Tiger Balm Muscle & Tension Lotion is a convenient topical lotion designed to help loosen and relax muscles through targeted massage.
The lotion comes in an ergonomic bottle with a specially designed sponge applicator head, allowing you to apply the product directly to areas of muscle tension without needing to spread it with your hands. This makes it particularly convenient for areas that can be difficult to reach.
The lightweight formula absorbs quickly and is non-sticky, making it suitable for use throughout the day. It can be used before or after exercise, at home, in the office or during longer journeys when muscles may feel tense from prolonged sitting or everyday activity.
Tiger Balm UK describes the product as a cosmetic product, with relaxation associated with the massage action of the applicator. It should therefore not be marketed as a medicinal painkiller or as a treatment for a medical condition.
