At Vitalize, we believe nature can be one of the most powerful allies in helping you stay active, which is why we’ve built our range of sports creams around ingredients trusted for generations.

Our three-step philosophy ‘Prepare. Prevent. Recover. Naturally.’ guides everything we do, from selecting extracts that gently warm your muscles before exercise to choosing botanicals that can help calm and revitalise them when you’ve finished. Each cream in our lineup features a blend of potent, naturally derived ingredients. Whenever possible, we’ve opted for safe, plant-based options, so you can focus on your routine knowing we’ve done the groundwork.

The first step, Preheat Active, is all about getting you primed and ready. Capsicum Oleoresin takes centre stage here, sourced from chilli peppers and known to create a warming sensation that can help prepare muscles. Mustard Seed Extract and Ginger Oil complement that gentle heat, encouraging localised circulation and easing tension so you’re not hitting the track or gym with stiff limbs. Shea Butter rounds out the formula, giving it a rich, creamy texture that moisturises your skin during application. You’ll also find nourishing elements like Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter in the base, which not only help carry the active ingredients but also feel great on your skin, offering a hint of softness before you even start moving.

Once you’ve wrapped up your training session, Chill Restore steps in as the second phase; supporting your cool-down and helping prevent the onset of post-workout soreness. Menthol delivers an immediate, crisp cooling sensation that can be a welcome contrast to hot, tired muscles. Wintergreen (Gaultheria Procumbens) Oil, rich in naturally occurring compounds, has long been used in topical products for its refreshing properties. Rosemary Oil adds a subtle, invigorating aroma, while Arnica Extract and Aloe Vera contribute soothing qualities to help you finish your session feeling rejuvenated. We’ve also included hydrating elements like Olive Oil, ensuring the formula remains smooth on application and gentle on your skin.

KnotAway completes the trio in our Recover phase, focusing on massage and tension relief. This cream features Magnesium Chloride, often chosen by athletes for its role in muscle relaxation. Turmeric Oil (from Curcuma Longa) brings gentle warmth, while Arnica Extract returns here too, speaking to its continued popularity among those seeking natural support for minor aches or tight spots. To make the massage experience smoother and more beneficial, we’ve included Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, and other plant-derived emollients. They provide a cushiony, comforting texture as you work the cream into problem areas—helping to “knot away” post-workout discomfort so you can bounce back faster.

Behind all three formulas, you’ll find a foundation of plant-based ingredients that help ensure a stable consistency and skin-friendly feel. By carefully balancing these natural components, we aim to create products that work in harmony with your warm-up, cool-down, or recovery massage. Vitalize avoid harsh synthetic additives or unnecessary extras in our exercise creams.

We’re here to help you stay active, naturally. Each cream is designed to slot into your routine with minimal fuss: Preheat Active before you start, Chill Restore when you’re winding down, and KnotAway for those moments when targeted massage is key. Even though the active ingredients differ, they all serve a simple, connected purpose—supporting your body so you can keep doing what you love. It’s not about making overblown promises or shortcutting proper training; it’s about harnessing what nature has to offer and delivering it in a way that feels both effective and reassuring. Whether you’re new to exercise or a seasoned pro, Vitalize is here to help you Prepare, Prevent, and Recover—naturally.
