Welcome to 2026! Introducing: What’s In / What’s Out
A new year calls for fresh routines, better habits, and more time outside. To kick off 2026, we’re launching a new monthly blog series here at Zealios:
What’s In / What’s Out
We’re not talking trend forecasting. We won’t be chasing the next “it” workout or travel destination. No, we’ll be sticking to two of the things we know best, and what you likely care most about:
High-performance skincare
And getting sweaty outside
The two things at the heart of our company that we know go hand in hand!
WHAT’S IN
When we talk about what’s in, we mean exactly what’s inside our skincare and sunscreen products.
We’ll be spotlighting some of the standout ingredients that make Zealios products so effective for active, outdoorsy, adventurous people. We’ll break down what these ingredients do, how they support skin under real-world stress (sun, sweat, wind, cold, friction,) and why they earned a place in our formulas.
Ingredients chosen for performance so your skin can keep up with your training, adventures, and time outside.
If you’ve ever wondered why a product works (not just that it does), this part’s for you.
WHAT’S OUT
The logical guess might be that we’d follow up “what’s in” with all the things we’re NOT including in our products - parabens, harmful chemicals, cheap fillers, and other stuff your skin doesn’t need. And while it’s true we leave those out, this segment is a little more fun.
Zealios is based in Bend, Oregon, a place no stranger to the many “Top Outdoor Destination” lists floating around the internet - and for good reason. We’ll never tire of bragging about all the incredible trails, rivers, mountains, and wild lands that make up the outdoor playground in our backyard.
WHAT’S OUT will showcase some of our favorite ways to put our products to the test - recreating for fun or fitness (or likely, both), training hard, and enjoying life outdoors.
Consider it equal parts product testing, adventure guiding, and one more reason to visit Central Oregon, if you haven’t already.
We create skincare and sunscreen specifically for those people pushing their training limits and being active outdoors. The ingredients we put in our products are carefully chosen for their performance, so you can perform your best when you take them out with you.
What’s In / What’s Out is our way of showing you how seriously we take both.
