How to Use Radical Relief
Shake. Spray. Breathe. Carry on.
Quick Start Guide:
Shake well.
Radical Relief is crafted without heavy emulsifiers so the botanicals and oils naturally separate between uses. A quick shake brings everything back together the way the product is meant to be applied. Leaving out heavy emulsifiers protects the ingredients, maintains their potency, and keeps the formula cleaner. We do this keep stay true to our code: honestly powerful relief.
Spray.
Hold the bottle 6-8 inches from your skin and mist the area evenly. It absorbs on its own — no need to rub it in. Let the product absorb into your skin for 60-90 seconds before you cover it with clothing so the product stays on your skin...where it's supposed to.
Breathe.
Take a moment to breathe after you spray Radical Relief onto your skin. While the menthol and other ingredients take effect, you'll notice the pleasant aroma of the natural botanicals filling the air. Over time, your brain will associate the signature scent with the relief your body feels when you use it.
Carry on.
Use Radical Relief whenever your body needs a moment of support — whether you've hit a sudden bump in the road, had a long day of movement, or just need a mid-day pick-me-up to reset your momentum. If you want more intensity, simply layer sprays. Each additional layer applied (after the previous one dries) strengthens the active ingredients and botanicals up to 3x the sensation. Use it as often as needed to stay moving, stay focused on what matters, and carry on with your day...or night!

Before the Gym:
Activates circulation, loosens stiff areas, and helps prep your range of motion.
After Workouts:
Calms inflamed muscles, eases tension, and supports recovery after your workout session.
After a Hot Shower or Bath:
Absorbs deeply into warm skin and open pores. This is many customer's favorite time to spray Radical Relief. After you dry off from your bath or shower, apply Radical Relief as you normally would. The essential oils and natural moisturizers give you a moment of calming aromatherapy and moisturize your skin with natural botanicals and will absorb even deeper when your pores are open and skin is warm from the heat of the bath or shower. You can even use it in a foot bath...just spray as directed then let it dry and go about your foot bath ritual as usual. You'll thank us later.
Before Bed:
Release the tightness and tension of the day using Radical Relief during your nighttime sleep ritual to help your body settle into rest and repair to take on another day of being awesome.
And truly...use it whenever you need to. One fine mist spray throughout your day can even give you a pep in your step just through aromatherapy. Using your parasympathetic nervous system, getting relief as you breathe in the botanical vapors signals relief in your brain. Like smelling a cup of coffee in the morning to wake up.

shake well to bring the botanicals back into a balanced blend
-
mist onto any area that feels tight, tired, or overworked — whenever your body is asking you for some support

use it after activity to encourage ease and relaxation as your muscles settle down
-
reach for it throughout the day as a quick pick-me-up to reset when you feel discomfort or stress try to slow you down

-
pair it with stretching, breathwork, or your wind-down routine to enhance your ritual

apply to broken, irritated, or freshly shaved skin — give those areas time to heal before use

apply to face, eyes, or sensitive areas where cooling and heating botanicals will feel too intense

ingest, inhale, or use internally...Radical Relief is for external use only
-

-
use if you are sensitive to menthol, capsaicin, or herbal ingredients in the past. Always try a small test area first and discontinue use if irritation occurs
-
don't layer without letting the first application absorb. Always allow the first layer to absorb so you know the intesity before you add more
-
store in hot cars or direct sunlight. Keep it cool or room temperature to keep the potency of the botanicals the best they can be
