KPV Balm FAQs

1. What is Arthritis Smash Balm designed for?
Arthritis Smash is a topical wellness balm formulated to support joint comfort, flexibility, and recovery with a blend of peptides, botanicals, and warming agents.

2. What is KPV Tripeptide and why is it included?
KPV is a naturally occurring tripeptide in humans associated with calming and balancing joint responses.

3. How do collagen peptides help in a topical balm?
Collagen peptides (Types I, II, III, V, and X) support skin conditioning and are commonly used to help maintain the feel of firmness and resilience around joints.

4. Why does the balm feel warm after application?
The warming sensation comes from camphor and capsicum extract, which gently stimulate the skin for a soothing, comforting heat effect.

5. Is the warming sensation intense?
No. The formula is designed to provide a moderate, comfortable warmth—strong enough to feel effective without being overwhelming for daily use.

6. How long does the warming effect last?
Most users experience warmth within a few minutes, lasting approximately 30–60 minutes, depending on application amount and skin sensitivity.

7. Why is lecithin included in the formula?
Lecithin helps evenly disperse powdered ingredients like collagen and peptides throughout the balm, ensuring consistent texture and performance in every stick.

8. Does this balm contain water?
The balm is primarily oil-based, with only a small amount of water used to properly dissolve peptides for smooth, even distribution.

9. Why is phenoxyethanol used?
Phenoxyethanol is a cosmetic-grade preservative included to maintain freshness and product integrity, especially due to the presence of peptides.

10. What makes Arthritis Smash different from standard joint balms?
Unlike typical balms, Arthritis Smash combines bioactive peptides, multi-type collagens, and plant-based oils with traditional warming ingredients for a more advanced formulation.

11. How often can I apply Arthritis Smash?
Apply 3 times daily for maximum effectiveness.

12. Is this balm greasy or heavy on the skin?
No. The balance of beeswax, butters, and oils allows the balm to glide smoothly, absorb well, and leave a protective finish for 2-3 hours much like a patch.
