and a deep, intuitive understanding of the mountaineer's needs.
We come from Mexico and Latin America, and we celebrate the knowledge of the natural world and ancestral practices with botanicals in these places, reflected in our formulas. We’re obsessed with innovation and what's working in barrier science globally, and ask: how do we achieve that level of performance for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes that need performance-level formulations? Nothing leaves our lab until we field test it. We climb, ride, and bring our crew along to do the same. We gather feedback from athletes across disciplines: climbers, snowboarders, skiers, divers, and backpackers. Until we get it right. We formulate for skin health, not skincare. We build for what your skin needs to keep you outside, doing more of what you love.

Madecassoside
Naturally derived from Centella asiatica
Extracted from Centella asiatica, a flowering herb long used in Ayurvedic and traditional East Asian medicine.

Ceramide complex
Regionally derived from SOUTHERN MEXICO
Ceramides are lipid molecules that occur naturally in the outermost layer of the skin, forming the critical mortar between cells that holds moisture in and irritants out. As ceramide levels decline with age and environmental exposure, this concentrated complex replenishes the barrier — restoring resilience, reducing sensitivity, and locking in hydration at the source.
SKIN RECOVERY BENEFITS
1
Helps restore a compromised skin barrier
2
Reduces transepidermal water loss
3
Improves long-term skin resilience
