Body balm "Lifebuoy" warming tiger 50g No. 094 - Dr. Retter

What This Balm Is

Dr.Retter "PÄÄSTERÕNGAS" Tiger Balm 50 g is a warming massage balm for joints and muscles, often chosen when the body feels stiff after physical effort, long hours in one position, or exposure to cold. It is designed for areas such as the knees, elbows, shoulders, chest, and the neck and lower back zones, where a warming massage can help the tissues feel looser and more mobile.

Key Ingredients and How They Work

The effect comes from a combination of active components:

• Lanolin (wool wax) — forms a soft, occlusive layer on the skin, helping the balm spread well during massage and slowing moisture loss.
• Cedarwood, pine and eucalyptus essential oils — create a noticeable heat sensation on the surface, which encourages local microcirculation.
• Camphor and menthol — warming aromatic components that build a characteristic "tiger balm" profile: first a fresh aromatic impression, then a deeper heating sensation that develops gradually.

The balm's rich, dense texture stays on the skin long enough for a thorough massage instead of disappearing immediately, which is useful for larger areas like the back or shoulders.

Who Typically Uses It and When

This warming balm is usually chosen by people who want to:

• Prepare muscles before physical activity
• Ease post-exercise stiffness
• Make self-massage more effective in colder seasons
• Relieve tension in the neck-shoulder area or lower back after long hours sitting, driving, or working at a desk

Important Notes Before Use

• Apply only to intact, unbroken skin.
• Test on a small area first if your skin is sensitive.
• Avoid the eye area and mucous membranes.
• Wash hands thoroughly after use.
• If the warming effect feels too intense, discontinue use.
