Why Catalyst Works
Why Catalyst Works
It’s not about numbing the surface. It’s about supporting what’s underneath.
Catalyst Cream was created for those who need more than a surface-level solution. Whether you’re recovering from physical strain, staying ahead of daily tension, or maintaining long-term mobility and tissue health, Catalyst is designed to work with your biology — not override it.
While many topicals rely on cooling agents or synthetic ingredients to distract the nervous system from pain, Catalyst uses a synergistic blend of natural compounds that support the underlying structures and processes involved in recovery.
Deeper Delivery = Smarter Support
At the core of Catalyst is DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), a tree-derived transdermal solvent used to help carry active compounds past the outer layer of skin. This means the supportive ingredients in Catalyst — like magnesium, MSM, arnica, vitamin C, and copper — don’t just sit on the surface. They have the potential to reach the fascia, connective tissue, and deeper structures where real recovery takes place.
Important: Catalyst is for external use only on clean, intact skin. DMSO should never be used on broken, irritated, or dirty skin, as it may enhance the absorption of unwanted contaminants. This product is not a drug and does not treat or cure any disease.
What’s Inside — and What It Does
Catalyst is built around ingredients that are physiologically relevant, highly absorbable, and selected to work together:
Support for Structure + Recovery
-Magnesium Chloride (Magnesium Oil): Involved in over 300 enzymatic processes, magnesium supports muscle relaxation, neuromuscular tone, and overall tissue recovery. Topical magnesium may help downregulate overactive tissue responses after physical stress.
-MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane): A bioavailable sulfur donor that supports collagen integrity, joint mobility, and antioxidant protection. Sulfur is a critical component of connective tissue architecture.
-Copper Gluconate: A trace mineral that serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in collagen crosslinking, tissue remodeling, and antioxidant defense. Particularly supportive for skin structure and vascular health.
Tissue Comfort + Circulation
-Arnica montana: Traditionally used to soothe muscle and joint discomfort, arnica supports local circulation and reduces visible swelling or bruising.
-Rosemary Extract: Rich in compounds like rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid, rosemary provides antioxidant support and may enhance microcirculation in stressed tissues.
-Menthol: Activates TRPM8 receptors in the skin, creating a cooling sensation that helps interrupt discomfort signals without numbing or masking true tissue feedback.
Antioxidant Defense + Skin Resilience
-Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate): A stable form of vitamin C that supports collagen synthesis, capillary integrity, and antioxidant protection, particularly in high-stress or inflamed tissues.
-Noni Powder: A Polynesian superfruit rich in phytonutrients, flavonoids, and trace minerals — traditionally used to support tissue tone and recovery from physical strain.
A Smarter Foundation: Grass-Fed Tallow
Catalyst’s base is grass-fed beef tallow — a nutrient-dense fat rich in saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), and cholesterol that closely mirrors human sebum.
-Supports the skin barrier and improves moisture retention
-Enhances delivery of both oil- and water-soluble compounds
-Doesn’t clog pores or leave a greasy film
-Offers ancestral synergy with a long history in topical healing
Unlike synthetic emulsions or seed oil bases, tallow nourishes while it delivers — creating a smooth, skin-compatible medium that supports both protection and penetration.
When to Use Catalyst Cream
Catalyst is versatile and designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle:
-After training or heavy physical activity
-Before or after bodywork, stretching, or mobility routines
-On localized areas of tightness, tension, or overuse
-For recovery after long workdays or intense manual labor
-As a daily ritual for aging, active, or injury-prone tissues
Rooted in Nature. Backed by Physiology.
Catalyst doesn’t rely on harsh chemicals, over-the-counter drug ingredients, or masking agents. Instead, it uses biologically active compounds, delivered intelligently, in a formula that your skin and tissues actually recognize.
While we don’t claim to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition, we do believe that your body is capable of incredible things — when given the right support.
Catalyst was designed to help you move better, feel better, and bounce back faster — no matter what life throws your way.
