Compare Balm vs Creams

Not sure which is right for you? Same botanicals. Different experience.

Hemp, Comfrey & Arnica,
in two different formulas

Hemp, Comfrey & Arnica were used traditionally in Western Herbal Medicine to help relieve muscle and joint discomfort.

Balm formula

Hemp, Comfrey & Arnica Balm

Beeswax & shea butter base

Hemp, Comfrey & Arnica Balm

Nano formula

Aches & Pains Nano Cream

Water-based nano delivery

Aches & Pains Nano Cream
Original and still best-selling product Newer nano formula
Beeswax & shea butter base — stays workable on the skin Water-based formula — non-greasy, no residue
~ Gradual absorption — massage in thoroughly for best results Fast-absorbing — many customers notice results quickly
Longer-lasting — many customers report extended relief between applications ~ Some customers find relief duration shorter than the balm
Beeswax base keeps botanicals in contact with skin Advanced nano-encapsulation for enhanced absorption
~ Thickens in cold weather — warm between palms first Consistent texture year-round
Ideal for massage — rich texture stays workable on the skin Ideal for hands — absorbs fully so you can type or use your phone straight after
Great for larger areas — legs, back, shoulders Great for targeted areas — hands, wrists, joints
~ Rich texture can transfer to bedding Great before bed — won’t transfer to pillowcases

A note on individual response: Both formulas contain the same botanical actives, but individual results vary.

Some customers find the Nano Cream highly effective where the balm did little for them — and the reverse is equally true.

There is no single right answer, which is why we offer both. If you’re unsure, either makes a good starting point.
