Can I use this balm on other body parts, not just the chest and back?

The balm is formulated and tested for application on the chest and back. Its emollient base is designed to soften skin in those areas, which often feel tight after a long day or in dry indoor air. Many users also find it pleasant to apply a small amount to the forearms or shoulders during an evening massage, as the skin there can also benefit from softening. The key practical consideration is the menthol content, which creates a distinct cooling sensation. For this reason, and as noted in the product cautions, you should always avoid applying it near the eyes, on the face, or on mucous membranes, as the sensation can be very intense and uncomfortable. It should also not be used on irritated, sunburned, or broken skin, as this can cause stinging. As with any new topical product, test on a small area first to ensure compatibility.
