Weleda Arnica Muscle Massage Oil, 3.4 Fl Oz

A small pump bottle of plant oil for the slow, hands-on end of the routine.

The oil step is the quiet end of the routine: a few minutes of slow strokes over legs the tools have already worked. This Weleda oil comes in a 3.4 fl oz (100 ml) pump bottle, and the listing names arnica flower extract and birch in a base of sunflower and olive oils. The pump matters more than it sounds – one hand doses while the other stays clean.

The listing gives no full ingredient list and does not describe the scent, so read the label if you react to plant extracts; arnica belongs to the daisy family. As a general rule, arnica oils are for unbroken skin only – keep it off cuts, scrapes and blisters, and away from your eyes.

Tip: Use it after the roller and the massage gun, never before – oil on a roller is a slip, and oil on a gun head is a cleaning job.
