We recently receivd the following question:   What is your grindstone made of? I don't really like traditional pumice stones and was wondering how yours was different?   Great question! Here is our answer: It’s a synthetic punice called foam glass. It’s lighter and more poreous than a natural vulcanic rock pumice. Our stone has been designed to function like fine grit sand paper. It works best when saturated with water.

A question we get asked frequently is how did we come up with our potent hand fixing formula?   Answer: Our mad scientist was in the lab for months concocting an entirely propietary blend of essential oils and other botanicals to come up with two potent skin repairing formulations. We’re not sure how he did it, but there were lasers and lightning bolts involved?

Fortune favors the brave. A FREE RIPT kit went to anyone willing to take our 50 Pull-up Challenge. A few CrossFitters accepted and a few now have happy CrossFit hands from their effort… including this guy.

One of our most frequently asked questions is how long does a kit last? Here is a RIPT Skin Systems GRINDSTONE after over 6 months of use compared to a fresh out of the package stone. This is with almost daily use in the shower… not because we don’t shower…

What does your hand look like after swinging a kettlebell a few hundred times? Like this we bet.

Hi Jodi, Unfortunately, we have had so much demand for RIPT that we have to dedicate all our production runs to the full kit. At some point we will be being selling a refill kit of just the tubes. Get into our Early Warning System to be one of the first to find out when! Cheers.

Does anyone else have a hand transformation similar to this? We’d love to hear about it. Send us a photo reply.

International customers: We have heard your complaints that shipping from our Canadian warehouse costs more than our product. To get RIPT onto your hands, we are offering $10 International Shipping to our UK, EU, and AUS fans via Canada Post Small Packet Air. Please note that to get this lower priced shipping option, you may have to wait 4-10 business days to get your RIPT products. We hope to have a cheaper and faster option up and running in the not too distant future. Spread the word.
