NURIO Recovery Cream

Skin Recovery for Active Lives

Active lifestyles are hard on your skin. Daily wear, environmental exposure, frequent washing—your skin works as hard as you do, and it shows. Dryness, rough patches, tightness on elbows, hands, and feet. You need more than a basic lotion.

NURIO Recovery Cream is a rich, hydrating body cream designed for people who demand real performance from their skincare. Deep moisture from shea butter, coconut oil, and aloe vera repairs dry, overworked skin. Menthol delivers a refreshing cooling sensation that makes post-activity application feel like a reset. Botanical essential oils (lavender, peppermint) create a calming ritual that helps you transition from go-mode to recovery-mode.

This isn't recovery from injury—it's recovery from life. Your skin deserves the same care you give the rest of your body.

What's Inside:

• Aloe Vera Juice — Deeply hydrating and soothing. Aloe delivers moisture that penetrates and calms skin that's been exposed to sun, wind, or dryness.
• Coconut Oil & Shea Butter — Rich emollients that nourish and soften even the driest, roughest skin. These natural moisturizers create a protective barrier that locks in hydration all day.
• Grapeseed & Rosehip Oils — Antioxidant-rich oils that condition skin and support its natural barrier. Lightweight yet deeply nourishing, they absorb quickly without greasiness.
• Menthol — Provides a gentle cooling sensation that feels refreshing on warm, overworked skin. This is the signature feel that makes post-activity application so satisfying.
• Essential Oil Blend (Lavender, Peppermint) — Natural fragrance with botanical benefits. The calming scent helps create a ritual moment in your day—a sensory reset that signals your body it's time to rest and recover.
• Radish Root Ferment & Lactobacillus — Clean, naturally-derived preservatives. No parabens, no synthetic chemicals—just smart, natural preservation.
• Vitamin E — Skin-conditioning antioxidant that supports overall skin health and moisture retention.

What It Does:

• Deeply hydrates dry, overworked skin on hands, elbows, feet, and body
• Delivers a refreshing cooling sensation with menthol
• Softens rough patches and dry areas
• Creates a calming post-activity or post-shower ritual
• Supports skin's natural moisture barrier
• Fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture
• Provides all-day skin comfort
• Soothes skin exposed to sun, wind, or environmental stress

Who It's For:

Active people—runners, hikers, cyclists, gym-goers, outdoor enthusiasts—whose skin takes a beating from sweat, sun, and friction. Anyone with chronically dry hands, elbows, knees, or feet from daily wear. People who want a post-shower body cream that actually hydrates and feels amazing. Those seeking a gender-neutral, clean body care product that performs as hard as they do.

If you've been using basic lotion and your skin is still dry by midday, you need something richer. If you want a post-activity ritual that feels as good as it works, this is it.

What You'll Notice:

The cooling menthol sensation feels immediately refreshing on warm skin. Your skin absorbs the rich cream quickly without any greasy residue. Dry patches soften within minutes. The botanical scent creates a calming moment—a sensory break in your day. By the next morning, rough elbows and dry hands are noticeably smoother. With daily use, chronically dry skin stays comfortable, soft, and hydrated all day.

How to Use:

Apply generously to clean, dry skin—especially hands, elbows, knees, feet, or any areas prone to dryness. Use after showers, post-workout, or anytime your skin needs hydration and comfort. Massage in thoroughly. The cooling sensation kicks in immediately, and the hydration lasts all day.

Pro tip: Keep a jar by your shower and apply while your skin is still slightly damp. The moisture gets sealed in, and the cooling menthol feels incredible on warm post-shower skin.

What Makes This Different:

Most body lotions are thin, watery, and gone in an hour. This is a rich, performance-grade body cream that actually penetrates and lasts. The menthol cooling sensation sets it apart—it's not just hydration, it's a sensory experience that makes application something you look forward to. The botanical essential oils make it smell incredible without synthetic fragrances. And it's gender-neutral and unisex—designed for anyone who puts their skin to work.

No parabens. No synthetic preservatives. No greasy residue. Just clean, effective hydration for people with active lives.

This is body care that works as hard as you do.

4 oz jar. Unisex. Clean ingredients.

FIRST APPLICATION: IMMEDIATE COMFORT

The moment you apply it, the menthol cooling sensation kicks in—refreshing and soothing on warm, active skin. The rich cream absorbs quickly without any greasy residue, which is rare for such a deeply moisturizing formula. Your skin feels instantly softer and more comfortable. Dry, tight areas get immediate relief. The calming lavender and peppermint scent creates a sensory reset—a moment of calm after activity or a long day. This is the immediate payoff that makes you want to use it every day.

DAY 1-3: SUSTAINED HYDRATION

With each application, your skin stays hydrated longer than it does with basic lotions. Dryness doesn't return an hour later. Rough patches on elbows, hands, and knees start to soften noticeably. Your skin feels comfortable throughout the day—no tightness, no constant need to reapply. The cooling sensation becomes a ritual you look forward to, whether it's post-shower, post-workout, or before bed.

WEEK 1-2: VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT

Chronically dry areas are significantly softer and smoother. Rough elbows and cracked hands show clear improvement. Your skin barrier is strengthening—it's better at retaining moisture on its own, so you're not fighting constant dryness. The all-day hydration becomes your new normal. Skin that used to feel tight and uncomfortable by midday now stays soft and comfortable all day long.

WEEK 2-4: BARRIER RESTORATION

Your skin's natural moisture barrier has rebuilt itself with consistent daily use. The rich emollients (shea butter, coconut oil, grapeseed oil) have nourished and protected your skin, so it's more resilient to environmental stress. Dry patches are smooth, hands are soft, and feet are no longer cracked or rough. Your skin looks healthier overall—not just moisturized, but genuinely nourished. The cooling ritual has become an essential part of your daily routine.

ONGOING USE: MAINTAINED COMFORT

Continue daily application (especially post-shower or post-activity) to maintain results. Your skin stays soft, comfortable, and hydrated as long as you keep up the routine. Active lifestyles will always challenge your skin—this cream ensures your skin recovers from that daily wear. Regular use keeps dryness, roughness, and discomfort at bay, so your skin feels as good as the rest of your body.

Important Notes:

• Best applied to damp skin (right after shower) for maximum absorption and hydration lock-in.
• Results are fastest on hands, elbows, knees, and feet—areas with the driest, roughest skin see the most dramatic improvement.
• Consistency matters. One application feels great, but daily use transforms chronically dry skin into soft, comfortable skin that stays that way.
• The cooling sensation is immediate, but the deep hydration benefits are cumulative—the longer you use it, the healthier your skin barrier becomes.

Q: What does "recovery" mean for this product?

This is skin recovery—hydrating and nourishing skin that's been dried out, exposed to environmental stress, or worn down by daily activity. This is NOT a pain relief cream, muscle recovery treatment, or therapeutic product. It's a cosmetic body moisturizer designed to restore comfort and hydration to dry, overworked skin. Think of it as recovery for your skin barrier, not your muscles or joints.

Q: Does this help with muscle soreness or joint discomfort?

No. This is a hydrating body cream, not a topical pain reliever or therapeutic treatment. The cooling menthol sensation feels refreshing on skin, but it does not treat pain, inflammation, or physical discomfort. If you're looking for pain relief, this is not the right product.

Q: What does the cooling sensation feel like?

The menthol provides a gentle, refreshing cooling feeling on your skin—similar to the sensation you'd get from peppermint or eucalyptus. It's not intense or icy; it's a pleasant, soothing coolness that feels especially nice on warm skin after a shower or activity. The sensation fades after a few minutes as the cream absorbs.

Q: How do I use this?

Apply generously to clean, dry (or slightly damp) skin, focusing on areas prone to dryness—hands, elbows, knees, feet, or anywhere your skin feels rough or tight. Massage in thoroughly until absorbed. Use daily, ideally after showers or post-activity. The cooling effect kicks in immediately.

Q: What skin types is this for?

Best for normal to dry skin, especially on the body. Ideal for people with rough, dry patches on elbows, hands, feet, or knees. If you have very oily skin, you may find it too rich—but most people appreciate the deep hydration without greasiness. Safe for sensitive skin, though test the menthol on a small area first if you're concerned.

Q: Can I use this on my face?

It's formulated as a body cream, so it's richer than most facial moisturizers. The menthol cooling sensation may be too intense for facial skin, especially around sensitive areas like eyes. If you want to try it on your face, test a small amount first. For facial hydration, we recommend NURIO's face-specific moisturizers.

Q: Is this greasy or does it absorb quickly?

It's a rich cream, but it absorbs surprisingly fast without leaving a greasy residue. You can get dressed shortly after applying without it transferring to your clothes. The formula is designed to be deeply moisturizing while still feeling comfortable and lightweight once absorbed.

Q: Is this unisex/gender-neutral?

Yes. This is designed for anyone—men, women, non-binary individuals—who needs effective body hydration. The botanical scent (lavender, peppermint) is clean and fresh, not gendered. The formula works for all bodies.

Q: What does it smell like?

A fresh, botanical blend of lavender and peppermint from natural essential oils. The scent is noticeable when you apply it but not overpowering. It's calming and clean—not heavily perfumed or synthetic. The scent fades after application.

Q: Can I use this after workouts or outdoor activities?

Absolutely. This is ideal for post-activity use. The cooling menthol feels especially refreshing on warm, active skin. The rich hydration replenishes moisture lost to sweat and environmental exposure. Many active people use this as their post-workout or post-hike ritual.

Q: Is this safe for sensitive skin?

The formula uses clean, gentle ingredients (aloe, shea butter, coconut oil, natural preservatives). However, menthol can be sensitizing for some people. If you have very sensitive or reactive skin, do a patch test first on a small area. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use.

Q: Can I use this if I'm sensitive to menthol?

If you're very sensitive to menthol or experience irritation from cooling products, this may not be the right choice. The menthol is gentle, but it's noticeable. Test on a small area first, or consider one of our other body moisturizers without menthol.

Q: How much should I use?

A nickel-sized amount covers one large area (like an arm or leg). For full-body use, you'll need about a tablespoon or two depending on your size and how dry your skin is. Focus on the driest areas first—hands, elbows, knees, feet—then use any extra on larger body areas.

Q: Can I use this on my hands before bed?

Yes. Many people love this as a nighttime hand cream. The rich hydration works overnight, and you'll wake up with noticeably softer hands. The cooling sensation is also relaxing before bed.

Q: Is this pregnancy-safe?

The ingredients are generally considered safe for topical use during pregnancy (aloe, shea butter, coconut oil, essential oils at low concentrations). However, some people avoid menthol or certain essential oils during pregnancy. Consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns.

Q: How long does one jar last?

With daily full-body use, one 4 oz jar lasts approximately 2-4 weeks. If you're using it primarily on hands, elbows, and feet (targeted dry areas), it can last 4-6 weeks or longer.

Q: Can I layer this with other products?

Yes. This works well as a standalone body moisturizer, or you can layer it over body serums or oils if you want extra hydration. Let it absorb fully before getting dressed.

Q: Should I use this before or after sun exposure?

Use this after sun exposure (post-shower or end of day) to hydrate and soothe skin. This is NOT a sunscreen and does not provide UV protection. Always use SPF for sun protection.

Q: Is this made with clean ingredients?

Yes. Natural preservatives (radish root ferment, lactobacillus) instead of parabens. Botanical essential oils instead of synthetic fragrance. Rich plant-based oils and butters. Clean, effective formulation.

Q: Can men use this?

Absolutely. This is a unisex product designed for anyone who needs deep body hydration. Many men use this for dry hands, rough elbows, or post-workout skin comfort.

Q: Does this help with cracked heels or rough feet?

Yes. The rich emollients (shea butter, coconut oil) deeply moisturize and soften even the toughest, driest areas like heels and feet. Apply generously to feet at night, and you'll see significant improvement within a week.

Q: How should I store this?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the lid tightly closed to preserve the formula. Don't leave it in a hot car or steamy bathroom for extended periods.

Q: Can I use this daily?

Yes. Daily use is recommended for best results, especially if you have chronically dry skin or an active lifestyle. The more consistently you use it, the better your skin barrier becomes at retaining moisture.
