Every Ingredient Is There for a Reason

"I've been formulating aromatherapy blends for over 30 years. Every single ingredient in this balm earns its place"

Our Philosophy
Pure. Purposeful.
Nothing unnecessary.
Magic 9 Balm contains no water, no fillers, no synthetics - just concentrated plant power, carefully blended at optimal temperatures to preserve its potency. Unlike conventional creams that rely on synthetic emulsifiers and high-heat production, every ingredient here is cold-pressed or gently processed to keep it alive and effective.
You'll never find parabens, sulphates, petrochemicals, hydrogenated oils, artificial colours or fragrances in this formula. Just plants, working as nature intended.
-
PLANT-BASED & 100% NATURAL

No dilution.
No compromise.

The Essential Oil Blend
The Magic 9
At the heart of the balm is a complex of nine therapeutic essential oils, each chosen for what it contributes to the whole. Blended at precise levels so they work in harmony - warming and cooling, soothing and uplifting - this is the blend that has earned the balm its name.
-
WARMING + COOLING
Ease
Black Pepper · Marjoram · Eucalyptus · Peppermint
An expert fusion of warming and cooling oils works deep into tired muscles, easing tension and bringing welcome relief to aching joints. Black Pepper gently warms the tissue; Peppermint and Eucalyptus cool and refresh; Marjoram brings its long-held reputation as the go-to oil for muscle spasm and sore, overworked bodies.
-
SOOTHING + CALMING
Calm
Blue chamomile · Roman Chamomile · Highland Pine · High Altitude Lavender
Blue and Roman Chamomile work in tandem - naturally anti-inflammatory and deeply soothing - while our precious High Altitude Lavender (grown 1,000 metres above sea level in the Alpine foothills) brings a faster healing effect that you can genuinely feel. Highland Pine, distilled from Scotland's Caledonian Forests, helps ease sore, overworked joints and revives tired muscles.
-
MOOD + WELLBEING
Lift
Sweet Orange
Pain is exhausting, and its effect on mood is real. Sweet Orange was chosen for its natural mood-lifting properties - a gentle antidepressant that brings brightness even on difficult days. As a bonus, it's also a natural detoxifier, helping to support the lymphatic system and ease congestion around inflamed joints.
"Essential oils are complex. It's the combination of naturally occurring constituents, working together, that creates healing greater than the sum of its parts."

In Detail
Every Ingredient, Explained
Here is every ingredient in the balm - what it is, where it comes from, and exactly why Fiona chose it.
"I never add an ingredient because it looks good on a label. Every single one has to justify its place - for the skin, for the body, or for the soul."
— Fiona Tutte, Founder
PLANT BASED & VEGAN
100% NATURAL INGREDIENTS
HIGHLAND PINE ESSENTIAL OIL
INVIGORATING - TONIC - CLEARING
Distilled from Scots Pine trees growing in Scotland's ancient Caledonian Forests - a rare and precious ecosystem. While most Scots Pine oil comes from Eastern Europe, Fiona intentionally sources this Scottish oil for its purity and provenance.
"It boosts circulation, warms the muscles and helps ease joint pain. And it connects the balm to the landscape that inspired it."
BLUE CHAMOMILE ESSENTIAL OIL - ORGANIC
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY · SOOTHING · HEALING
The faint green tint in the balm comes from Blue Chamomile - naturally rich in Azulene, which reduces redness and inflammation, and Bisabolol, which soothes eczema and dry, itchy skin. These compounds work together to create a healing effect far greater than either could achieve alone.
"Blue Chamomile is the key soothing oil in the blend. It's irreplaceable."
ROMAN CHAMOMILE ESSENTIAL OIL - ORGANIC
CALMING · SOOTHING · GENTLE
Where Blue Chamomile targets inflammation in the skin and joints, Roman Chamomile works on the nervous system - calming the mind and helping the body unwind. Together, the two Chamomiles create a deeply soothing effect that works on every level.
HIGH ALTITUDE LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL
HEALING · CALMING · RESTORATIVE
Grown 1,000 metres above sea level in the Alpine foothills - this is the most expensive Lavender essential oil, and the most effective. At altitude, the plant's chemical constituents change, producing an oil that heals faster and more noticeably than lower-grown varieties.
It's one of the key reasons the balm works so well on eczema, psoriasis, and irritated skin.
SWEET MARJORAM ESSENTIAL OIL
COMFORTING · WARMING · SEDATIVE
One of the most trusted oils in therapeutic aromatherapy for muscle and joint care. Marjoram is warming, gently sedative, and particularly effective for muscle spasm - helping the body release tension it's been holding.
SWEET ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL - ORGANIC
UPLIFTING · BRIGHT · DETOXIFYING
Originally included for its natural antidepressant properties - to lift the mood when pain from arthritis makes everything feel heavy - Sweet Orange also brings a gentle detoxifying benefit, supporting the lymphatic system and helping ease fluid retention around inflamed joints.
"Sunshine in a bottle. It's the lift in the blend."
BLACK PEPPER ESSENTIAL OIL - ORGANIC
WARMING · STIMULATING · PAIN-RELIEVING
The unsung hero of soothing body blends. Black Pepper gently warms the skin and underlying tissue, helping to ease aches and pains and stimulate circulation.
Fiona has been blending with it for over 30 years - especially for clients suffering from cold-related stiffness and joint pain.
PEPPERMINT ESSENTIAL OIL - ORGANIC
FRESH · CLEARING · COOLING
Cool and refreshing, Peppermint clears a tired mind, revives the senses, and brings a fresh contrast to the warming oils in the blend. It also supports headaches and busy, overworked minds - making the balm a genuinely restorative experience beyond just the physical.
EUCALYPTUS RADIATA ESSENTIAL OIL
COOLING · CLEARING · MUSCLE WARMING
Softer and more gentle than the commonly used Eucalyptus Globulus, Radiata cools sore, inflamed skin while warming the muscle beneath - a remarkable dual action.
It also clears airways, eases congestion, and brings a sense of spaciousness to the whole aromatherapy experience.
SHEA BUTTER - ORGANIC
NOURISHING · PROTECTIVE · SOOTHING
Sourced from a women's cooperative in Ghana, where Shea Tree nuts are collected, dried in the sun, and kneaded by hand.
Rich and deeply nourishing, it protects the skin from the elements, soothes irritation, and is one of the key reasons the balm works so effectively on eczema and psoriasis.
COCOA BUTTER - ORGANIC
DEEPLY NOURISHING · PROTECTIVE · REPLENISHING
With its gentle sweet, chocolate aroma, Cocoa Butter is deeply nourishing and acts as a natural, breathable barrier on the skin - protecting it without suffocating it.
It replenishes dry, depleted skin and leaves it feeling genuinely soft and restored.
VIRGIN COCONUT OIL - ORGANIC
HYDRATING · SOFTENING · HEALING
Rich in lauric acid, caprylic acid, and Vitamin E, virgin coconut oil has been used for generations to treat dry skin, soothe eczema, and calm irritation.
It leaves skin soft, replenished and gently glowing.
CALENDULA OIL
SOOTHING · HEALING · CALMING
Used for hundreds of years in natural medicine to soothe and heal the skin.
Calendula reduces redness, calms irritation, and supports the skin's natural healing process - a gentle but powerful addition for anyone dealing with sensitive or reactive skin.
ARNICA OIL
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY · HEALING · SOOTHING
A centuries-old remedy for bruising, muscle pain, swelling, and joint problems.
Arnica improves local circulation, reduces inflammation, and brings a genuinely soothing effect to overworked muscles and tender, aching joints.
OAT OIL
SOOTHING · CERAMIDE-RICH · RESTORATIVE
Rich in Beta Glucan and Essential Fatty Acids, Oat Oil conditions and calms the skin.
Crucially, it contains naturally occurring Ceramides - the lipids that hold skin cells together and retain moisture - helping to plump the skin and rebuild a healthy skin barrier over time.
SAFFLOWER OIL - ORGANIC
HYDRATING · REPAIRING · LIGHT
A light, fast-absorbing oil rich in Omega 6 & 9 and Vitamin E.
It softens and hydrates the skin, maintains its natural moisture levels, and stimulates cell turnover - helping the skin renew and repair itself. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
VITAMIN E (NATURAL)
ANTIOXIDANT · PROTECTING · NOURISHING
A powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from free radical damage - particularly valuable for city dwellers or those exposed to environmental stressors.
It also slows the visible signs of ageing and delivers a gently nourishing, conditioning effect on the skin.
100% NATURAL · VEGAN · CRUELTY-FREE · WATERLESS FORMULA · ETHICALLY SOURCED · HANDMADE IN SMALL BATCHES
No parabens, sulphates, petrochemicals, hydrogenated oils, artificial colours, artificial fragrances, or animal-derived ingredients. Ever.
