Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tiger Balm used for?

Tiger Balm is a topical herbal product commonly used in everyday wellness and self-care routines. It is available in balms, ointments, and patches made with ingredients such as menthol and camphor that create a warming sensation on the skin.


What ingredients are in Tiger Balm?

Tiger Balm formulas utilize camphor and menthol as primary active ingredients. Ingredients such as capsicum can be found in the Pain Relieving Patches, while methyl salicylate can be found in the liniment, muscle rub, and balm spray, both ingredients help to provide temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches and pains. The balm base includes a blend of essential oils, typically consisting of cajuput oil, clove oil, and cassia oil, combined with paraffin or petrolatum. Exact ingredient ratios vary by specific product, such as the Red or White formula.


What Tiger Balm products are available?

Tiger Balm products include balms, patches, and other topical formulations, including Tiger Balm Red and Tiger Balm White. Each product is designed for convenient topical application, allowing users to choose the format and formula that best fits their preferences.


What’s the difference between Tiger Balm Red and White?

Tiger Balm Red contains a higher amount of menthol, which produces a cooling sensation upon application. Tiger Balm White contains higher concentrations of mint and eucalyptus oils and does not include any pigment, making it non-staining.


Why does Tiger Balm feel hot or cooling?

Tiger Balm produces warming and cooling sensations by interacting with skin nerve receptors. Menthol activates cold-sensitive receptors to create a cooling effect, while camphor and cassia oil stimulate heat-sensitive receptors to generate a warming sensation.


Where can you apply Tiger Balm?

Tiger Balm is applied topically to intact skin on the neck, shoulders, back, arms, and legs. Tiger Balm must not be applied to broken, wounded, or irritated skin, and contact with the eyes, mucous membranes, and sensitive areas must be avoided.
