How do I use the Tiger Balm Body Cream correctly?

Apply a small amount (about a pea-sized dab) to the area where you feel tension, stiffness, or muscle tightness, such as shoulders, neck, back, or calves. Spread the cream evenly using gentle, circular motions. The formulation is designed to be easy to spread, allowing you to incorporate a brief massage as you apply it.

The active components, menthol and camphor, work by interacting with sensory receptors in the skin. You should feel a distinctive cooling effect from the menthol, followed by a gentle warming sensation from the camphor. This creates a sensory contrast that many find helps the area feel looser and more relaxed.

Use it on clean, dry, intact skin. After applying, wash your hands thoroughly to avoid accidentally transferring the cream to sensitive areas like the eyes or mucous membranes. Avoid using on broken, irritated, or sunburned skin. The cream is intended for occasional use when muscles feel overworked—for example after sport, gardening, long travel, or a day of inactivity—and is not a substitute for medical evaluation or advice for persistent issues.
