Solid Efficacy, Silky Finish.

Traditional herbal balms are often gritty or leave a sticky film. This blocks the absorption of herbal actives into the meridian points.

At Sheleys, we master “Bio-Lipid Matrix” Technology. We replace cheap petroleum jelly with a precision blend of Beeswax and Botanical Butters (Shea/Cocoa) that mimics the skin’s lipid layer. This allows our TCM actives—like Cassia and Borneol—to bypass the surface barrier and penetrate deep into the tissue, targeting “Stagnation” (Pain) at the source while leaving the skin silky smooth.

The Formulation Logic Behind TCM-Inspired Herbal Ointments

Herbal ointment formulation focuses on base structure and botanical delivery, rather than water-based performance.

Ointment Base Architecture

The ointment base determines:

  • firmness and melt behavior
  • spread resistance
  • duration of skin contact

Formulations are carefully balanced to:

  • remain stable across temperature changes
  • avoid graininess or phase separation
  • deliver consistent texture across batches

Botanical Integration & Consistency

Herbal components in ointments must:

  • disperse evenly throughout the base
  • maintain stable aroma and appearance
  • avoid sedimentation or texture inconsistency

Proper botanical integration is critical for both performance and shelf stability.

Customizing Herbal Ointment Product Line

Once usage scenario and texture preference are defined, customization typically focuses on three practical dimensions.

Formula Customization

Brands may customize based on:

  • firmness level (soft vs protective)
  • botanical aroma direction
  • sensory intensity preference

Options include:

  • single-herb storytelling ointments
  • balanced multi-herb formulations
  • fragrance-free or naturally aromatic systems

Packaging Solutions

Packaging for herbal ointments must support product protection, hygiene, and repeated use.

  • Aluminum Tins
    Suitable for traditional or premium positioning.
  • Plastic Jars
    Practical for daily home use.
  • Stick or Solid Formats
    Designed for clean, targeted application.

Quality & Testing

Herbal ointments require specific quality controls due to their semi-solid structure and prolonged skin contact.

  • Stability testing
    Confirms texture, color, and consistency over time.
  • Compatibility testing
    Ensures ointment base remains stable with packaging.
  • Microbial control
    Maintains product safety throughout shelf life.

Asked Questions

Traditional formulas use Beeswax. We can easily swap this for Candelilla or Soy Wax to make a 100% Vegan claim, which is very popular in the Western wellness market.

Infusion extracts the non-volatile compounds (like antioxidants and resins) that essential oils miss. It provides a more holistic healing effect and a richer, more premium skin feel.

Natural Base (Beeswax/Cocoa Butter) is the current trend for “Wellness” and “Mom & Baby” brands. Petrolatum is still king for “Hardcore Sports” and “Value” markets because it’s cheaper and very stable.

Absolutely. Traditional balms smell strong due to high Camphor. We can lower the Camphor and increase Peppermint, Citrus, or Lavender notes. This creates a “Spa-Like” version that appeals to younger consumers.
