The red jar, the smell everybody recognises, and a 30g size that has barely changed in generations.

Tiger Balm Red is a warming ointment made from a blend of botanical oils. A small amount goes on and gets rubbed in properly, and the warmth builds over a minute or two rather than arriving all at once.

That warmth is what people keep it for: on shoulders after a long drive, on a back that has stiffened at a desk, on legs after a run. The ointment texture means it stays where it is put rather than running off, which is the practical advantage over a spray or a lotion.

A jar this size lasts a long time, because the amount you need is smaller than instinct suggests. Made for adults, and better kept in a kit bag than a bathroom cabinet, since the kit bag is where it actually gets used.

Application tips

Take a small amount on a fingertip and rub it into the skin over the area you want to work on, using firm circles until the balm has disappeared. A little goes a long way, and more does not make it work harder. Wash your hands afterwards. Keep it away from the eyes, the mouth and any broken skin, and do not cover the area with a tight dressing or a hot compress.

Results

The warmth arrives within a minute or two and builds for a while before it settles, which is the sensation Tiger Balm has been known for since long before any of us were buying it. The 30g jar is small enough for a gym bag or a desk drawer.

The scent is strong and unmistakably herbal, so it announces itself in a shared room.

Composition

The full INCI is printed on the pack. We publish it here as soon as the brand supplies it, and we will read it off the bottle for you if you ask.
