If you’ve ever woken up the day after a gym session or a long run and felt as though your body’s turned to stone, you’ll know just how valuable the right recovery products can be. Muscles ache, joints stiffen up, and even the simplest movements feel like a challenge. That’s where our Muscle Comfort Oil and Biofrost Gels step in – a small collection that packs a big punch.
We’ve paired two very different approaches to looking after tired muscles. On one side you’ve got the Hysan Muscle Comfort Oil, a traditional herbal blend that’s been trusted for generations. On the other, Biofrost Cool Gel and Biofrost Active Gel, clever modern formulas that bring fast cooling and soothing heat exactly where you need it. Between them, they cover just about every type of discomfort – whether it’s post-workout tightness, day-to-day stiffness, or the niggles that come from sitting at a desk for too long.
Hysan Muscle Comfort Oil – a classic for good reason
Hysan isn’t a new idea dreamt up by a lab last year. It’s based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, using herbs like lavender, peppermint, cinnamon, ginseng and pine. People have been turning to these plants for centuries to get the blood flowing and help muscles recover.
What makes Hysan so handy is that it’s light, quick-absorbing and not sticky, so you don’t end up feeling greasy after using it. A bit rubbed into sore shoulders after training or massaged into your lower back after a day at work can make all the difference. It warms and cools at the same time, easing tension and helping the body to repair itself.
It’s also surprisingly versatile. Plenty of people use it for stiff necks, general aches, insect bites in summer and even mild headaches. And because it’s a licensed product here in the UK and across Europe, you know it meets proper standards, which isn’t something you can say for every herbal oil out there.
Biofrost Cool Gel – instant chill for sore muscles
Where Hysan is about heritage, Biofrost Cool Gel is very much a modern solution. Think of it as a mess-free version of an ice pack. It gives you an immediate cooling sensation thanks to peppermint and eucalyptus, and that chill helps calm inflammation and soothe sore muscles.
Because it’s a gel, it goes on easily and absorbs quickly. There’s no greasy film and no sticky residue, which means you can use it in the gym changing room, at your desk, or before heading out for the day. It’s also vegan-friendly, which a lot of our customers appreciate.
For many, the best thing about it is how long it lasts. One application can keep the area feeling cool and relaxed for hours, so you can get on with whatever you’re doing rather than constantly reapplying. It’s a simple, effective bit of cold therapy without the faff.
Biofrost Active Gel – cool, then warm, then relief
If you like the sound of Biofrost but want something a bit more dynamic, Biofrost Active Gel might be the answer. It starts off with that same cooling hit, but then gradually changes to a gentle warmth. The result is a two-phase effect: inflammation is calmed first, then circulation is encouraged to speed up recovery.
It’s brilliant for sports recovery. Imagine finishing a heavy leg day or a long run: the cooling helps with the immediate soreness, while the warming relaxes the muscles and stops them seizing up later. It’s also great if you’re prone to stiffness and want to keep mobile.
Packed with 10 natural extracts, it’s non-greasy and absorbs quickly, so it won’t stain your clothes or slow you down. For anyone with an active lifestyle, it’s one of those products you end up reaching for again and again.
Why the mix works
The beauty of this collection is that it doesn’t force you to pick one approach.
Hysan Oil is for those who like a more natural, herbal feel and want something they can massage in.
Biofrost Cool Gel is the quick grab-and-go solution when you want icy relief that lasts.
Biofrost Active Gel sits somewhere in between – giving you both cooling and heat in one go.
Together, they give you the flexibility to tackle different needs: a stiff back from sitting too long, sore legs after hill sprints, or just the general wear and tear of a busy life.
Everyday ways to use them
After training: Cool your muscles with Biofrost straight after a session, then later in the day, use Hysan Oil for a proper massage to keep everything supple.
For ongoing stiffness: Switching between Cool Gel and Active Gel can help keep mobility up if you’re living with arthritis or regular aches.
At work: Keep Hysan Oil handy for rubbing into your neck or shoulders after long hours at the computer.
Outdoors: A tube of Biofrost is ideal in your rucksack for long walks, cycling, or travelling.
Everyday niggles: From insect bites to mild tension headaches, the herbal blend in Hysan often comes in useful.
Why people trust this range
The market is full of products that promise the world but either rely heavily on chemicals or feel like a gimmick. What sets these apart is the balance. You’ve got the heritage and natural approach of Hysan, and the science-backed, practical relief of Biofrost. Both are easy to apply, quick to absorb, and made to proper standards. And with vegan-friendly options too, they cover a wide range of lifestyles.
