Frequently Asked Questions
Product Questions
What is the difference between an oil and a balm?
The Answer: It comes down to "slip" and "absorption."
- Oils: Designed for high-slip and broad application, making them ideal for full-body maintenance or manual therapy sessions.
- Balms: These are more concentrated and stay on the surface longer, providing a targeted "grip" for specific trigger points or barrier repair.
Why do you use Pine Rosin in the MFR Balm?
The Answer: For controlled clinical engagement.
The Detail: Pine rosin provides a unique tackiness that is essential for Myofascial Release (MFR). It allows the practitioner (or the user at home) to "pin" the fascia and stretch the underlying tissue without sliding across the skin.
Are these products safe for sensitive skin?
The Answer: Yes, we prioritize bio-compatible, nutrient-dense ingredients.
The Detail: By using Abyssinian and Baobab oils as our primary carriers, we avoid the heavy synthetics found in many mass-market products. Our Repair line is specifically formulated to be hypoallergenic and focused on barrier restoration.
How often should I apply the Relief Oil?
The Answer: As needed for discomfort, but we recommend 2–3 times daily for chronic areas.
The Detail: Because our Relief products contain high-potency botanical analgesics like menthol, they provide immediate cooling and pain modulation.
Can I use these products if I am not a professional therapist?
The Answer: Absolutely.
The Detail: While these were born in a professional clinical setting, they are designed for anyone seeking "Professional Results at Home." Each product pillar (Relief, Recovery, Repair) is simple to integrate into your daily self-care protocol.

Product Details
What is the shelf life of your oils and balms?
The Answer: Our products have a shelf life of 18-24 months when stored properly.
The Detail: The natural botanical oils we use are stable and long-lasting. Each bottle is stamped with a manufacturing date so you can track freshness.
How should I store my products?
The Answer: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
The Detail: Room temperature is ideal. Avoid leaving products in hot cars or near heat sources. The balms may soften slightly in warm conditions but will re-solidify at normal room temperature.

Usage Questions
Can I use the oils and balms together in the same session?
The Answer: Yes, they're designed to work together.
The Detail: Many practitioners start with Relief Oil for broad application, then use a balm for targeted trigger point work. The MFR Balm pairs especially well with our Recovery Oil for comprehensive fascia work.
