About
Grippin' Stuff! is a product of So Authentically Me
DON'T LET IT SLIP, GET A GRIP!
The Mission
The idea behind Grippin’ Stuff! Sports Wax was born from years of observing bowls players and athletes rely on gripping creams, sprays and waxes to improve control. Samantha noticed how often these products were heavily applied to hands and equipment — many with strong chemical smells — and how easily they were transferred from hands to mouth during play. This sparked a clear concern about what athletes were absorbing and unintentionally ingesting, and inspired a mission to create a safer, natural alternative.
The Journey
Driven by her belief in natural solutions and her own journey into natural healing, Samantha began researching the ingredients used in existing grip products and found them to be heavily chemical-based. Convinced there had to be a better way, she set out to develop an all-natural sports wax with the same performance benefits — without the harmful additives.
What followed was over eight months of experimentation to develop the initial formula. While effective, the first version did not deliver the level of tackiness required. Determined to create the best possible product, Samantha continued refining and reformulating the wax for a further twelve months. This process ultimately resulted in the perfectly balanced, softer and tackier Grippin’ Stuff! Sports Wax that delivers superior grip with minimal application today.
The Product & Promise
Grippin’ Stuff! is activated simply by rubbing a small amount between the fingertips — less is more. A single 60g tin can last up to 10 months, depending on use. Designed for athletes across multiple sports, it provides reliable grip without harsh chemicals.
The product reflects the values behind it:
- Environmentally friendly
- Skin friendly
- Earth friendly
- Odour free
- Kind to the greens
- Proudly South African
Committed to continual improvement, Samantha also developed a convenient roll-up stick applicator that fits easily into a pocket, making Grippin’ Stuff! even easier to use wherever sport is played.
