Anyone who works in water knows how chlorine’s effects can linger. While pool water is treated to safe levels, chlorine often leaves skin feeling dry, irritated and with an unmistakable smell that can last for hours. Vitamin C offers a natural solution to neutralising these effects.
How Vitamin C neutralises chlorine on your skin
Chlorine binds to the natural oils in your skin, stripping moisture and causing irritation. Vitamin C works to break down chlorine molecules, reducing the damaging effects and lingering smell. This protective action allows your skin to stay healthy and hydrated, even after extended exposure to pool water.
Indigenous knowledge meets modern science
Indigenous Australians have long understood the value of lilly pilly, Kakadu plum, and Davidson plum for their high Vitamin C content and healing properties. Modern research now validates what has been known for generations. My Swim Cream takes the potent combination of these three native fruits to harness the benefits of Vitamin C within the barrier it forms, which unlike other products, stays on your skin without impacting pool water quality.
Looking ahead
As awareness of skin protection grows in the aquatics and swimming sectors, so does the need for effective, sustainable solutions. With My Swim Cream, we’re setting new standards in workplace health and safety to ensure that skin protection is a vital part of the conversation.
