Provides targeted, natural warmth for muscle relief Made with certified organic botanicals Features a reusable glass jar and supports local apiaries Frequently Asked Questions About Hot Salve How strong is the heating sensation, and how long does it last? The warming sensation is stimulating and penetrating, created by certified organic cayenne pepper and ginger. The intensity and duration can vary based on the amount used and individual sensitivity, but it's designed to provide soothing relief for sore muscles. Most users experience a noticeable warmth that lasts for a substantial period. Can I use this on my face or neck? We strongly advise against using Hot Salve on your face due to the risk of eye contact, which may cause tingling. For the neck, extreme caution is advised; always perform a test patch first and avoid application near mucous membranes. The product is formulated for use on the body to soothe sore muscles. I have sensitive skin. Is this product safe for me? Hot Salve may not be suitable for sensitive skin. We mandate performing a patch test before general use: apply a small amount to your inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for reaction. Potential irritants include cayenne pepper and ginger essential oil, which create the warming effect. Is this product vegan? Hot Salve is not vegan as it contains local beeswax from Massachusetts. While the formula is 100% Natural, GMO-free, and primarily Plant Based, the beeswax is a bee product. We are committed to ethical sourcing, using beeswax from a known apiary. How much should I use per application? We recommend starting with a pea-sized amount, massaging it thoroughly onto freshly cleansed skin. You can adjust this amount based on the size of the area and your desired level of warmth. The 1oz jar provides multiple applications, so a little goes a long way. How should I store this salve, and what is its shelf life? Store your salve in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the natural oils and shea butter. Due to its all-natural, handmade composition, it typically has a shelf life of 1-2 years. Always check for changes in scent or texture as an indicator of freshness. Where is this product made/manufactured? Our ingredients are mindfully sourced from around the world, including Tunisia, India, Peru, and the USA. Hot Salve is then handmade and assembled with love in the USA, aligning with our brand's commitment to craftsmanship and eco-friendliness. What does it smell like? The scent comes entirely from its natural ingredients, featuring warm, earthy, and slightly spicy notes from ginger and cayenne pepper, complemented by gentle herbal hints of chamomile. There is no added fragrance, so the aroma is authentic and grounding.
