As the temperature drops and winter settles in, many of us start to feel the familiar twinges of seasonal discomfort - stiff joints, aching muscles, and that deep chill that’s hard to shake. Cold weather can exacerbate musculoskeletal issues, making daily movement more difficult and even affecting sleep and mood.

At Zea, we understand the challenges that come with winter aches and pains. That’s why we’ve developed a natural, effective range of products to help you stay active, warm, and comfortable all season long.

Why Does Pain Feel Worse in Winter?

Colder temperatures can cause muscles to contract and joints to stiffen, reducing circulation and increasing sensitivity to pain. For those managing conditions like arthritis, back pain, or muscle fatigue, winter can be particularly tough.

That’s where Zea’s natural pain relief solutions come in - designed to support your body and ease discomfort without relying on harsh chemicals or synthetic ingredients.

1. Kunzea Pain Relief Cream – Your Everyday Winter Essential

Our Kunzea Pain Relief Cream is a winter must-have. Formulated with Kunzea ambigua, Rosemary, Tasmanian Lavender, and Vitamin E, this fast-absorbing cream helps reduce inflammation, ease aches, and support circulation - perfect for relieving discomfort brought on by the cold. Kunzea Pain Relief Cream targets pain at the source, while Rosemary and Lavender add gentle warmth and calm to tense areas.

Lightweight and non-greasy, it’s ideal for daily use on common problem areas like the back, neck, shoulders, and knees. Vitamin E also helps nourish dry winter skin, making this cream both restorative and soothing. Whether you're starting your day or winding down, it’s a simple, natural way to stay mobile and comfortable all winter long. 

Pro tip: For extra relief on cold days, apply the cream after a warm shower or bath when your pores are open - this enhances absorption and allows the Kunzea and Rosemary to deeply penetrate and ease tension faster.

2. Kunzea Roll On Liniment – On-the-Go Relief

Cold weather often brings increased tension in the neck, shoulders, and lower back. Kunzea Roll On Liniment offers convenient, mess-free relief exactly when and where you need it. Formulated with a soothing blend of Kunzea ambigua, Nerolina, Rosemary, and nourishing Jojoba Oil, it works to ease muscle tightness, calm inflammation, and promote circulation - especially helpful in chilly conditions that stiffen joints and muscles.

The roll-on design makes it easy to apply to hard-to-reach areas without needing to rub it in - ideal for busy days, office settings, or winter outings.

Pro Tip: Roll onto tight spots like the neck, shoulders, or temples as soon as you feel tension. Keep one in your coat pocket, desk drawer, or gym bag for quick, natural relief all winter long.

3. Kunzea Concentrated Massage Oil – Deep Relief After a Long Day

If your body’s feeling tight and tense after braving the cold, unwind with our Kunzea Concentrated Massage Oil. Infused with the powerful anti-inflammatory properties of Kunzea ambigua, it helps to soothe stiff muscles and reduce joint pain after a long day or intense workout. The oil’s deep-penetrating formula works wonders for relieving tension, increasing circulation, and supporting muscle health during the colder months.

Ideal for a calming evening routine, this oil is also great for post-exercise recovery or as a soothing treatment after a day in the cold. The rich, nourishing oil works beautifully when massaged into the skin, helping to restore comfort and mobility.

Pro Tip: Apply 2-4 drops to tight areas such as the shoulders, lower back, or thighs, and massage in a circular motion to encourage deep relief. For an added winter treat, mix a few drops into your bath for an aromatic soak that targets aches while you unwind.

4. Kunzea Bath Salts – Soothe in the Soak

There’s nothing quite like a hot bath to melt away winter tension - and our Kunzea Bath Salts elevate the experience. They are a great addition to a warm bath or foot spa during the cooler months of the year when you’re feeling under the weather, or even just at the end of a long day.

They contain high levels of minerals in Magnesium to help relax the muscles, as well as Kunzea, which is reputed to have anti-inflammatory effects, antibacterial and antiviral properties. Combined with the relaxation properties of Lavender and Ylang Ylang, this is a great way to nurture your body.

Pro tip: Use before bed to improve sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.

5. Magnesium Oil – Support for Active Bodies in Winter

Don’t let the cold stop you from staying active. Our Magnesium Oil Topical Spray helps reduce muscle cramps, spasms, and post-exercise soreness. Made with a highly concentrated form of Magnesium Brine extracted naturally from the earth, it helps to quickly replenish Magnesium levels in the body, supporting muscle relaxation and easing winter-related aches. The fast-absorbing formula works wonders to relieve tension and improve flexibility, making it a must-have for the colder months.

Perfect for use after a long day or before bed, it helps reduce cramps and promotes relaxation, allowing you to unwind and stay mobile through the winter season.

Pro Tip: Spray it at night, right before bed, especially on calves, feet, or lower back to reduce cramps and support a restful sleep.

Extra Tip: Layer the Products for Deeper Relief

For even better results, layering Zea products is a great way to amplify their benefits. For example:

• Start with Magnesium Oil Topical Spray on clean skin to help relax the muscles.

• Follow with Kunzea Pain Relief Cream or the Kunzea Roll On Liniment for deep, targeted relief.

• End the day with a soak in our Kunzea Bath Salts for full-body relaxation.
