Q: If Primo Chalk moisturizes, is it oily?
A: No, it is not oily. Most people describe it as light and airy compared to normal athletic chalk.
Q: Is it messy?
A: Primo Chalk is exceptionally light and fine. This helps it perform and stay on your hands. A little goes a long way, a pinch or two for a whole session is all you need. We recommend using our Chalk Balls and Bucket Topper to reduce mess even further.
Q: Other than chalk, do you add anything else to the mixture?
A: Our chalk is not like the others – We add our proprietary mixture of organic essential oils that make our chalk not only antibacterial, but also skin conditioning, we include Epson Salt, and the perfect amount of isopropyl alcohol to balance with the oils .
Q: Is Primo Chalk tested for purity?
A: Yes, we use an independent lab to verify that our magnesium carbonate is free from heavy metals and dioxins before starting our mixture.
Q: How long does this chalk last when applied?
A: Our chalk lasts 3-5x as long as other chalk and requires about half the number of applications as plain magnesium carbonate.
Q: How far does Primo Chalk go compared to regular chalk?
A: Because our chalk stays on your hands longer, it’s reasonable to say that 2 oz of Primo Chalk will go as far as 6-10 oz of regular chalk. As always, individual usage depends on the conditions you’re using it in.

Q: Is Primo Chalk really worth the cost?
A: We think so. Our chalk contains proven ingredients that kill staph and other bacteria. This blend also protects and conditions your hands while reducing rips and tears all while improving your grip. Our raw materials are always tested to avoid impurities, drying agents, heavy metals, and other fillers. All of this and it lasts longer and requires about 1/4th fewer applications than our competitors.
Q: Does your product contain antibiotics?
A: No! Primo Chalk contains ZERO antibiotics or drugs. Instead, organic plant extracts are used to inhibit bacterial growth.
Q: Chalk is inert, non-metabolite, and sterile. Why add anything to it?
A: It’s true that chalk is not going to harbor any sort of micro-organisms on its own. However, as people dip and re-dip in the bowl, the chalk stops being sterile because it’s been exposed to sweat, skin, oil, and germs. That bacteria will stick around on bars, climbing walls, in the bowl, etc., and can eventually cause infection and make you ill.
Q: Aren’t antibacterial products considered bad?
A: We use organic essential oils instead of a chemical additive, to avoid microorganisms from adapting.
Q: Which sports can I use Primo Chalk for?
A: Our chalk is appropriate for any sport where hand chalk is used or any sport where you’d like to use Primo. This includes weight training, lifting, climbing, and more. Professional athletes who play tennis and baseball may also benefit from our chalk, assuming it’s not against regulation.
Primo Chalk is also useful in any sport where a chalk block is typically used to dry the hands. In this case, you can replace the standard block with a chalk ball or loose chalk.
