Easy Tiger — 2 Tigers
Cooling relief meets warming recovery. Formulated for active soreness and moderate muscle load.
Sports Recovery Balm — Medium
Easy Tiger 2 Tigers is the medium-intensity recovery balm, formulated for athletes managing active soreness and moderate DOMS after hard training sessions. The triple-butter matrix provides deep barrier repair. Increased Arnica and Tamanu Oil deliver stronger anti-inflammatory and tissue-regenerating action. Menthol Crystals and Camphor introduce a cooling then warming thermal contrast that activates circulation and provides immediate relief to sore tissue. Cajeput and Ginger essential oils deepen the warming effect and support muscle recovery. Frankincense continues its regenerative work beneath the thermal layer. This is the formula for the athlete who finishes a hard session with real soreness and wants a balm that actively works — not just soothes.
Key Benefits
- Muscle Recovery Balm
- Structural protection against body burn
Key Ingredients
- Shea Butter: The primary barrier-repair butter in the matrix. Rich in oleic and stearic acids, it provides deep lasting moisture and soothes inflamed skin. Supports barrier restoration after mechanical load.
- Mango Butter: A lighter, non-comedogenic emollient with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Melts on skin contact to form a protective oil that hydrates without grease. Particularly effective post-friction where the skin barrier has been mechanically stressed.
- Cocoa Butter: Increases in proportion across tiers, adding structural firmness to the wax matrix. Restores the skin's natural barrier, helps heal redness and inflammation, and improves blood flow to support healthy cell turnover.
- Beeswax: The structural matrix anchor. Locks active ingredients against the skin and prevents premature breakdown during massage application. Increases in proportion across tiers for greater firmness and staying power.
- Jojoba Oil: The primary glide carrier. A liquid wax ester that closely mimics the skin's own sebum. Research suggests sports massage with jojoba oil may aid in reducing exercise-induced muscle injury and inflammation.
- Apricot Kernel Oil: A fast-absorbing, lightweight carrier oil high in oleic acid. Supports skin softening and nutrient delivery, and enhances the spreadability of the formula during massage application.
- Tamanu Oil: A standout recovery ingredient. Rich in calophyllolide, a compound with proven wound-healing and tissue-regenerating properties. Accelerates healing, reduces infection risk, improves circulation in sore areas, and promotes collagen production. A Pacific Islands traditional remedy with well-researched modern evidence.
- Calendula Oil: Established for skin-calming and wound-healing properties. Supports tissue repair and soothes mechanically stressed skin. Reduces in proportion from 1 Tiger to 3 Tigers as the formula intensifies.
- Arnica Oil: A clinically recognised sports recovery ingredient. Topical application has been shown to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle damage, with athletes reporting less soreness 72 hours post-exercise. Stimulates white blood cells, reduces bruising and swelling, and improves circulation through dilation of subcutaneous capillaries. Increases in proportion from 1 Tiger to 3 Tigers.
- Zinc Oxide (non-nano): A physical mineral providing skin protection, anti-inflammatory action, and barrier support. Non-nano grade stays on the skin surface and does not penetrate the bloodstream. Increases from 1 Tiger to 3 Tigers.
- Vitamin E: A fat-soluble antioxidant that protects skin lipids from oxidative damage and supports cellular repair. Consistent across all three tiers. Acts as a natural preservative within the wax matrix.
- Menthol Crystals: The primary cooling active. Activates cold receptors in the skin to produce a therapeutic cooling sensation that relieves pain. Works as a counterirritant to reset sore tissue. Increases significantly from 2 Tigers to 3 Tigers.
- Camphor (white): Paired with menthol for a thermal contrast effect. Creates a warming sensation that increases circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to fatigued muscle faster. Research confirms camphor improves both skin and muscle blood flow.
- Frankincense EO: Anti-inflammatory and skin-regenerative. Supports tissue repair and adds a grounding, earthy character to the scent profile.
- Cajeput EO: The signature note of 2 Tigers. Part of the tea tree family with analgesic and mild warming properties. Bridges the calm of 1 Tiger and the intensity of 3 Tigers.
- Ginger EO: Improves circulation and reduces discomfort in sore areas. A dominant warmth driver in 3 Tigers, significantly more concentrated than in 2 Tigers. Traditional use in deep muscle applications across Asian medicine.
