Performance personal hygiene, made for South African athletes.

SportShield specializes in performance, preventative hygiene solutions that prevent infection while supporting skin cell health.

We empower contact sport athletes to take control of their skin safety by leveraging the best hygiene technology available in South Africa. Our flagship SkinSpray product offers athletes comprehensive, preventative protection against all common skin infections without damaging or drying your skin like harsh soaps.

SportShield’s skin-safe spray is:

Effective: killing common pathogens that threaten your training, including viruses, bacteria, and fungus
Preventative: providing the only preventative solution against skin infection for South African athletes
Easy: ensuring no disruption to your training with a non-sticky, non-oily, and quick-drying product

While SportShield SkinSpray is a gym bag essential, we recognize that good hygiene takes a system of daily practices and quality products. We focus on deeply researched education tips and innovative products that solve real hygiene problems for everyday athletes.

Ingredient Spotlight: HOCl

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the active ingredient in our core products, is a naturally-occurring substance produced by the human immune system. HOCl is highly effective at killing pathogens but does not damage your skin's natural barrier like harsh soaps.

Anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and sporicidal
Promotes minor wound healing and reduces inflammation
Non-toxic, safe on sensitive skin, and environmentally friendly for use on surfaces
Naturally odor reducing

SportShield leverages the highest quality HOCl, manufactured in the Mother City. Our product is accredited, lab tested, and specially formulated to balance the efficacy and safety required by contact sport athletes.

We value protection and performance, and understand that trust starts with transparency. Our HOCl formula is tested against international efficacy standards and is quality-certified:

Before training

Apply SportShield SkinSpray before you step on the mats to prevent the spread of germs to others and to protect your own skin. Spray the product on exposed skin, rub in, and allow to dry.

During training

Re-apply SportShield during your training session, and between rounds, for comprehensive protection.

After training

Apply SportShield after training to combat lingering pathogens until you can shower. SportShield is not a replacement for good basic hygiene--it is a valuable additional layer of preventative protection against infection.

Guard your gear

Even though our product is specially formulated for use on skin, SportShield spray can also be used to effectively disinfect gear such as boxing or MMA gloves. Spray down your kit, and then place items in the sun for maximum protection. Don't leave sweaty gear in your gym bag.
