Climbing chalk

— sports magnesium (also used in mountaineering and rock climbing) is a magnesium salt used to remove moisture and oil from the skin of the hands. This, in turn, increases the reliability of the grip.

Nowadays, magnesia can be produced in the form of powder or liquid. The second option is considered more advanced, since the protective layer from the liquid composition lasts longer on the skin. The disadvantage of this form of release is that after processing the hands, you need to wait several minutes for drying.
