Cinnamon Protector Oil

Most muscle rubs rely on menthol or camphor for a surface-level cooling or warming sensation. Cinnamon Protector Oil is a three-layer formula based on a traditional Chinese topical recipe (Po Sum On). Peppermint and eucalyptus work on the surface. Cinnamon and ginger drive deep warmth into the muscle layer. Dragon’s blood resin and camellia oil nourish tissue and support microcirculation at the base. It’s handcrafted with real botanical extracts — no synthetic fragrances or petroleum-based carriers.

Yes — many customers apply a small amount to their temples and cheekbones. The warming sensation is more intense on the face, so start with less than you think you need. Avoid the eye area. This is one of the most popular use cases: a dab on each cheekbone for an invigorating, clearing effect.

Dragon’s blood is a deep red resin from the Croton lechleri tree, used in Chinese medicine for centuries to break blood stasis and support tissue repair. Despite the name, it’s entirely plant-derived — no animal ingredients. In this formula, it works at the base layer to promote microcirculation at the application site.

With daily use, a single bottle typically lasts 2–3 months. A little goes a long way — you only need a small amount per application. The warming effect builds and continues working long after you apply it, so there’s no need to reapply frequently.

We recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use during pregnancy. The formula contains essential oils — including cinnamon, peppermint, and wintergreen — that are generally avoided during pregnancy as a precaution. The oil is also not recommended for children under 12.

No. Camellia oil absorbs cleanly into the skin without a greasy feel. Multiple customers specifically note it’s “not oily at all.” Let it absorb for a minute or two before dressing. The oil itself is clear to light amber and does not stain fabric under normal use.
