Freycinet Fresh Vapor Rub/Bushwalkers Balm is therapeutic, with decongestant, anti-inflammatory and skin healing properties.
Our luscious balm is handcrafted in small batches, using the following premium ingredients:
Tasmanian Olive Oil: We have sourced premium, extra-virgin, cold-pressed olive oil from Tasmanian growers. This premium oil is exceptionally high in Oleic acid and is rich in Vitamin E. Possessing richly emollient properties, together with wound healing abilities, this oil is also cleansing, anti-inflammatory and fights free-radical damage. Excellent for dry, sensitive and mature skin. A perfect base ingredient for our Vapor/Bushwalkers Balm.
Tasmanian Leatherwood Beeswax: Sourced from Tasmanian beekeepers who keep their hives amongst the world-renowned Leatherwood forests of Tasmania. Faintly sweet and Leatherwood-honey-scented, this luxury beeswax boasts beneficial skin softening properties and helps skin retain moisture.
Coconut Oil (refined): Plant-derived, skin softening, moisturising and rich in lauric acid, this oil has powerful antimicrobial and antiviral properties that supports and strengthens skin health.
Shea Butter (refined): Rich in Vitamins E & A, Shea Butter is a natural moisturiser, and perfect for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin.
Arrowroot: A fine, plant-based starch used to absorb and balance excess oils in skincare formulations.

Tasmanian Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus): The Floral Emblem of Tasmania, this well-known and deservedly popular essential oil, has many therapeutic properties.

Our Vapor Rub/Bushwalkers Balms are carefully formulated to remain firm in their tins across a range of warm and cool conditions, yet soften readily when in contact with skin for easy application and absorption.
To use, simply scrape out a small amount of balm, then transfer to fingertips or the palm of your hands. Rub your hands together, gently softening the balm, which can then be directly applied to skin. Apply to the chest, neck and shoulders (for colds and respiratory congestion) or body (topically, for sore muscles or minor skin injuries), as required.
Our Freycinet Fresh Vapor Rub/Bushwalkers Balm contains a range of natural ingredients (see Description for full list), plus essential oils diluted following recommended safety guidelines, and should be safe and gentle to use directly on the skin. However, if skin irritation occurs, discontinue use and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
It is recommended to seek medical advice before using essential oils if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have serious health issues.
For external use only. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Store away from light, below 30ºC.
