A climber-built project from Malaysia

Chalk for
sensitive hands.

I stopped climbing for two years because of what chalk did to my skin. Kapur is my attempt to make a better option for climbers who know that feeling.

01WHY KAPUR EXISTS

I missed climbing.
My hands didn’t.

Standard chalk left my skin angry enough that I walked away from the wall. I kept looking for something made with people like me in mind. I couldn’t find it. So I started asking climbers what they needed.

02WHAT WE’RE WORKING TOWARD

A better chalk
starts with better questions.

The formula is still being tested. These are the things it needs to earn.

01

Grip that earns trust

It has to feel dependable on the wall. A sensitive-skin idea is no good if climbers don’t trust the grip.

02

Thoughtful about skin

Start with a fragrance-free, rosin-free direction and get real feedback from people with sensitive hands.

03

Made for our conditions

Malaysia’s heat and humidity belong in the testing process from day one, not as an afterthought.

These are product goals, not tested claims. Kapur does not treat or prevent eczema or any skin condition.

THE FIRST SEND ISN’T A SOLO

Climbers,
come test
the idea.

I’m looking for climbers with sensitive hands to help challenge the first prototypes. No hype, no finished-product promises. Just honest feedback from the wall.

03GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you ask.

Can I buy Kapur now?

Not yet. Kapur is still in product testing. This page introduces the project and invites climbers to help shape it.

Is it safe for eczema?

We can’t make that promise. Skin responds differently from person to person, and the formula is still being tested. Kapur is not a treatment for eczema or other skin conditions.

What does “tropical” mean here?

It means testing the formula in the warm, humid conditions climbers here actually train in. It’s a design goal, not a performance claim.
