Are there situations where I should not use this cream?

Yes, there are a few clear restrictions:

• Damaged or irritated skin: do not apply the cream to cuts, scrapes, rashes, or any area where the skin is broken or inflamed. It is intended for intact skin only.
• Eye area: keep the cream well away from the eyes. Since it is applied by hand, wash your hands after each use.
• Reactive or sensitive skin: test a small area first (for example the inner forearm) and wait to see how your skin responds before applying to larger zones like the back.

Beyond these points, a couple of common-sense considerations apply. Because the product gives a warming sensation on the skin, avoid combining it with heat sources such as hot compresses or heating pads on the same area at the same time, as this can intensify the sensation uncomfortably. It is also not a children's product and should be stored out of their reach.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a chronic skin or joint condition, or are under medical treatment, consult a specialist before adding this cream to your routine.
