The Recovery Moisturiser That Does More Than Just Hydrate
When it comes to muscle recovery products, most people are forced to choose between a moisturiser that nourishes their skin or a muscle rub that targets tension and discomfort.
At Vitalize, we asked a simple question:
Why can't you have both?
The result is KnotAway, a New Zealand-first recovery moisturiser that combines premium skin-loving ingredients with a carefully selected blend of magnesium, arnica and turmeric oil to create a unique daily recovery experience.
Designed for athletes, active individuals, tradies, busy parents and anyone dealing with the physical demands of everyday life, Knot Away helps you unwind, relax and recover while simultaneously supporting healthy, hydrated skin.
What Makes Knot Away Different?
Unlike traditional muscle rubs that can leave your skin feeling dry, greasy or overwhelmed by strong medicinal smells, Knot Away was formulated to become part of your daily routine.
At its core is a powerful blend of:
-
Magnesium Chloride
-
Arnica Oil
-
Turmeric Oil
-
Avocado Oil
-
Shea Butter
-
Coconut Oil
-
Peppermint Oil
-
Rosemary Oil
Together, these ingredients create a deeply nourishing moisturiser that helps soothe tired muscles while supporting skin health and hydration.
Why Magnesium Has Become One of the Biggest Wellness Trends
Over the past few years, magnesium has exploded in popularity across the wellness and recovery space.
Magnesium plays an important role in muscle function, relaxation and recovery, which is why athletes, runners and active individuals are increasingly incorporating magnesium products into their recovery routines. Recent wellness publications have highlighted growing consumer interest in topical magnesium products for muscle relaxation, recovery and evening wind-down rituals.
While research into topical magnesium continues to evolve, many people enjoy magnesium-based creams and lotions as part of their post-workout recovery and self-care routines.
Knot Away uses Magnesium Chloride, the most commonly used form of magnesium in premium topical recovery products.
The Power of Arnica for Recovery
Arnica has been used for generations by athletes and active individuals.
Derived from the Arnica Montana flower, arnica is commonly included in recovery formulations due to its traditional use in supporting recovery from bumps, bruises and post-exercise soreness. Knot Away contains Arnica Oil as one of its hero ingredients.
Research investigating topical arnica has found that users reported reduced perceived muscle tenderness following strenuous exercise, making it a popular ingredient within recovery products.
For anyone who trains hard, works long hours on their feet, or simply experiences everyday muscle tightness, arnica provides an excellent complement to Knot Away's recovery-focused formula.
Why We Added Turmeric Oil
Turmeric has become one of the most talked-about natural ingredients in both wellness and skincare.
Known for its antioxidant properties and long history of traditional use, turmeric is widely recognised for supporting skin health and helping maintain a healthy skin appearance. Studies have highlighted turmeric's antioxidant and skin-calming properties, making it increasingly popular in modern skincare formulations.
Our formulation incorporates Turmeric Root Oil to help elevate the overall recovery and skincare experience.
Premium Moisturising Ingredients That Your Skin Will Love
What truly separates KnotAway from traditional muscle rubs is the skincare foundation behind the formula.
Avocado Oil
Sourced from avocado pulp, avocado oil is renowned for its nourishing and moisturising properties. It helps support the skin barrier while delivering softness and hydration.
Shea Butter
Often called a "skin superfood", shea butter helps protect and nourish the skin while supporting softness and moisture retention.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil acts as a rich emollient, helping lock moisture into the skin while contributing to a smooth and luxurious feel.
The result?
A recovery moisturiser that leaves your skin feeling hydrated, nourished and refreshed—not greasy or sticky.
A Recovery Experience That Smells as Good as It Feels
We've all experienced muscle creams that smell like a medicine cabinet.
Knot Away takes a different approach.
The combination of peppermint, rosemary and natural botanical oils creates a refreshing aroma that feels invigorating after training and relaxing at the end of a long day.
The cooling sensation from peppermint and menthol helps create an immediate feeling of refreshment, making Knot Away a product you'll actually look forward to using.
