WHO WE ARE - OUR STORY SO FAR
I´ve been Surfing for over 20 years.
During this time, I suffered from some episodes of unpleasant and painful rashes and skin wounds caused by friction of the wetsuit.
At the time, the only way to alleviate this problem was to use Vaseline to avoid friction.
Vaseline is a derivative of Petroleum.
In addition to damage neoprene wetsuit, it´s also not very good for the Oceans and Corals, not being a sustainable way to use the planet resources
Find something to protect my skin Surf's aggressions proved to be a useless and inglorious task.
There were none!
The idea was forgotten at the "bottom of the sea" for a good few years and, when i started surfing again, it came up again, just like the wetsuit rash.
Now the concerns were a little different and, together with all the aspects thought about in the past, there was a new concern... the Environmental Awareness.
This was the perfect time to go in search of a formula that could protect my skin and was at the same time innocuous and safe for the environment and the Oceans, using only natural ingredients.
The next big step
So... I dove into the world of ingredients, vegetable oils and waxes, formulas, tests and combinations and found a product that I could use. I threw away the Vaseline jars and started using this new formula on myself. So I thought... What if my friends need it? What if other friends around the world need it too? Why not put this cream in everyone's hands?
After that I started using this cream in almost all my activities. I use it when I ride my bike, when I go to beach, when I play Tennis, when I do hiking, etc.
I got used to taking the aluminum can everywhere. It's INDISPENSABLE whenever I leave my house.
Due to high demand, we started developing two more products, a Repair and Heal cream and a Lipbalm, all derived from the older brother, Tubular Monkey. We spent a few months developing PURESKIN, the Repair and Heal wonder, and LIPPA, the incredible Lipbalm.
One of the things that the clients most liked was the scent of Tubular Monkey so, we used that scent on PURESKIN and LIPPA, also to give the brand an identity.
With these new products we had to give some tweeks to the site and after a while we decided to change everything, start all from scratch and build a new website. We think it brings a better user experience and is way more light than the older one.
So we hope you have a nice time in our website and give us some feedback from your experience with our products or just say "Hi".
We promise we reply!
