If you have ever raced cyclocross there is an excellent chance you have tried a warming embrocation product. Getting and keeping your skin and muscles warm before exposing yourself to the elements makes perfect sense. European crossers and pro road riders have been using such products for years and Castelli, with their ties to pro cycling, and push to better support all-season cycling and cyclocross, have introduced a skin care series that includes a Warming Embro Cream that works as well as any we have tried, but also has a cleaner, less oily finish.

Castelli has worked with Linea Pelle to develop their skin care line, and the practical, effective applicator keeps things clean and manageable in your gear bag. The cream contains 80% plant based products, and will not harm the synthetic fibers of your favorite cycling gear. For best results, apply to skin shortly before heading out. Allow the non-greasy formula to cover and adhere to the skin. You will feel the warming via capillary action in the skin. Many pros use warming products instead of arm or leg warmers in more mild conditions, but for cross, the time it takes to get from the warm up zone to the the call-up and actual start can be crucial. You don't want to get warm, then cool down waiting to start. Warming Embro Cream is your "bridge" and keeps you prepped and comfortable before you blow up your heart rate on the first lap. Light soap and water after your event or ride will wash the product away. We recommend you carefully wash or wipe your hands after application to reduce the risk of eye irritation. Castelli's Warming Embro Cream goes on thin and doesn't leave you, your clothing or bag an oily mess. Get warm for maximum effort with Castelli.
