The tigerbalm is recommended by chiropodists for chilblains; one of my cousins has suffered all her life from them every Winter. It was her comment that came to mind when the OP said he couldn't get Snowfire anymore.
The ingredients for Snowfire are....
Petrolatum, Paraffinum, Cymbopogon nardus, Eugenia caryophyllus, Juniperus oxycedrus, Styrax benzoin, Thymus serpillum var citriodorus, Thymus vulgaris, Parfum, Cl 75810, Limonene, Eugenol, Citronellol, Geraniol, Linalool, Citral.
or, depending on the source ......
- Benzoin BPC 0.020% w/w.
- Citronella BPC 0.060% w/w.
- Thyme Oil 1949 BPC 0.010% w/w.
- Lemon Thyme Oil HSE 0.010% w/w.
- Clove Oil BP 0.040% w/w.
- Cade Oil BPC 0.040% w/w.
TIgerbalm....
Active Ingredients: Camphor 11% (Topical Analgesic), Menthol 10% (Topical Analgesic)
Inactive Ingredients: Cajuput Oil, Cassia Oil, Clove Oil, Dementholized Mint Oil and Paraffin Petrolatum
Both will soothe and warm the skin.
Neither are recommended for broken skin though.
The white version of the Tigerbalm, the Ultra one, is gentle enough to be used on hacks however.
I cannot see how clove oil ends up in the 'inactive ingredients' list though
clove oil is a long known to ease the pain of toothache.
The base though seems to be pretty much just a vaseline type of thing in both of them.
Seems as though both are just a moisturising and gently warming cream.
If it's a chapstick that the lady wants though, then vaseline do a lipsyl (three for £2.99 last time I saw them) but they also do those neat wee tins of vaseline with everything from Aloe Vera to Rose and a small tube of the stuff too.
