What does the camphor in the formula do, and is it safe for children?

Camphor is one of the classic ingredients of warming rub balms. In this product it has a specific role: it enhances the local feeling of warmth that arises during massage, making it more pronounced and relaxing. The balm's effect is based not on a burning sensation but on a gentle warming background.

As for safety: camphor is an ingredient of many rub balms for children and adults, including those made by well-known European manufacturers. The key condition is observing the age limit. This balm is intended for children aged 2 and over; camphor-containing products are not recommended for younger children.

Additional precautions that apply at any age:

• Do not apply to damaged or irritated skin.
• Avoid contact with mucous membranes and the eye area; the balm is for external use only, is not used in case of individual intolerance to its ingredients and should be kept out of the reach of children.
• Before the first use, do a test on a small area of skin.

If a child is prone to allergic reactions or has chronic skin conditions, it is worth consulting a paediatrician before use.
