The Original Muscle Mender™ Balm for Bodies That Move—And Sometimes Hurt

Originally created over two decades ago for spa therapists to use in deep tissue massage, our Muscle Mender™ Organic Massage Balm blends time-honored botanicals with targeted essential oils to ease minor aches, bruises, and soreness. It quickly became a customer favorite for its ability to bring comfort where it counts—without a greasy finish.

This balm begins with organic shea butter and creamy coconut oil, infused over several weeks with organic comfrey and arnica—herbs traditionally used to support bruising and injury recovery. We then blend in pure essential oils specifically chosen for their therapeutic action, as well as organic menthol crystals (from organic peppermint) and white camphor oil, for a cooling, penetrating effect. Every ingredient is chosen with intention—to absorb smoothly, nourish the skin, and help carry therapeutic actives deep into the tissue. No synthetic ingredients. No petroleum. Ever. The result is a pleasant, herbal-medicinal scent that isn’t overpowering.

Muscle Mender™ is formulated to offer just enough “slip” for massage and bodywork, but sinks in deeply to nourish skin and comfort sore muscles. And while it was originally created for sports massage, it’s equally helpful for soothing sore shoulders from the garden, computer neck, or general everyday stiffness.

Over the years, many have tried to imitate it—but loyal customers always come back to tell us: “It’s just not the same.”
We’re proud to offer the one and only original Muscle Mender™—still handmade with the same care and ingredients as the day we introduced it all those years ago.

FAQ: Muscle Mender™ Organic Massage Balm

What makes Muscle Mender™ different from other muscle balms?
Muscle Mender™ was originally created for professional spa therapists, and it shows—in both performance and purity. It’s infused with organic herbs like arnica and comfrey, blended with pure essential oils and natural menthol from organic peppermint. No synthetic ingredients. No petroleum. Just real plant-based support for sore muscles.

Is it greasy or oily?
Nope. Muscle Mender™ is designed to absorb beautifully—just enough “slip” for massage, but no sticky or greasy residue. It leaves skin soft, nourished, and comfortable.

Does it contain petroleum or mineral oil?
Never. Our balm is 100% free of petroleum, petrolatum, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, and artificial preservatives.

Can I use it for everyday aches, not just after workouts?
Absolutely. Whether you’re sore from gardening, typing, caregiving, or just living in a body that occasionally hurts—Muscle Mender™ was made for you.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Many customers with sensitive skin use it without issue, but as always, we recommend a patch test first. It contains potent essential oils and natural menthol, which may be too intense for some.

Do you offer this in other formats?
Yes! The Muscle Mender™ collection includes a silky Massage & Body Oil, a Spa Soak with herbal Sea salts, a smoothing therapeutic Salt Scrub, and a convenient Twist-Up Balm stick. Explore the full Muscle Mender Collection here.
