Performance Recovery
Train hard. Recover harder.
Targeted muscle and joint support before and after every workout.
A professional-strength, built for performance topical formulated for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, active lifestyles and anyone who demands more from their body. Designed to prime sore muscles and stiff joints before you train and support recovery when you're done. This fast-absorbing, non-greasy balm delivers targeted comfort exactly where you need it. Powered by a dual-action cooling and warming botanical blend, and formulated with a clean dry-touch finish that absorbs fast and leaves nothing behind.
Key Benefits
Pre-workout comfort
Loosen up sore muscles and stiff joints before you start so you can move freely from rep one, not rep ten.
Post-workout recovery
After a hard session, massage into worked muscles to help ease soreness, tension, and the heavy feeling that follows intense training.
Dual thermal action
Menthol delivers sharp, immediate cooling. Camphor follows with deep penetrating warmth. Together they create the balanced sensation serious athletes reach for.
Dry-touch, non-greasy finish
Melts in fast and leaves no sticky residue behind. Apply it and get moving. No waiting, no wiping your hands on your clothes.
How It Works — Active Ingredients
Arnica Montana
A botanical trusted by athletes for generations to help ease the feeling of muscle soreness, stiffness, and physical fatigue before and after exertion. Arnica works with your body's natural response to physical stress, not against it.
Menthol
The ingredient you feel first, and you feel it fast. Within 60 to 90 seconds, menthol delivers sharp, focused cooling to overworked areas. It's the opening note in Performance Balm's dual-action thermal formula and the reason the sensation hits immediately on contact.
Camphor
Where menthol cools, camphor warms. Building over 3 to 5 minutes, camphor delivers penetrating warmth that helps ease joint stiffness and tight muscles and supports healthy circulation in the applied area. It turns the initial cooling into something deeper and longer-lasting.
Magnesium Chloride
Helps relax tight, fatigued muscles so you start your session loose instead of locked up. Particularly effective as part of a pre-workout routine, helping muscles reach a better starting state before the demands of training begin.
Eucalyptus & Peppermint Essential Oils
Amplify the thermal effect of menthol and camphor while delivering the sharp, clarifying scent that tells your body it's time to perform. Not a body lotion moment. These aren't fragrance ingredients. They're functional.
Grapeseed Oil & Mango Butter
The lightweight botanical base that carries every active ingredient above efficiently into the skin. Grapeseed oil absorbs fast and clean. Mango butter gives the formula its rich, spreadable texture without heaviness. Together they make the formula glide on with control and absorb without residue.
Tapioca Starch
Delivers a dry-touch finish so the balm absorbs cleanly, with no sticky residue and no greasy feel on the skin. This fine, lightweight powder absorbs any residual surface oils after the formula melts in, so you can apply and move on immediately. It's the finishing detail that separates this from traditional recovery balms.
Beeswax
Gives the formula its balm structure and creates a light layer on the skin that helps active ingredients stay in contact longer. More contact time means more time for arnica, menthol, camphor, and magnesium to do their work.
Vitamin E
Protects and nourishes active skin while helping preserve formula freshness. Because recovery isn't just muscular, and a clean formula should stay clean.
How & When To Use
Before Training — Recommended
Prime your body to move
Massage into sore muscles and stiff joints before your warm-up. Less tightness, more range from the very first set.
After Training
Accelerate recovery
Apply to worked muscles post-session to help ease soreness, tension, and the heavy feeling after hard training.
Daily Use
Stay loose, stay moving
Target chronic tightness in the neck, shoulders, lower back, knees, and joints anytime you need it.
What Makes It Different
This isn't the balm you grab off a drugstore shelf. Performance Balm is built for performance, and built for people who are equally serious about what goes on their body. Most recovery products contain one or two active ingredients. This formula combines all four: Menthol, Camphor, Arnica, and Magnesium. That combination is rare, and it's what makes the dual-action thermal experience work the way it does. Add a clean botanical base, a dry-touch tapioca finish, and a therapeutic scent that means business, and you have a recovery product that performs at every level. Zero compromise on ingredients, texture, or results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the CBD Roll-On Gel?
Performance Balm is a full-coverage formula best suited for larger muscle groups, including quads, hamstrings, back, shoulders, and hips. The CBD Roll-On Gel is designed for precise, targeted joint support with 4000mg of broad-spectrum CBD in a mess-free applicator. Many people use both. The Balm before and after training, the Roll-On for specific joint areas throughout the day.
Does this contain CBD?
No. Performance Balm is formulated without CBD. The active recovery power comes from the combination of arnica, menthol, camphor, and magnesium, four ingredients with deep roots in athletic recovery. If you're looking for CBD-powered recovery, check out our CBD Roll-On Gel or CBD Lavender Balm.
When should I use it, before or after training?
Both, and that's what makes it different. Apply before your warm-up to loosen stiff muscles and joints and improve range of motion from the start. Apply after training to ease soreness and support recovery. Many users make it part of both ends of their session.
How quickly does it work?
The menthol cooling sensation is felt within 60 to 90 seconds of application. The deeper warming effect from camphor builds over 3 to 5 minutes. Most people feel meaningful comfort within the first few minutes.
Is it greasy or heavy on the skin?
Not at all. The grapeseed oil and mango butter base absorbs fast, and tapioca starch delivers a clean, dry-touch finish with zero sticky residue. Apply it, massage it in, and get moving. No waiting, no wiping your hands.
Can I use it every day?
Yes. Performance Balm is safe for daily use. Many users apply it every morning to address chronic tightness in the neck, lower back, knees, and shoulders as part of their daily routine.
Does it have a strong scent?
It has a bold, therapeutic scent from the menthol, camphor, eucalyptus, and peppermint, intentionally designed to signal recovery, not mask it. Most athletes love it. If you prefer something subtler, our CBD Lavender Balm offers a gentler scent profile.
Is this safe to use with other Amazing Kind products?
Absolutely. A popular combination is Performance Balm before and after training, CBD Roll-On Gel for targeted joint support during the day, and CBD Lavender Balm at night for deeper overnight recovery.
