ingredient deep dive: why MOVE works before, during and after sport
At MOVE, we believe sports care only works when ingredients actually do something. No vague promises, but ingredients backed by research. In this ingredient deep dive, we explain why our products work, and how they support an active lifestyle before, during and after exercise.
warm up: activate and prepare
Warm-Up Body Spray
The foundation of our Warm-Up Body Spray is Magnesium PCA, combined with Capsicum.
Magnesium PCA
Magnesium plays a key role in muscle function, energy production and micro-circulation. MOVE uses Magnesium PCA, a form that is better absorbed through the skin than traditional magnesium salts. Topical magnesium supports muscle relaxation and circulation without stressing the digestive system.
Capsicum (capsaicin)
Capsicum creates a mild warming sensation on the skin. This activates nerve receptors and increases blood flow, helping muscles feel ready for movement.
Result: a body that is properly prepared before training or competition.
performance & daily care: fresh, hydrated and balanced
Refresh & Moisturize Face Spray
Designed for sport moments, but just as effective for daily use.
Cucumber Extract provides a cooling effect and helps reduce redness and puffiness.
Sebustop® (ginger, cinnamon and burnet) helps regulate sebum and limits bacterial growth.
Actibiome® supports a healthy skin microbiome and helps reduce redness.
Aquaxyl® improves the skin’s natural hydration mechanisms.
Result: skin that stays fresh and comfortable, even during or after intense activity.
protect: safe and effective sun protection
Sun Sport Spray SPF30
Our SPF is built around skin-friendly and environmentally conscious ingredients.
Non-nano Zinc Oxide
A mineral UV filter that stays on the skin and reflects UV rays. It does not penetrate the skin and is suitable for sensitive skin types.
Bisabolol
Derived from chamomile, known for its soothing and antioxidant properties.
Pongamia Pinnata Seed Extract
Contains natural UV-absorbing compounds that support sun protection.
Result: reliable sun protection, even during sport.
recover: cool down, restore and relax
Sport Recovery Shower Gel & Body Spray
Recovery is about relaxation, circulation and skin care.
Menthol activates cold receptors in the skin, creating a cooling and refreshing sensation after exercise.
Sea Salts provide essential minerals and help restore skin balance.
Magnesium PCA supports muscle relaxation and recovery.
Arnica is known for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties after physical strain.
Aloe Vera supports skin repair and elasticity.
Lavender Oil contributes to relaxation and mental calm.
Result: faster physical and mental recovery.
in summary
MOVE combines sports science and skincare. Every ingredient has a clear function and is used at the right moment:
before sport → activate
during / daily → care and protect
after sport → recover
That is what makes MOVE different from traditional sports care.
