 Active Recovery Cream

For generations, the most skilled herbalists in East Asia understood that caring for the body was not something you did after it broke down. It was a daily practice — a discipline of preparation, maintenance, and renewal carried out with the same intention as any other form of cultivation. The formulas they developed were not remedies. They were tools for preserving the condition of the body across a lifetime.

The CG Formulas™ Herbal Body Cream is rooted in that tradition. Developed from a preserved family lineage that worked closely with royal families in East Asia, this fast-absorbing botanical cream is crafted for anyone who wants to care for their body with the same quality of attention that the earth’s finest herbs have always deserved. Whether you move through demanding days, carry physical responsibilities, or simply want to maintain the condition of your body over the long term — this cream was made for you.

How to Use

  • Apply a small amount to the desired area and massage in using circular motions until absorbed
  • Use before, during, or after demanding activity — or as part of a daily body-care ritual
  • Suitable for back, shoulders, neck, thighs, knees, hips, elbows, wrists, and hands
  • Pairs well with the Active Recovery Roll-On Gel for more targeted application
  • For external use only

How It Feels & Smells

Rich and nourishing on application, absorbs without leaving a greasy residue. Clean, refreshing scent from the natural botanical blend — no artificial fragrances.

Key Botanicals

A proprietary blend of traditional East Asian botanicals, each selected according to its role in the original formula and carried in a nourishing plant-based cream base:

  • Clematis — a classical herb used in East Asian herbal preparations for generations
  • Stephania tetrandra — historically valued in traditional East Asian formulas
  • Arctium lappa (Burdock) — traditionally used for its cleansing and supportive properties
  • Panax Ginseng — a foundational botanical in East Asian herbal tradition
  • Lycium barbarum (Goji Fruit) — antioxidant-rich botanical used in traditional wellness formulas
  • Morus alba bark — traditional herb used in East Asian herbal preparations
  • Polygonum multiflorum root & Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice Root) — harmonizing herbs used in classical formulas
  • Aloe Vera, Jojoba & Sunflower Seed Oil — clean, plant-derived carriers that absorb without heavy residue
  • Shea Butter — nourishes and conditions skin during application
