Cooling Muscle Balm with Arnica & Menthol
Cooling Muscle Balm with Arnica & Menthol
After a long day or a big adventure, slow down with a cooling massage ritual. This botanical muscle balm pairs menthol with an arnica, ginger and turmeric infusion, while rich butters and oils leave skin feeling cared for. A little goes a long way.
Choose an 80g tin for everyday use or a compact 25g tin to tuck into a gym bag, travel kit or thoughtful care package. Made in Canada by Copper Barrel Mercantile.
Your massage ritual
- Massage a small amount into skin after activity or whenever you want a cooling, relaxing moment.
- Enjoy the refreshing feel of menthol alongside nourishing cocoa and shea butters.
- Keep the reusable aluminum tin close at hand, at home or on the go.
Packaging update
At the apothecary, we intentionally avoid plastic whenever possible. In 2025, ongoing challenges with sourcing reliable paper push-up tubes made it increasingly difficult to keep this product consistently available. After exploring every viable option, we made the thoughtful decision to transition to recyclable aluminum tins.
While this change may not align with everyone, it was made with care, balancing sustainability, functionality, and long-term reliability. Aluminum tins can be recycled through local recycling programs and repurposed in many ways, from storing herbs and spices to serving as travel containers for solid shampoo or conditioner bars.
Thank you for supporting small-batch choices rooted in integrity, adaptability, and care for the Earth.
