I make butters and creams for my business unrelated to cycling.... that I have started to use when riding and they work well, but I've never used a commercial one so couldn't compare! Admittedly, I started off using my healing salve for skin irritations and bruising AFTER rides on my tender parts and sun burns, and progressed to actually slathering myself up before a ride.

Ingredients for butter: virgin coconut oil, unrefined shea butter, unrefined cocoa butter, beeswax.

Ingredients for healing salve: (this is off the top of my head) Calendula, Arnica, coconut oil, beeswax, jojoba, essential oils I could not remember them all off hand but it smells delicious and they were the healing ones like lavender, a little clove, geranium, tea tree and a few others.

Very simple to DIY and fun too, if you like to make things.
