Spa Ceylon Ayurveda's Relax Foot Relief Balm is a solid balm made in Sri Lanka, formulated around a base of virgin coconut oil and beeswax and scented with a considered blend of essential oils. It belongs to the brand's Relax line and carries the Tridosha designation, meaning it is considered in the Ayurvedic tradition to be suitable for all dosha and skin types.
The ingredient list reads as a fairly direct expression of Sri Lankan Ayurvedic practice. Virgin coconut oil and beeswax form the balm's body — the wax giving it a firm, portable consistency that melts readily on contact with skin. Into that base go peppermint oil, menthol, camphor, lemongrass leaf oil, eucalyptus leaf oil, clove bud oil and tocopheryl acetate. The result is a cool, sharp, distinctly aromatic balm with a scent that is brisk rather than floral — the kind that registers immediately and lingers for a while after application.
Spa Ceylon was founded in 2009 and draws on a family background of more than five decades in Ayurveda health and beauty manufacturing. The brand combines that heritage with contemporary packaging design and a set of sourcing commitments that are printed on the product itself: alcohol free, against animal cruelty, promotes sustainable harvesting, 100% vegetarian, and supports community fair trade.
To use it, apply the balm over the feet, ankles and calves, massage it in gently and leave it on. It can be re-applied as needed. The balm is for external use only. The 25 g jar is a compact format, easy to keep in a bag or on a bedside table, and the 50 g size is available for those who go through it quickly.
