Soothe busy bodies and support everyday comfort with time-tested balms and lotions trusted for their warming and cooling sensations. Whether you’re easing tense shoulders after a long day or looking for a comforting rub post-activity, our range makes it simple to choose a format and feel that suits your routine.

Warming and cooling care for tense areas

These aromatic formulas are known for their distinctive blend of menthol, camphor, cajuput and clove oils, delivering a comforting sensation to help you get on with your day. If you prefer a fresher feel, the classic White Ointment offers a cooling experience that’s popular for daytime use. For a cosier sensation, Red Ointment brings gentle warmth that many enjoy on the back, neck and legs. You’ll also find compact options like White Balm and Red Balm, handy for keeping in a gym bag or desk drawer.

To use, apply a small amount to the desired area and massage until absorbed. A little goes a long way, and you can repeat up to several times a day as needed. Avoid contact with eyes, lips and broken skin, and remember to wash hands after application. Always check the label for directions and any warnings before first use, and consider a patch test if your skin is sensitive.

Find the right format for your routine

Prefer a lighter texture across larger areas? The fast-absorbing Muscle & Tension Lotion spreads easily and is a convenient choice before or after activity. If you like targeted application, the traditional ointments let you focus on small spots of discomfort and build sensation gradually. Many people keep a cooling option for daytime and a warming option for evenings, so you can switch depending on how you feel.
