Ingredients
that hit the spot
Completely natural, vegan, cruelty-free, and biodegradable! We’ve harnessed the power of nature and science.
Yes! Our Muscle & Joint Patches are available in Boots and Sainsburys. Find your closest store on our Store Finder at the bottom of the page.
Neither! Most people describe it as a tingling sensation that lasts for the first 30 minutes once you apply the patch. After that it does its thing and helps take the edge off! Unlike hot water bottles the ingredients release over a 12 hour period.
Our Patches are beige because this is the colour of the natural fibres we use to create them, with zero additional nasties such as artificial colours or chemical-filled dyes. We're working on making them the BeYou teal colour (or maybe transparent) but so far we have not found anything natural that keeps the effectiveness of our patches intact! As we say though, we're working on it so watch this space!
Our Muscle & Joint Patches are made from natural plant fibres and contain a proprietary matrix arrangement of Menthol and Eucalyptus Oil, enveloped with an adhesive made from tree sap. It is a naturally derived medical-grade polymer blend and contains no nasties.
Front, back, legs, breasts - you can use them wherever you need to; all day, or all night - or both! All you need to do is place it directly onto your skin and the patch will get to work for up to 12 hours, so you can tackle your day (or night)!
Yes! The essential oils are proven to release consistently over 12 hours. Of course some people prefer to change the patch or take it off sooner, but that’s down to individual choice.
Yes you can use two patches at the same time.
If you are allergic to either eucalyptus, menthol, or plasters, we advise you to not use our product. If you are not sure, we advise testing it out on a small area first. If any irritation arises please take the patch off immediately and seek medical help. The patches are high in Menthol too, which can irritate your skin so it's worth doing a patch test first.
Everything in the patch is natural so unless you are allergic to any of the ingredients, you shouldn’t get any irritation. However, if you do suffer from extremely sensitive skin, we advise you to test it out on a small area first.
Pro Tip: If you have sensitive skin, you can still use the patch, but we advise taking the patch off in the shower (once it has become wet) as the water will make it really easy to take off (so any irritation should be minimised).
When it comes to pregnancy and breastfeeding, there is some anecdotal evidence to show that menthol can reduce the amount of milk produced. While that can be great for engorgement, it's not the intended purpose so we'd stay clear until breastfeeding is over.
Make sure that you always remove the Muscle & Joint Patch with warm water. You’ll need to do this to loosen the strong, sticky adhesive that is made to last for up to 12 hours.
It’s simple really, you can either remove these patches whilst in the shower or bath, at the end of your day or just before your day - or take a damp cloth and pat the patches until it is damp and peels off easily. This is a requirement, not a recommendation. It’s a Muscle & Joint Patch, not a wax strip ;)
Absolutely! We pride ourselves on the fact that our Muscle & Joint Patches are Vegan; being completely cruelty-free with no nasty-animal derived ingredients.
No, the BeYou Muscle & Joint Patches are not tested on animals.
Hot water bottles are notoriously hard to keep in place - and should only be used for 30 minutes at a time. They also won’t stay at the soothing temperature you want for more than a few hours so you have to keep changing them. Heat patches are bulky and mostly stuck on clothes which can drape off while sleeping. The BeYou patches go directly onto the skin, are ultra thin (we’re talking less than 0.3mm thick!!!) and release the ingredients over 12 hours - so even if you’re going into hibernation mode, you can put a patch on and it’ll last until you wake up!
Yes, the BeYou patches are significantly thinner than anything else on the market. Measuring less than 0.3mm in thickness, that’s similar to heavy duty foil you use, or a credit card (but obviously a super flexible one made from fabric!
No - the water will almost certainly make it fall off! Swimming is a great, low-impact exercise to help stretch out your muscles and help ease period cramps so don’t be put off! Just be sure to dry your skin properly before applying the patch again!
Yes they do, they smell of menthol and eucalyptus. However, for most part, only you can smell it because the scent is usually trapped inside your clothing and can escape up the top towards your nostrils! That said, most people love the smell anyway so it’s not a big deal!
Yes, the menthol sensation is often thought of as a hot cooling - vs being obviously hot or cold. So it’s very normal!
You can definitely do some light movement with the patches on. They’re designed to stretch in all directions and move with your body / skin.
Yes.
In a cool place (but not too cold!).
You can only use each patch once. However, that’s currently the only way to make sure the ingredients are released over 12 hours.
The BeYou Muscle & Joint Patch is 100% natural and has no added chemicals. We'd always advise discussing with a medical professional if they have recommended you take regular medication before using the Muscle & Joint Patch.
Our patches don’t generally fall off. If, for some reason, your patch does become loose or falls off, we always advise using a new one. This is because they are designed to stay put. The primary reason it might fall off or not stick properly is if the area you are putting it on is too wet, or has become wet (e.g. in the shower or excessive sweating). If it is because of sweat, then the likelihood is that the same patch won’t stick back on as it has already lost its integrity.
Yes it will so don’t pull it off hard, this isn’t a wax strip! Gently hold the skin and peel it off slowly. Having said that, you can use some warm water to help remove it, or you can just peel it off slowly in the shower.
The packaging can be recycled by 92% of curb-side recycling collections. It is also made from recycled materials. The Muscle & Joint Patches are not recyclable but they are biodegradable within 36 months.
