Kennedy KS Skin Creme for Wrestlers 18 oz — Non-Greasy, Non-Slip Protective Barrier

Kennedy KS Skin Creme is an 18-ounce, non-greasy protective skin crème made for wrestlers to create a temporary barrier against contaminants during practices and matches.

Kennedy KS (formerly Kenshield) has been used by wrestling programs since 1993. Formulated to be easy to apply, non-slip, and safe for use across the body, this larger 18 oz can provides enough product to cover a season of practices and competitions. KS is intended to be applied before activity—ideally by an athletic trainer or a teammate using a buddy system—to help ensure full, even coverage.

How should KS Skin Creme be applied for best coverage?

Apply KS to clean, dry skin from the waist up and to singlet areas, including spots covered by clothing like the stomach and back. For consistent protection, have a trainer or a partner help apply the crème so no area is missed.

• Use on face, neck, scalp, arms, torso, legs, shoulders and back.
• Apply before every practice and before each match in multi-match events.
• Ensure skin is dry and cooled down; KS doesn’t adhere well to wet or sweaty skin.
• Buddy system or trainer application helps guarantee full, even coverage.

How long does one application last and when should I reapply?

One application of KS can be effective for up to about four hours under normal conditions. In tournament settings where athletes compete over many hours, reapply before subsequent matches to maintain the barrier effect.

• Apply before each match if events span several hours.
• Reapply after cooling down and drying off to ensure adherence.
• An 18 oz can typically provides enough product for an entire season for one wrestler.

Will KS interfere with performance or equipment grip?

No—KS is formulated to be non-slip so it does not impede an athlete’s grip or an opponent’s ability to wrestle. The non-greasy texture minimizes residue while allowing free movement during competition.

• Non-greasy finish avoids sticky buildup on skin and clothing.
• Non-slip formulation maintains grip and mobility.
• Designed to be compatible with standard wrestling attire and protective gear.

How should KS be removed after use?

After practice or competition, shower with a quality hair and body cleanser to remove KS from skin and hair. Using a dedicated athletic cleanser helps wash away the crème without irritating the skin.

• Shower after activity with a hair and body cleanser.
• Use SPORT Hair & Body Cleanser or a similar product for best results.
• Regular post-activity hygiene keeps skin clean and comfortable.

Who is this for: Kennedy KS Skin Creme is intended for wrestlers, coaches, athletic trainers, and wrestling programs seeking a season-sized, easy-to-apply skin barrier. It’s particularly useful for teams that participate in tournaments and multi-match events where frequent reapplication and full-body coverage are important. The 18 oz can is sized for athletes who need consistent, reliable product throughout a season without frequent repurchasing.
