The four-year agreement is set to run until June 2026, with Dermatone providing products for luge athletes, coaches and staff.

Dermatone is now the official supplier of frostbite protection, lip balm and sunscreen for USA Luge and US Ski and Snowboard.

"We welcome Dermatone to the USA Luge family," said Gordy Sheer, director of marketing and sponsorships for USA Luge.

"As our teams and staff travel the world to compete, we encounter every kind of weather imaginable. 

"Dermatone’s products will help in our focus of long-term health and safety."

Dermatone chief executive Doug Metchick added: "Supporting the athletes in their training and competition is a natural fit for Dermatone.

"Whether it’s brutal cold and wind in Altenberg, or the dry, sunny altitude of Park City, we want to make sure the team is well protected."

Dermatone has offered sunscreen and skin protection for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts since its creation in 1981.

As well as supplying athletes with its products, USA Luge said Dermatone would also support programmes including the Luge Challenge, Running of the Balls and Fantasy Camp.

Last November, US Ski and Snowboard announced a partnership with Dermatone which is set to run until 2023.
