Mission Product
When ultra-endurance athlete Charlie Engle came to us to talk about running across the Sahara Desert , it was clear that he was the definition of an athlete on a MISSION .
After 111 consecutive days in the most grueling terrain on the planet his plea was simple: "In my 30 plus years of training and competing, there has never been a skin care product that has met my needs." Charlie needed products that could keep up with him, and we quickly discovered that he wasn't alone.
We began to hear similar stories from athletes across all sports, men and women, young and old. From amateur walkers and runners to world-class professionals, athletes all faced the same problems; sunscreens that wouldn't stay on and would sting their eyes, moisturizers that left them feeling greasy and anti-friction products that needed constant reapplication.
Finally, after decades of pain, suffering and inadequate skincare products, MISSION Product took action.Teaming up with scientists and skincare industry veterans, we've established an entirely new category-high-performance, athlete-engineered skincare. Engineered in MISSION Labs, the entire MISSION Product line is designed, and has been proven, to meet the specific needs of athletes and sports enthusiasts across all sports. By providing vital nutrients and antioxidants, MISSION Product is the best equipment for your skin, so athletes can focus on their sport and maximize their performance.
ISSION Product also makes an impact off the field by proudly supporting the charities of its athletes.
