FAQs

How To Use

Step 1: Massage the bottle like a stress ball when endless mental loops or tension start building up (from work, life, or those 47 open tabs in your brain).

Step 2: Apply to skin wherever is tight and dry, or where muscles are tired—think neck, shoulders, any spot that’s holding tension. Notice where the stress sits without judgment.

Step 3: Feel the balm melt as you massage dull skin and muscles tenderly. Focus on the sensations, let them signal your brain to release and reset.

Why Rumination Recovery Balm?

Because overthinking isn’t a muscle workout.

Life’s full of tension—whether from heavy workouts, endless deadlines, or carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. Cortisol locks our mind and body into ruminating. “What if” mode leaves our muscles clenched, jaws tight, and shoulders permanently braced for impact.

Rumination Recovery Balm is anxiety’s worst nightmare; here to melt away tension and ease the aches that overthinking leaves behind. It’s a tool to get out of high-alert mode and into real recovery—because sometimes, letting go is the best way to build resilience.

What is resilient skin?

Resilient skin is skin that’s doing its job: blocking out bacteria, viruses, and whatever else life throws at it (chemicals, friction, you name it). The real magic? Skin adapts, responds, and even has the courtesy to communicate when stressed. That redness, dryness, or random breakout? It’s not just “sensitivity”; it’s your skin’s way of saying, “Hey, I’m handling things here, but a little help wouldn’t hurt.” These signals are proof of your skin’s strength—and a polite request for hydration, rest, or recovery so it can keep protecting you, day in and day out.

Can I use Rumination Recovery Balm on my face?

Rumination Recovery Balm is tested and approved for use on the body, but if you’re eyeing your face, check in with your dermatologist first—better safe than sorry. And if your skin starts throwing a tantrum (redness or irritation), it’s a clear sign to stop immediately.

How often can I use Rumination?

Everyone’s skin is different! We recommend patch testing before diving in. Rumination Recovery Balm was designed to be gentle enough for daily or even repetitive use—because life’s stress doesn’t exactly take days off.

I’m so excited to use it, but for some reason, I am having trouble squeezing it out of the tube. What’s going on?

Ah, yes—the balm’s natural oils, butters, and transformative texture may have decided to play hard-to-get in cooler temps. Give the tube a quick warm-up massage in your hands, holding it cap-side up, or run it under warm water for a few seconds. That should convince it to cooperate and finally make its way out.

The formula seems more liquid than semi-solid balm. Is this normal?

Absolutely—it’s just your balm showing its natural side! Packed with rich oils and butters, Rumination Recovery Balm likes to loosen up in warmer temps. Nothing is compromised. It’s still as safe and effective. Pop it in the fridge for a few minutes, cap-side up, to firm things up. Also, store it in a cool place to maintain integrity.
