Quick overview
Both CBD Balm and Tiger Balm are popular for easing muscle tension and localised pain. While Tiger Balm focuses on heat-based relief, CBD Balm works through cannabinoid and essential oil synergy to calm inflammation and discomfort.
Ingredients compared
CBD Balm (Evopure)
- CBD isolate + broad-spectrum CBD for targeted relief.
- Natural oils: coconut MCT, olive oil, shea butter.
- Essential oils: wintergreen, juniper, peppermint, eucalyptus.
Tiger Balm
- Menthol, camphor, clove and cajuput oils for heat sensation.
- Petroleum or paraffin base in traditional versions.
Benefits & uses
CBD Balm is suited for calming post-workout soreness or joint stiffness, especially where you want cooling comfort without an overpowering scent. Tiger Balm delivers fast-acting warmth but may irritate sensitive skin or open pores.
Safety & skin sensitivity
- Patch test first—both products use strong actives.
- Avoid contact with eyes or broken skin.
- CBD Balm uses a wax-free, plant-based base ideal for most skin types.
When to use which
- CBD Balm: regular recovery, inflammation, sensitivity-safe daily use.
- Tiger Balm: occasional use where heat helps circulation or tightness.
Many athletes now rotate both: Tiger Balm pre-workout, CBD Balm post-training or at night.
