Mangifera indica
Mango butter is a rich emollient derived from the kernel of the mango seed and naturally contains fatty acids including stearic and oleic acid.

Pentadesma butyracea

In Fortify, Kpangnan provides both deep skin conditioning and a botanical component specifically aligned with soothing worked and physically stressed areas.

In Fortify, Beeswax helps protect and condition the skin while binding the botanical ingredients into a concentrated body butter.
-
Arnica montana
Arnica is one of the best-known topical herbs for bruising, soreness, swelling, and discomfort associated with physical exertion or minor injury.

In Fortify, Arnica is a central recovery herb for soothing worked areas after training and physical activity.

Symphytum officinale

-
Ricinus communis
Castor oil is a rich, penetrating botanical oil composed predominantly of ricinoleic acid, a distinctive fatty acid associated with its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.

In Fortify, Castor Oil supports the formula’s soothing actions while providing a penetrating, long-lasting medium for application to worked muscles and joints.
-
Cannabis sativa
Hemp seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids, which contribute to skin barrier integrity, moisture retention, and overall skin health. Its lightweight texture allows it to nourish and condition without relying solely on the heavier butters in the formula. In Fortify, Hemp Seed Oil supports supple, resilient skin while complementing the richer botanical fats.
-
Zingiber montanum
Plai is a relative of ginger traditionally used in Thai medicine for muscular aches, sprains, inflammation, and physical discomfort.

In Fortify, Plai provides a distinctly recovery-focused aromatic component for worked muscles and physically stressed areas.
-
Boswellia serrata
Frankincense is an aromatic resin with a long history of topical use for soothing the body, supporting skin health, and easing areas of physical discomfort. Its essential oil contains volatile terpenes, particularly α-thujene and α-pinene, that contribute to its aromatic, antioxidant, and topical activity. Its warm, resinous aroma also provides a grounding quality that complements massage and restorative body care. In Fortify, Frankincense supports the formula’s soothing and skin-conditioning actions while bringing depth to its recovery-focused aromatic profile.
-
Lavandula angustifolia
Lavender is an aromatic nervine traditionally used topically for relaxation, skin care, and physical tension.

Baseline
Physical activity places repeated stress on the body through impact, loading, friction, sweat, and constant movement. Over time, the skin can become dry and depleted while muscles, joints, and surrounding tissues accumulate soreness, stiffness, and tension. Recovery requires more than rest alone, it also means caring for the tissues and skin that repeatedly carry the demands of movement.
