Questions? We got you!

  • We’re always looking for ways to improve, and after hearing feedback from our community, we knew we could make our Recovery Balm even cleaner, more stable, and longer-lasting. Our old formula had a tendency to separate or become runny over time, which we saw was frustrating for customers who stocked up on their favorites.

    So, we made some upgrades to our formula while keeping the same core benefits you love. Now, your balm stays fresh, smooth, and effective—without any unwanted texture changes!

  • If you’re a longtime customer, you’ll notice a smoother, more luxurious texture—one that absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy and stays consistent from the first roll to the last.

    What’s gone? That runny, sometimes leaky texture that could happen with the previous formula. Now, your balm will stay perfectly blended and stable from start to finish.

  • We made a few thoughtful upgrades to improve stability, texture, and overall skin feel, all while keeping our formulas clean, plant-powered, and effective. Here’s what’s new:

    ✅ More skin-friendly hydration – We added Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Coco Caprylate/Caprate, which absorb beautifully and nourish the skin.
    ✅ More stable formula – No more thinning, separating, or leaks! Our new plant-based emulsifiers (Sorbitan Olivate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate) help the balm glide on smoothly and stay consistent over time.
    ✅ Still powered by magnesium! – The same recovery-focused ingredients like Magnesium, MSM, and Aloe Vera are still working their magic—just in a formula that’s even better.
    ✅ Fewer additives, more nature – We removed Propylene Glycol and replaced it with gentler, plant-based alternatives.

    What hasn’t changed? The results. The balm still delivers the same muscle recovery, soothing relief, and clean wellness experience—it’s just even better.

  • Yes—if anything, they’re better! As an independent brand we worked hard to keep all the powerful, plant-based recovery ingredients that make our balms work so well. Magnesium, MSM, Aloe, and essential oils still deliver the same muscle relief and relaxation you count on - No shrink-flation on our watch!

Been using it for years

I’ve been a long-time user of Recovery Balm and wanted to leave a review after trying the new formula. First off, the old formula was MIRACULOUS for my leg cramps. I did notice that it was runnier in consistency, and the new version is thicker, and carries a subtly sweeter scent. It still subdues my cramps which are otherwise diabolical. I’m so grateful for this product, and for Rachel’s amazing team, who always personally answer all my questions 🩷

relief for sore muscles

This is my favorite thing to use after long days on my feet or after workouts. It gives me almost immediate relief from that deep, achy muscle sorenessand I love that it’s not greasy or sticky. The rollerball makes it super easy to apply exactly where I need it. I’ve tried a lot of recovery products and this one just works. A staple in my routine!

Amazing!

Essential Calm is amazing! For over 2 and a half years, I have been dealing with excruciating neck pain that was making it difficult to sleep. Just laying down caused a massive headache. I could barely turn my head. I was constantly uncomfortable. I've been through many months of physical therapy, Xrays, MRI's, CT scans, multiple injections, medications, weekly chiropractic, bi-monthly massages, weekly acupuncture...but the neck pain wasn't getting better and my migraine headaches were increasing in frequency, duration and intensity with no relief. I've seen orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, neurosurgeons, been to pain management... The headaches and neck pain just kept getting worse. I was having more days with a migraine than without and dreaded going to bed. I discovered this product while scrolling on Facebook and was immediately skeptical, but I was willing to try something different. What did I have to lose?? I honestly didn't think it was going to make a difference. But, it did the first time I used it!!! I haven't had a migraine in 25 days, I can turn my head and laying down no longer causes a headache!!! I keep one at my desk, one by my bed, one in the bathroom to use when getting dressed and getting ready to go to bed. I've shared it with friends for their back pain. I take it with me on trips. I am thoroughly amazed and so grateful to have found this simple product!!! Thank you!

Wow, Colleen - thank you so much for sharing your story with us. We’re honestly blown away by your journey, your resilience, and the fact that Essential Calm has been a part of your healing is incredibly humbling.

Hearing that you’re finally getting relief, sleeping better, and living with less pain after everything you’ve been through means everything to us. This is exactly why we do what we do and your words are a gift to our whole team.

We’re so grateful you took a chance on us, and even more grateful that you're now sharing the love with others. Sending you continued healing, strength, and calm.

With deep gratitude,
The PLR Team ✨

Repeat customer!

This is a must-have in my collection of balms. I used up the first order and just got another one. As a Yoga Therapist I work with clients who have pain; this really helps!

Nan, thank you! We're so honored to be part of your toolkit, and extra love for sharing it with your clients. From one healing journey to another, we’re grateful to be in your circle. ✨
