Dr. Bronner's - Organic Magic Balm - Arnica-Menthol, Made w/Organic Beeswax & Hemp Oil, Moisturizes & Soothes Hands, Face, & Body (2 oz, 2-Pack)

The hidden ingredient is hemp. Works similar to THC/CBD creams from licensed dispensaries - those of you who live in states where marijuana hasn’t been legalized yet know the pain of waiting in line and paying an arm and a leg for a tiny thing of cream in the non legal states. Unlike other reviewers, I actually think this product does NOT make you feel cold and does not have a “tingling” sensation at all compared to other OTC products. I don’t really understand the comparisons to icy hot. It’s neither icy nor hot to me. Doesn’t burn at all on my skin the way icy hot does. Feels more similar to hemp/arnica mixtures - like something from the dispensary rather than any OTC products as I’ve said before. Also unlike other reviewers, I don’t smell anything and my product appears to be unscented - so I’m quite confused about people complaining about any scent or smell? I wonder if I’m just used to using other products with a much stronger smell and this one is so mild that I can’t smell anything. *shrugs* I still think it’s a bit pricey for what it is especially for those of us on a fixed income. It’s not super affordable, but then again, neither is any other arnica cream or hemp cream. It’s way way cheaper than THC/CBD creams from the dispensaries. It also goes on completely clear which is a huge upgrade for me from the pasty white residue that Arnicare leaves. Whether or not it works for bruises I’ll have to wait and see, but definitely works better than Arnicare for pain relief and doesn’t make me as cold (no “tingling” here - not sure if those people are using it on their private parts or something LOL but if you’re looking for a strong cream with a much more mild scent that won’t turn your skin pasty white like Arnicare or are sick of spending $40-50 for the same amount of cream at the dispensary I recommend giving this a try! The only potential hiccup I could see is maybe if you’re low vision that it might be tough to see where you’ve applied it already since it goes on completely clear. That’s a trade off I’m willing to happily make as Arnicare has stained pretty much every bed sheet, comforter, and item of clothing I own and sometimes those stains don’t come out. This stuff is COMPLETELY clear so it shouldn’t stain anything- no more keeping my legs above the covers in bed until the cream dries! No more waiting to get dressed either! For that alone I know I’ll be buying it again, whether or not it helps my bruises heal faster. While it is stronger with less side effects than other OTC creams - I suppose it’s important to mention that nothing topical is going to be the same as a Percocet or Vicodin or other controlled substance. So the people literally looking for pain relief from surgery or something extreme like that… just keep expectations realistic for an OTC topical and you shouldn’t be disappointed. Be careful if you have kids in the house - the canister is not child safe and it is shiny and rainbow colored sort of like a pretty unicorn. I could see young kids trying to get into this. Doubt it would harm them, but for the price you probably don’t want your kids taking it on you.

This has been a great product. We bought it for our first aid kit before going camping and it has been quite used! Our kids get scrapes and bumps and lots of bug bites camping, and we have used it on them and on us adults and the balm provides quick relief. It is not magic, and does not heal immediately but it does provide good relief and with constant application does help to speed up the healing process. We have especially liked it when using it on bug bites. We cross country camped and got all sorts of different bug bites (mosquitos, spiders, chiggers, etc.) and this balm helps provide relief from the bites and helps the swelling go down. Our daughter has especially liked it for this purpose, she gets big swelling with any kind of bug bite and this balm helps the swelling go down faster (a few days instead of a month). It also helps provide relief from itching and pain. And as a plus, the nice strong smell helps keep other bugs away for a short time! The smell is pleasant, strong and very peppermintty. The balm is smooth but does not absorb very easily in the skin. You have to give it a few minutes to absorb. It does melt if left out in a hot car or in the sun so be aware of that if using while traveling as well. We have been using it on a constant basis, 4 people, for about 2 weeks now and we have made a good sized dent but I think it would probably last another 2-3 months with the same use we've been doing, so I think it's a really good quantity for the price! The ingredients look clean but do be aware it contains CBD and not just arnica. So if that's something that's important to you, you might want to take it into consideration. I have included a picture listing all the ingredients as well as how much we have used and how much is left for quantity reference.

This balm is my favorite for many reasons. It’s the best. I’ve tried tons of different ones, even ones only sold in Thailand, Philippines and China. It’s slick, absorbs super quick, it’s very hydrating. It does not stain. And it works. I love the minty feeling so I apply it all over. I rub it all over my legs to increase circulation. It really helps soothe sore muscles fast and it lasts. I do wish they would make a minty extreme version but I’m die hard for the cooling sensation these kinds of balms tend to have.

We use this in our rescue on dry snouts, viral cutaneous horns, and various other skin conditions and it REALLY helps. we use it on our own extremely dry skin too. There is no burning, no strong fragrance. This truly is a gentle product that delivers results. I wish it were less expensive.

I like how this ointment makes my feet and elbows feel. Very pleasant smell also.

Great product! I use it almost every day. Very good for dry skin. Non greasy, absorbs well, and it doesn't have any smell.

This baby balm is absolutely amazing! What drew us to this product initially was the clean, natural ingredients, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. It has worked wonders not just for diaper rash but also for the dry, flaky skin and scars caused by eczema. The texture is smooth and easy to apply, creating a protective barrier that really soothes and heals quickly. It’s gentle enough for my baby’s sensitive skin and has become a staple in our daily routine. Knowing that it’s free of harsh chemicals gives me peace of mind, and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend this balm to any parent!

Lo he usado para rosaduras y funciona muy bien, solía usar la de Mustela, pero esta es mil veces mejor, en la primera o segunda puesta la piel del bebé queda sin problemas. Super recomendada y la volveré a comprar.

Excellent for dry skin. Just love it use it as my day and night cream.

Love to this product! Helps with lots of aches and pains.

I absolutely love this balm! But Amazon Australia have stopped stocking it 😞 I hope they add it back to the list (soon)!
