Flower Power wax by Effetto Mariposa is a drip chain lube manufactured in part using oil from Sunflower seeds.

It's water-based, so it's totally green and biodegradable. Which a lot of strong-performing wax chain lubes now.

It doesn't run as cleanly as CeramicSpeed All conditions, for example, it will appear dirty after some use, but it has a 600km reapplication interval. much longer than the SuperSecret or All Conditions lubes, making it ideal if you do a lot of riding or want to go longer between reapplications.

It also performed fantastically in Zero Friction testing, like the other products here. If a spotless drivetrain isn't a deal breaker for you, and you want a longer reapplication period, this could be the product for you.
