How to Use

The advantage of using the balm stick is the no-touch application—simply apply it and go. 

  1. Ensure the skin where you plan to apply the balm is clean and dry.
  2. Remove the cap from the Muscle MX Activate Balm container. If using a stick balm, twist the base to expose the product.
  3. Glide it directly over the targeted area.
  4. Apply even layers to the area experiencing discomfort, such as muscles, joints, or other areas needing relief.
  5. If you decide to (optional) use your fingers to massage the balm, gently massage the balm into your skin using circular motions. This helps the balm to penetrate the skin and increases blood flow to the area.
  6. After applying and massaging the balm, wash your hands thoroughly to avoid transferring the balm to your eyes or other sensitive areas.

ARNICA OIL

Arnica is a stunning perennial plant with yellow-orange flowers that closely resemble daisies. Its traditional use in alleviating joint pain, bruises, boils, and wound healing is well-known, with the added benefit of reducing swelling from broken bones. Moreover, this impressive herb boasts a wide range of topical applications for various conditions. It's often found growing in the mountains of Europe, where it has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries

CAMPHOR OIL

Camphor oil, derived from the wood of the camphor tree, has been used for centuries to soothe a range of ailments such as pain, itching, fungal infections, minor burns, and hemorrhoids. Although it should never be ingested, topically it can be applied to stimulate nerve endings, providing relief from various skin irritations and discomforts. With its therapeutic properties, camphor oil has been a popular choice for those seeking natural remedies to alleviate their ailments.

CAFFEINE OIL

Caffeine has long been known as a stimulant for muscles, the kidneys, and the brain. As a popular energizer and focus booster, its benefits are widely recognized. However, when used topically, caffeine can provide incredible benefits to the body. Its quick absorption rate can increase blood flow, stimulate cardiac muscle performance, relax smooth muscle, and reduce pain and inflammation. Additionally, it can raise body temperature, making joint mobility easier. With such a wide range of benefits, caffeine as a topical is a valuable addition to any wellness routine.

COCONUT OIL

Coconut oil is a natural wonder with a multitude of benefits for your hair, skin, and overall health. It has been traditionally used for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties, as well as its ability to improve skin and oral health. Extracted from the finest coconuts, this oil is packed with essential nutrients that nourish your body from the inside out. As a topical treatment, coconut oil works wonders by softening and healing the skin, thanks to its potent anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.

EUCALYPTUS OIL

Eucalyptus oil, a traditional mosquito repellent and disinfectant, has come a long way from being a regular oil extracted from Australian eucalyptus trees. Today, it is a versatile ingredient with countless benefits, including relieving cold symptoms, reducing pain, freshening breath, clearing cold sores, and cleaning scrapes and cuts. Its uses seem almost infinite, making it a go-to remedy for those seeking natural and effective solutions to everyday problems.

PEPPERMINT OIL

Peppermint has been a traditional remedy for a variety of ailments, ranging from tension headaches and nausea, to bedsores, muscle pain, spasms, itching, and skin irritation. Derived from the leaves of peppermint plants, this magical herb is known for its cooling sensation that soothes and calms the senses. While peppermint has gained popularity in aromatherapy for its ability to clear sinuses, reduce nausea, and subside headaches, it also offers a range of topical benefits. When applied topically, it can deliver aromatherapeutic benefits, alleviate pain and inflammation, increase joint and muscle mobility, as well as delay the onset of muscle or joint soreness.

GRAPESEED OIL

Grapeseed oil has been a traditional remedy for various skin conditions, ranging from acne to dry, irritated skin. Thanks to its impressive anti-microbial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, this oil is a must-have in your skincare routine. Its high concentration of vitamin E makes it particularly effective in promoting healthy skin and reducing UV damage. In fact, the FDA recognizes its potential to alleviate symptoms associated with non-complicated chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), such as leg swelling, heaviness, and tingling.

OLIVE OIL

Olive oil has been a staple in the Mediterranean diet for centuries, prized for its rich flavor and numerous health benefits. This nutrient-packed oil is made from pressing olives and is rich in monounsaturated oleic acid, which is believed to have a variety of health benefits, including reducing the risk of stroke and heart disease and providing anti-inflammatory effects. While olive oil has traditionally been used for internal use, it also offers a plethora of external benefits, such as serving as a skin moisturizer, promoting wound healing, reducing signs of aging, and even increasing collagen production. At our company, we use only organic olive oil in our balms to provide these external benefits and reduce swelling and pain.

MENTHOL

Menthol, extracted from naturally occurring peppermint hybrid plants, has a long history of use in alleviating tension headaches, nausea, bedsores, muscle pain, spasms, itching, and skin irritation. Its deep cooling sensation makes it a common ingredient in aromatherapy for clearing sinuses, reducing nausea, and easing headaches. When applied topically, menthol delivers not only aromatherapeutic benefits but also relieves pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, backaches, and sprains. Additionally, it can increase joint and muscle mobility and delay the onset of muscle and joint soreness.

BEESWAX

Renowned for its thickening, emulsifying, and stiffening properties, beeswax has been a staple ingredient in wellness products for generations. Produced as a byproduct of honey-making, this versatile wax boasts an impressive array of benefits, including a prolonged shelf life, excellent combustibility, and potent protective qualities. Historically, beeswax has been used to craft everything from candles and crayons to furniture polish. Today, its natural properties make it a popular choice for a diverse range of wellness products. In Muscle MX balms, beeswax acts as a binding agent, locking in moisture while shielding the skin from harmful environmental toxins. The result? A supple, vitamin A-enriched body that feels silky smooth to the touch.

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E has been a traditional remedy for various skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, scars, and wrinkles. Derived naturally from vegetable oil, vitamin E is composed of eight fat-soluble compounds that possess potent antioxidant properties. This versatile vitamin can be applied topically directly on the skin or incorporated into lotions, gels, and creams. The alpha tocopherol vitamin E, found in MX Naturals, works as an exceptional moisturizing agent, effectively promoting softer skin while tackling pain and inflammation.

FAQ's About Activate

What is Activate, and how does it relate to mobility?

Activate is a warming balm made to be used before you move. It gives a deep warming sensation where you apply it, which many customers say helps stiff areas like the neck, back, and knees feel looser and more ready for activity. It is a topical for external use, so it supports your routine rather than replacing movement.

When is the best time to use Activate?

Use it before activity: ahead of a workout, a walk, yard work, or first thing in the morning when you feel stiff. Activate is the warming half of the Muscle MX contrast system, and  Recovery , the cooling balm, is the one people typically reach for afterward.

How do I apply it?

  1. Start with clean, dry skin.
  2. Glide the stick over the area.
  3. Apply in an even layer. Gently massaging it in with circular motions is optional.
  4. Wash your hands afterward so the balm does not reach your eyes or other sensitive areas.

How often can I use it?

The label suggests up to 3 to 4 times daily or as needed. Start with a small amount and see how your skin responds.

How long before I move should I apply it?

Apply it as part of your warm-up, then ease into your movement. There is no set timing on the label, so use your own experience as a guide. Many people like to apply, spend a few minutes on light mobility drills, and then start their main activity.

What will I feel when I use it?

Expect a warming sensation and a fresh, minty scent from ingredients like menthol, peppermint, and eucalyptus. Many customers report feeling looser within minutes. Results vary from person to person.

Will Activate improve my range of motion or flexibility?

Activate is designed to help you feel warmed up and ready to move, and the warming feeling can make stretching and movement more comfortable. It does not replace stretching, a proper warm-up, or medical care. Think of it as one small habit in a routine. Small, consistent habits work better than extreme routines.

Can I use it for everyday stiffness, not just workouts?

es. Many people use it on a stiff neck, lower back, knees, or shoulders after long hours sitting, driving, or standing, and on cold mornings. Pair it with a few minutes of gentle movement for best results.

Can this balm be used to reduce inflammation and pain?

Yes, Muscle MX Activate Balm is formulated with natural ingredients that have potential anti-inflammatory properties. When applied topically, it may help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in targeted areas.

Is Activate Heating Balm harsh for my skin?

No, Muscle MX Activate Balm is crafted with natural, skin-friendly ingredients. Our combination of beeswax and coconut oil makes the skin smooth and soft once absorbed into the skin. The formula is designed to be gentle and soothing, making it suitable for most skin types. However, if you have specific skin concerns or allergies, we recommend conducting a patch test before widespread use.

How long does Muscle MX Balms take to kick in?

The balms typically starts to take effect within 10 to 15 minutes after application, providing quick relief to the targeted area.

What is the difference between Activate and Recovery Balms?

Muscle MX Activate Balm is specifically formulated to provide a warming sensation and is ideal for pre-workout use to help loosen muscles. On the other hand, Muscle MX Recovery Balm offers a cooling sensation and is ideal for post-workout recovery to soothe muscles and reduce inflammation.
