Skin pH varies between individuals, with women typically registering a more neutral reading than men. This matters for chamois creams because products formulated for more acidic skin can create irritation when used on neutral-pH tissue during extended contact under pressure. Chamois Butt'r Her addresses this through a pH-balanced formula developed by a female sports medicine physician working with professional women cyclists who needed a cream that matched their skin chemistry rather than fighting against it.

The formulation combines aloe vera, green tea leaf extract, tea tree oil, shea butter, and lavender oil as primary skin-conditioning agents beyond the base lubricating ingredients. These botanicals deliver naturally occurring properties that soothe irritation while creating the friction barrier between skin and chamois pad. The non-greasy consistency spreads easily whether you apply it directly to skin or work it into the chamois pad surface before pulling on shorts, and the eight-ounce tube provides controlled dispensing without getting product under your fingernails or contaminating the remaining cream.

Chamois Butt'r tested the Her formula for over a year with riders who experienced sensitivity issues with standard chamois creams, focusing specifically on whether the pH-balanced approach reduced irritation during multi-hour efforts. The product works for anyone regardless of gender, but the formulation specifically targets the skin chemistry and sensitivity patterns that female riders experience more frequently. The water-soluble formula washes out of technical cycling shorts and off skin with regular soap and water, avoiding residue buildup in chamois pad materials that can reduce their moisture-wicking effectiveness over repeated use....
