bluerub launches hair and body care products for triathletes and swimmers

May 5, 2021

The SWIM collection revives and restores skin and hair with activated charcoal.

Loveland, CO: Today, bluerub, a natural body care company for all athletes, announced their SWIM collection: three products that remove chlorine, salt, and bromine from skin and hair.  They also restore pH and protect hair and skin from the effects of salt water and pool chemicals.

bluerub worked directly with triathletes to develop this product line. They wanted a natural and sustainable solution to undo the damage pools and salt water can do. With three products in the SWIM Collection, triathletes, swimmers, and divers now have products that work.  “WASH, NOURISH, and DEEP,” says Dave Veldhuizen, co-owner and CEO of bluerub, “were born from necessity. Chlorine and salt wreck havoc on skin, scalp and hair. Not only do you smell like you’ve been in the pool, the pH of hair and skin are out of balance, and hair and skin are dry, flaky and itchy.  The SWIM collection takes care of all those issues.”

The collection is built around a vegan activated charcoal base made from sustainable hardwoods to chelate salt, chlorine, and bromine from skin and hair.  Fruit acids gently exfoliate the skin and scalp, and are rich in antioxidants to help soften skin and hair. Essential oils help restore pH and soothe damaged, dry skin and hair.

“I hate how my skin and hair look and feel after my swims,” says professional triathlete and coach Angela Naeth. “When I tried the SWIM collection, I was a bit startled by the black color, but after using it just once, I knew it was a winner. My hair and skin felt and looked great. Plus, I loved how I smelled. It’s now part of my daily routine.”

All three products come in 3.4 oz size that meets TSA guidelines and can easily be stashed in a gym bag or swim kit. They retail for $12 each. For every sale bluerub will plant one tree with One Tree Planted.  The SWIM collection is available online at www.bluerub.com and at select retailers.
