Overview
After the gym, after a full shift, after the long drive, when the legs are tired and the shoulders are tight. This is an arnica massage oil you spray on: a fine mist over a shoulder, a calf or the back of your neck, pressed in with your palms. There is no cap to fumble with oily hands, and you can reach the back of your own neck and the tops of your own shoulders without asking anyone. For a back massage for someone else, mist along the spine and use long strokes; add a spray when the glide runs out.
The cool is menthol crystals, not a mint fragrance, and it builds after you press the oil in. The warm, spicy note is ginger and black pepper essential oils, with eucalyptus and bergamot over them and lavender last. Under the scent is coconut oil steeped with arnica flowers, calendula, comfrey root and St. John's wort, blended with hempseed, olive, jojoba and rose hip seed oils so it spreads thin for massage and then dries to the touch. Herbal, not sweet.
2 fl oz (60 ml) in a bottle with a mist spray, small enough for a gym bag. Made in the USA. Every ingredient is listed on this page, and there are fifteen of them.
Where it goes, and when:
- After the gym, while the skin is still warm from the shower.
- After a full shift, before the drive home.
- The back of the neck after the long drive.
- The Sunday-night back rub, with the giver's hands free until the strokes start.
- Calves after the long run.
- The tops of the shoulders you can now reach yourself.
Mist, press in, and let it dry before the shirt.
A gift for the husband or dad who buys nothing like this for himself.
How to use
Use it on clean, unbroken skin. After a warm shower is a good time: step out first, because the oil can make a shower floor slick.
- Hold the bottle close and spray onto the skin, not into the air.
- A few sprays for one place: a shoulder, a calf, the back of the neck. The first time, start with one.
- Press it in with your palms. For a back massage, spray along the spine, use long strokes and add a spray when the glide runs out.
- Give it a moment. It dries to the touch and you can dress.
- Wash your hands after.
Good to know:
- External use only. Keep the mist away from your face and eyes.
- Not on your lips or on broken skin.
- Not for children under 2. Keep it off pets, and wash your hands before you hold a baby.
- Patch-test on your inner arm first if your skin reacts to menthol, arnica or plants in the daisy family.
- After use, cover the oiled skin or use sun protection before strong sun. It contains bergamot and St. John's wort.
- Not for daily use over many weeks.
- If you are pregnant or nursing, check with your provider first.
- For an injury, see a professional first.
Scent, in full
At first: eucalyptus and bergamot, with lemongrass, sweet orange, tangerine and a cool menthol edge. Under them is the warm spice: ginger and the dry lift of black pepper, with tea tree. What stays is lavender, over the earthy, herbal note of the arnica, calendula, comfrey root and St. John's wort infusion. The spice is the warm part and the menthol is the cool part. Herbal, not sweet.

What’s in it
What's in this arnica oil.
Fifteen ingredients, every one named on this page, and what you notice from each. The base is coconut oil steeped with four plants. Four more plant oils are blended in for the glide. Menthol crystals are the cool, and nine essential oils, eucalyptus and bergamot among them, are the scent.
-
Arnica, calendula, comfrey root & St. John's wort
the infusionFour dried plants steeped into the coconut oil, which is first on the ingredient list. Arnica is a yellow mountain daisy with a long reputation in European herbal tradition and in homeopathy. Calendula is the pot marigold. Comfrey is the old garden herb with the dark root. St. John's wort is the herb of the traditional red oil. Named because they are in the bottle; no claim is made for them. What you notice: the earthy, herbal note under everything else.
-
Hempseed, olive, jojoba & rose hip seed oils
the glideFour plant oils blended into the steeped coconut oil: second, third, fifth and eleventh on the list. Hempseed is thin and quick to spread, olive is richer for the stroke, jojoba is a liquid wax that gives the dry-touch finish, and rose hip seed is the oil skincare people buy on its own. What you notice: enough glide for a back, then an oil that dries to the touch instead of sitting.
-
Menthol crystals
the coolMenthol in crystal form, the compound that gives mint its cold; not a mint fragrance. Fourth on the ingredient list. Your skin's cold sensors read it as cold. Pharmacies know it as the cooling ingredient in rubs; here it is a sensation and nothing more. What you notice: a cool that arrives after you press the oil in and stays while the scent settles. Start with one spray the first time. Eucalyptus sits beside it, for the clean, cool edge.
-
Ginger & black pepper
the warm spiceTwo essential oils, steam-distilled from the ginger rhizome and the dried peppercorn. Black pepper is thirteenth on the list and ginger fourteenth. What you notice: the warm, dry spice in the scent as the oil goes on. Around them are tea tree, sweet orange, tangerine, bergamot, lemongrass and lavender: nine essential oils in all, and no fragrance oil.
How it feels
Cool on the skin, warm spice in the air, then dry.
The mist lands and you press it in with your palms. It goes on thin, with enough glide to work a calf or a shoulder. What you smell is eucalyptus and a warm spice, ginger and black pepper. What you feel is the cool of the menthol, the clean cold of breathing in after a mint. Then the skin is dry to the touch and a shirt goes back on. Eucalyptus is what stays in the room.
Straight answer
Doesn’t an oil feel greasy?
Any oil does if you pour it on. This one goes on as a mist, and used like this it leaves no film:
- A thin layer, not a pour. A few sprays is enough for one place.
- Press it in with your palms, on clean skin.
- Leave it alone for a moment before you dress.
Dry to the touch. The cool stays, and so does the eucalyptus.

Questions
Everything you might wonder.
Is this a massage oil or a body oil?
Both. It is an arnica massage oil with enough glide for a back or leg massage, and thin enough to use as an arnica body oil on one place. Use a few sprays for a shoulder or a calf, and more for a full massage.
What is arnica?
A yellow mountain daisy, Arnica montana, with a long reputation in European herbal tradition and in homeopathy. The scientific evidence behind that reputation is thin, and we make no claim for it here. In this oil it is one of the four plants steeped into the coconut oil, and it adds the earthy, herbal note under the scent.
Does it do anything for pain?
We do not claim that. This is a massage oil and body care, not a medicine: no Drug Facts panel, no active ingredient. What it gives you is glide for a massage, a cool from menthol, a warm spice in the scent, and skin that is dry to the touch after. For an injury or pain that keeps coming back, see a professional first.
Is it a warming massage oil or a cooling one?
The cool is on the skin: menthol. The warm is in the scent: ginger and black pepper essential oils. We have not measured a warmth on the skin, so we say scent, not skin, until we have. We do not promise heat.
Is it greasy? Will it stain the sheets?
Used as a thin layer it is a non-greasy body oil: it spreads thin and dries to the touch. But it is an oil, so let it sink in before sheets or a white shirt, and spray onto skin, not into the air.
How far does the mist reach?
The back of your own neck and the tops of your shoulders, one-handed. For the middle of your back, mist your palm and reach, or ask someone.
Who should not use it?
External use only; keep the mist away from your face and eyes. Not on lips or broken skin. Not for children under 2; keep it off pets; wash your hands before holding a baby. Patch-test on the inner arm if your skin reacts to menthol, arnica or plants in the daisy family. Cover freshly oiled skin or use sun protection before strong sun (bergamot and St. John's wort are in it). Not for daily use over many weeks. Check with your provider if pregnant or nursing. For an injury, see a professional first. A misted floor is slick: apply after the shower, not in it.
Oil or stick?
The oil for long strokes and the back; the RECOVER balm stick for one place and the pocket. Together they are the two working pieces of our Post Workout kit.
