Why KONG?

We love the intensity of a classic balm. KONG starts with a simple question: can we build that kind of experience around beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter? The planned formula is our starting point. The finished product still has to prove itself.

Ingredients & allergies

The working formula includes camphor, menthol, cajuput oil, peppermint oil, clove oil, beeswax, coconut oil, shea butter, and vitamin E. It contains beeswax, so it is not vegan. Final ingredient specifications and allergy information will be available before sale.

One-time or a regular refill?

All options refer to the same planned $99 three-pack. The three- and six-month choices help us understand demand. Selecting one does not start a subscription or lock you into anything.

Testing & development

The product is in development. A manufacturer, finished formula, stability work, safety review, and final packaging must be confirmed before launch. There are no finished-product test results or certifications to claim yet.

How will I use it?

KONG is being developed as a topical balm. Application directions, precautions, and product claims will come with the final formulation and label. We are not publishing a usage regimen for an unmade product.

What should I expect?

Our target is a cooling and warming balm experience. Matching ingredient targets on paper does not establish identical sensation or performance. Those questions belong to the finished product.

Read past the front of the jar

You know the burn.
Do you know the base?

Tiger Balm Red's US label lists camphor and menthol as active ingredients. It also lists paraffin petrolatum among its inactive ingredients.1

KONG starts with two familiar targets and a proposed base of beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter.

11%Camphor target
10%Menthol target

KONG targets match these two listed concentrations. Finished-product performance has not been established.

What comes before
the first batch.

The direction is set. The product work comes next.

  1. DEFINEDThe product direction

    One balm. A petroleum-free base. A planned $99 three-pack.

  2. NEXTThe maker & final formula

    Confirm proportions, sourcing, packaging, and production.

  3. BEFORE LAUNCHTesting & the final label

    Complete finished-product testing and labeling before the batch ships.

The questions behind the decision

Let's talk about it.

What matters when you're considering a different balm.

THE QUESTION

“Will it have
the same kick?”

That is what the finished product has to prove.

The working brief targets 11% camphor and 10% menthol. Those are the two active concentrations on Tiger Balm Red's US label. A different base can change the experience, so we will not call it the same burn before we have tested it.

The KONG story

We loved
the original.
Then we read
the label.

Tiger Balm earned its place in gym bags and bedside drawers. We respect that. KONG began with the idea that the base could be different.

Familiar camphor and menthol targets. Beeswax, coconut oil, and shea butter beneath them. A clear jar that lets you see what is inside.

No bullshit means a formula you can read, a product we have tested, and a reason to choose it that holds up. That is the standard KONG has to earn.

One original. Wherever you keep it.

Make room for KONG.

The planned three-pack gives every jar a place.

01

The gym bag.

For the routine you already have.

02

The bedside.

Close to hand when the day slows down.

03

The spare.

Keep it ready, or give it to someone who gets it.

Intended pack format. Final storage and use instructions will follow the finished product.

Straight answers

Anything
else?

The details, before you decide.

Join the waitlist ↗
Is KONG available to buy?

Not yet. KONG is in development. The planned offer is three 50g jars for $99. The waitlist takes no payment and does not reserve a paid order.

Will early orders help make KONG?

That is the intended model. Paid early preorders would help fund the first production run. Joining the founding list today is free; you will choose separately whether to place an order once the exact offer, production status, estimated delivery and refund terms are available.

Will it feel as strong as Tiger Balm?

That has not been tested. KONG's working brief targets 11% camphor and 10% menthol, matching the two active concentrations on Tiger Balm Red's US label. The base and finished formulation can change the sensation.

What is in the planned formula?

Camphor, menthol, cajuput oil, peppermint oil, clove oil, beeswax, coconut oil, shea butter, and vitamin E. The complete composition, ingredient specifications, and final label still need to be confirmed with a manufacturer.

Is it vegan?

No. The working formula includes beeswax. Final allergy information will be provided with the finished product.

When does it ship?

There is no shipping date yet. Before paid early preorders open, we need a manufacturer-backed production plan and a credible estimated delivery window. We will state what is still in development and explain the refund terms before taking payment.

How long will a jar last?

The planned pack contains 150g across three 50g jars. How long that lasts depends on the amount, area, and frequency of use. We will measure consumption on the finished product before giving a duration estimate. Three jars are not a 90-day treatment course. Final directions will come with the tested product.

Does KONG expire?

The finished product will need a shelf life supported by stability testing and storage directions. We cannot promise that it never expires. Three jars are intended for home, your training bag, and a spare used within the final labeled shelf life.

Why only a three-pack?

We are starting with one product and one planned pack: three 50g jars at $33 each. A single jar of an established balm is a smaller commitment. Your waitlist preference helps us understand whether this format fits.

Does selecting a refill plan subscribe me?

No. The three- and six-month options are tentative preferences for launch research. You are not placing an order, starting a subscription, or giving payment details.

Are the images of the real product?

No. Product images are concept renders. Clear glass and a gold lid are the packaging direction; the final jar may differ.

Is a petroleum-free balm automatically safer?

No. Leaving out petroleum is a formulation choice, not proof that KONG is safer. Safety, stability, directions, and appropriate claims must be assessed for the finished product.
