Description: All of Kathleen Lewis lotions and creams are about 50% aloe gel for healing and soothing skin treatments that are made with little to no water. The very rich and thick lotions and creams contain simple and natural oils. The grapeseed oil is light and penetrating, the sweet almond oil conditions and treats inflamed skin, and coconut oil provides a protective layer, locking in moisture.
Stiff and Sore Muscle Massage Cream: Originally created for ironman triathletes to promote optimum performance and fast recovery. A powerful anti inflammatory made with hand macerated arnica and comfrey oils. The fragrance is fresh and minty with peppermint bringing heat to the muschles and tea tree oil as an antibacterial. Quick and lasting relief for overworked muscles aches and pains.
Apply before and after activity.
Ingredients: Grapeseed oil, aloe vera gel, beeswax, arnica, comfrey, peppermint and tea tree essential oils, vitamin e and grapefruit seed extract.
Tester Says: "After my first Pilates session in 2 months, I applied this light cream to my abs. It was a little greasy, but the next day I could stretch my arms over my head without feeling like I was going to tear myself in half".
Why it works: Tea tree oil helps arnica quickly penetrate (the oil has chemical properties that cause it to dissolve into your skin), and the comfrey is a centuries-old (we're talking monks in the Middle Ages), homeopathic bruise remedy that stimulates tissue repair and nerve regeneration.
Best for deep-tissue massage. The balm contains grapeseed oil, which makes it slick. It will also soothe your sinuses, and the strong peppermint odor is pleasant-like Doublemint gum. |
