What does the warming effect feel like and how long does it last?

The balm creates a noticeable warming sensation on the skin surface, primarily from methyl nicotinate and capsicum extract widening local blood vessels and increasing microcirculation. The feeling is often described as a pronounced, spreading warmth rather than a brief tingle. The intensity varies by individual skin sensitivity, so it's recommended to start with a small amount to gauge your reaction. The heat typically builds over a few minutes and can last from 30 minutes to a couple of hours, making it suitable for use before or after massage when muscles feel tense. Since the effect can be quite active, avoid applying to irritated skin or areas with cuts. Always wash hands thoroughly after use to prevent accidental transfer to sensitive areas like the eyes.
