What is included in this kit?

The kit contains kombo butter, shea butter, cocoa butter, and traditional coconut oil — equal parts at your chosen size — plus the full recipe and step-by-step instructions via QR code on the packaging. Everything you need except basic kitchen tools and optional essential oils.

How do I access the recipe?

The full Kombo Muscle Balm recipe and step-by-step instructions are available via the QR code printed on your kit packaging. Scan it before you begin — it includes essential oil recommendations and technique tips specific to working with kombo butter.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

Yes — the Kombo Muscle Balm is a straightforward four-ingredient recipe ready in about 30 minutes. The key technique notes are straining after melting and cooling gradually at room temperature. The QR code recipe walks you through every step.

How should I store the kit ingredients and the finished balm?

Store raw ingredients in a cool, dry place at 60–70°F (15–21°C) away from direct sunlight — they last 2+ years. Store the finished balm in an airtight container in a cool, dry place — it stays fresh for 6–12 months.

Is this balm safe for everyone?

All four ingredients have long histories of safe topical use. Always perform a patch test on a small skin area first, particularly if you have known sensitivities. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. If pregnant, nursing, or managing a medical condition, consult your healthcare provider before use.

How does the Kombo Muscle Balm compare to synthetic muscle rubs?

Synthetic commercial muscle rubs use menthol or capsaicin to create a cooling or warming sensation. The Kombo Muscle Balm uses four pure, traditionally processed African botanical ingredients — with kombo butter's uniquely high myristoleic acid as the hero. No synthetic chemicals, no artificial fragrance — just traditionally valued botanical ingredients in a formula you control completely.

Does buying this kit support the women in Ghana?

Yes. Every Baraka kit purchase supports fair trade women's cooperatives in Northern Ghana who handcraft the shea butter, communities who sustainably harvest kombo butter, and small-holder farmers who produce the cocoa butter and coconut oil.
