1
Twice The Strength
Some days we need a little more support. This formula has double the capsicum and ginger tinctures of our original cream and the result is a noticeably stronger warmth for anyone who has found the original too mild. Ideal for those seeking a stronger warming sensation for areas of tension or stiffness. The base and how you use it stay the same, only the strength changes.
2
Made For Muscles & Joints
Hill walks, gardening, long days at a desk and cold mornings all leave their mark. Warm a small amount of Napiers Double Strength Capsicum and Ginger Warming Cream between your fingertips and massage it into the shoulders, back, knees or calves. Use it before activity, after warming up, or whenever tight, tired areas need comfort, up to two to three times a day.
3
Warming Spices Meet Traditional Botanicals
Our key ingredients (capsicum and ginger) are blended carefully with arnica and comfrey - two more of our herbalist's most trusted botanicals for muscles and joints. They're joined by black pepper, juniper berry, cajeput and sweet marjoram, oils long used in traditional massage blends, with a touch of lavender. The result is a naturally herbal scent, free-from artificial fragrance.
4
Absorbs Fast, No Greasy Residue
Sunflower and sweet almond oil do the work here, carrying the cream smoothly into the skin with nothing greasy left behind. Both are rich in vitamin E and have long been valued for keeping skin soft and hydrated. Ideal for massaging in to muscles and joints.
5
Crafted by herbalists, backed by heritage
From our Edinburgh beginnings in 1860, Napiers' motto has been: tried, tested, trusted. Our Double Strength Warming Cream carries that same spirit: a traditional herbal formula, made stronger for those who need it, rather than a generic mass-market rub. What you'll notice: the confidence that you're using a cream grounded in 165 years of herbalist experience and a genuine commitment to ingredient quality.
