Deep Relief 50/50 Healing Tallow Salve
For skin, joints and muscles that demand real relief
Deep Relief 50/50 is handcrafted on Rivas Ranch with pasture-raised tallow, emu oil and a concentrated lineup of botanicals chosen for their warming, cooling and circulation-boosting effects. This is not your soft, delicate balm. This is the stuff for people who want the real results.
Why It’s Called 50/50
Because relief is a partnership.
50% is the formula inside the tin
— a potent blend of botanicals and lipid-rich fats that the skin knows how to absorb.
The other 50% is how you prep the skin
— because this salve performs at its BEST when applied to skin that is warm AND moist, not just warm.
Warm + moist skin =
• pores are open
• circulation is increased
• the barrier is softened
• botanicals can penetrate deeper
• activation happens faster
This is why applying right after a shower or bath hits different. The moisture on the skin gives the botanicals a literal pathway in.
Cold, dry skin still works.
But warm, moist skin unlocks the full power of the 50/50 formula.
How It Bio-Activates
0–10 minutes: Cooling + Tingle Phase
Menthol activates the cold receptors (TRPM8). This gives that rising cool/tingle and distracts the nervous system from pain signals while prepping the skin.
10–15 minutes: Warming + Circulation Phase
Capsicum binds to TRPV1 heat receptors. Blood flow increases. This is when you feel the deeper warmth pushing into the tissue.
After 15 minutes: Full Activation
The heat stabilizes. Muscles loosen. Tension drops off.
With consistent use, the “spicy” feels less intense as nerve endings adapt.
Botanicals That Do the Heavy Lifting
Capsicum Oleoresin
Stimulates circulation and reduces pain signaling.
Menthol Crystals
Cooling action that eases the initial tension response.
Arnica CO₂ Extract
Traditionally used for swelling, bruising and fatigue.
Ginger CO₂ + Copaiba
Natural anti-inflammatories that support comfort and mobility.
Clove Essential Oil
Adds warmth and mild topical analgesic support.
Tallow + Emu Oil
Mimic skin’s natural lipids and help botanicals move deeper. No water, no fillers, just potency.
What You’ll Feel
0–10 minutes
Cool, tingly, minty rise. The prep phase.
10–15 minutes
Heat rolls in. Circulation increases. The relief starts to deepen.
After 15 minutes
Muscle relaxation. Tension eases. Warmth becomes steady and comforting.
