ULTIMATE2025

“You can tell straight away that this balm means business! The scent is fresh and herbal and it’s surprisingly non-greasy for something so packed with goodness. I used it on tight shoulders and lower back tension and noticed a real shift- not just a surface-level tingle, but a deeper, lasting ease.”

“MUSCLE-AID acts fast. Relief from sore muscles comes quickly, and because the formula is so concentrated, a little goes a long way. The organic mangosteen and polyphenol-rich superfruit blend sets it apart from anything else in the category.”

Liposomal botanicals

Liposomal botanicals.

In ULTIMATE we use liposomal mangosteen, ginger, turmeric and vitamins C & E; in MUSCLE-AID, liposomal mangosteen and vitamins C & E.

Liposomes are tiny lipid carriers designed to improve the delivery of active ingredients into the skin—helping bring the botanical chemistry in your balm where it’s intended to work.

Now made with liposomal botanicals.

Explore liposomal botanicals
Grampians Olive Co extra virgin olive oil, virgin coconut oil and organic beeswax

The Base

Most creams start with water (typically 75–85%). Ours start with olive oil, coconut oil and beeswax.

ULTIMATE and MUSCLE-AID are built on Grampians Olive Co organic extra virgin olive oil, organic virgin coconut oil and East Gippsland organic beeswax, so a little goes a long way.

INSIDE ULTIMATE

Every ingredient has a reason.

Purple mangosteens, one opened to show white segments, beside a glass dish of deep-red mangosteen powder on a dark bench.

Mangosteen

Target the pathways that keep pain switched on.

Why it’s here

Sore, painful joints are driven by inflammatory pathways that keep pain switched on. Mangosteen’s α-mangostin has been studied right across them — NF-κB, COX-2 and PGE₂, and the MMP-13 and ADAMTS-5 enzymes that break down cartilage — and a mangosteen-containing cream matched diclofenac gel for knee pain in a 199-person randomised trial.

White magnesium salt crystals and powders in glass dishes beneath laboratory glassware on a dark bench.

Three Forms of Magnesium

Same mineral. Different chemistry.

Why it’s here

Magnesium sits at the heart of muscle and nerve function and acts as a natural gatekeeper at the NMDA receptor — one of the systems that amplifies pain. ULTIMATE brings magnesium chloride, magnesium sulphate and magnesium diglycinate together, giving three chemically distinct magnesium environments in one rich balm.

Pomegranate

Support sore joints under inflammatory stress.

Why it’s here

ULTIMATE uses premium pomegranate extract rich in powerful ellagitannins — studied for topical effects on COX-2 and inflammatory pathways involved in pain. In laboratory skin research, its punicalagins penetrated intact skin and cut COX-2 by 66.5% within six hours.

Green Tea & Grape

Support cartilage where inflammation drives breakdown.

Why it’s here

ULTIMATE uses green tea, whose EGCG has been studied directly in human osteoarthritis chondrocytes and human cartilage against the cartilage-degrading enzymes MMP-13 and ADAMTS-5 — plus grape seed, studied across pain behaviour, cartilage damage and sensory nerves, and grape skin, rich in resveratrol.

Fresh ginger with pale cut flesh and orange turmeric roots beside turmeric powder and laboratory glassware.

Ginger & Turmeric

Two roots, studied for anti-inflammatory action.

Why it’s here

Ginger reduced knee pain on standing in a 247-person randomised trial and eased muscle pain after hard exercise. Turmeric’s curcumin protected human cartilage cells from IL-1β-driven inflammation. ULTIMATE brings both in liposomal form, for warming comfort with serious research behind it.

Clove

Target pain signalling at the source.

Why it’s here

ULTIMATE uses eugenol-rich clove bud essential oil — its largest essential oil — studied for its effects on the sodium and calcium channels that carry peripheral pain signals, the same channels targeted by local anaesthetics. In randomised human studies, clove matched benzocaine and EMLA numbing preparations.

Antioxidant Superfruits

Nature’s most colourful chemistry.

Why it’s here

Açaí, goji and red-grape skin — some of the world’s most celebrated superfoods, prized for the deep purples and reds that signal an exceptional concentration of plant antioxidants. Goji boosted energy and athletic performance in a randomised study.

Bergamot & Bergamot Mint

Help ease the pathways that keep pain active.

Why it’s here

ULTIMATE uses premium bergaptene-free bergamot essential oil — rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, with research linking bergamot to pain modulation and inflammatory pathways — fine-tuned with bergamot mint to balance the formula’s stronger pain-modulating oils.

Vitamins C & E

The antioxidant partnership.

Why it’s here

Vitamin C is essential for collagen, the protein that gives skin and connective tissue their strength; vitamin E is the skin’s oil-soluble shield. Applied together they outperformed either vitamin alone in protecting skin — and both are liposomal in ULTIMATE.

ULTIMATE’s liposomal line-up is led by liposomal mangosteen, alongside liposomal ginger, liposomal turmeric (LipoAvail® curcumin) and liposomal vitamins C & E — nature’s most remarkable chemistry, made liposomal and built into a rich oil-and-wax balm.

FOUNDER STORY

If you live with pain every day, I get it.

I’ve lived with severe pain from back injuries and testicular nerve damage most of my life. I know what it’s like when pain starts controlling your sleep, your work, your movement — and how much of your life you get to live.

Rohan Cannon in intensive care in 2016
2016
2016

By 2016, after years of surgeries, medications and increasingly intensive pain treatment, I was desperately ill in hospital. Lying there surrounded by tubes and machines, I dreamed of getting my health back — of climbing mountains, swimming in tropical seas and actually living again.

That was the turning point.

I began questioning what I thought I knew about health and researching safer, more natural options. As I rebuilt my health, that research became an obsession.

2021

I progressively came off the NSAIDs, opioids and other pain medications I’d relied on for years. I began making what would become CannonBalm for my own aches and pains, and for my family to use too.

At first, it was just for us.

But everyone I shared it with kept telling me I needed to make it available to other people.

In 2021, CannonBalm became a business because I realised I couldn’t keep it to myself.

Two years later, I stood on a mountain above the Whitsundays at sunrise and watched a humpback whale and her calf breach below me.

That was the moment I realised I’d made it.

I was living the life I’d once dreamed about from a hospital bed.

The photograph was taken the following morning after the implanted morphine pump and spinal cord stimulator were surgically removed. Rohan is holding the actual explanted devices in front of him.

Today, my mission is to help other people living with pain — and few things mean more to me than hearing that CannonBalm has helped someone get more of their life back.

A NOTE FROM ROHAN

IF IT DOESN’T WORK FOR YOU, IT’S FREE.

Your first jar is covered by our 60-day money-back guarantee.

Rohan Cannon in the approved founder guarantee visual

I know that horrible feeling of spending money on something because you really hope it might help — and then finding out it doesn’t.

I spent an absolute fortune on things that didn’t work for me before I found what did.

So I totally get it.

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from living with pain for a very long time, it’s that there’s no one thing that’s right for everyone.

That’s why I wanted to make this simple. If CannonBalm doesn’t work for you, it’s free.

My first suggestion is to give the jar to a friend or someone you love. Something that wasn’t right for you might be just what they were looking for.

But if there’s nobody you think could use it, just contact us.

I’ll give you a full refund for your first jar. You can keep it.

60-day money-back guarantee. One claim per household.
