Fragrance-free means no scent at all.

No perfume and no masking scent, in any formula. Nothing to explain at the job site.

And nothing slick on your tools. The balm and moisturizer sink in fast, so a wrench feels the same as before.

What's in every bottle.

Tap a name to see what it does. Every product page has the full list.

Face Wash

Coco-glucoside. A mild cleanser that lifts grease and grime without the tight, stripped feel of bar soap.

Glycerin. Holds water in the skin so it does not dry out after washing.

Oat kernel extract. Calms skin that is raw from wind and sun.

Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 30

Zinc oxide. The mineral sunscreen. Sits on the skin and helps prevent sunburn.

Squalane. Moisturizes without a greasy film.

Niacinamide. Helps skin that is rough from wind and weather feel smoother.

Repair Balm

Shea butter. Softens thick, cracked skin.

Beeswax. Seals in moisture so cracked skin stays soft.

Lanolin. Moisturizes rough fingertips and knuckles.

Illustrative stories written for this site, not customer reviews.

  • Every January my fingertips split by the second week. I started putting the balm on before bed. This is the first winter I haven’t taped them.

  • I quit sunscreen years ago because it ran into my eyes by ten. This one stays where I put it. The tube lives in the truck door.

    Marco T., roofer, Tucson, AZ

  • My wife bought the kit. I said I’d try it to be polite. That was eight months ago. No smell, so nobody at the shop has said a word.

Buying it as a gift.

Most men who work outside won't buy skincare for themselves, so a lot of Holworth is bought for them. Father's Day and December are the big ones.

The wash gets your face clean. The balm softens rough hands. The moisturizer keeps skin from drying out. That's the whole job: it's skincare, not a treatment.

Will it make my tools slip?

No. Repair Balm is gone from the surface in about a minute, and Daily Defense sinks in fast. Nothing slick is left on your hands.

Does fragrance-free still smell like something?

Nothing is added to make it smell, and there is no masking scent. Up close the balm smells a little like beeswax, because it has beeswax in it.

Will the sunscreen sting my eyes?

Daily Defense uses mineral zinc oxide, which sits on the skin instead of running with your sweat. Keep it out of your eyes like any sunscreen.
