Summary
Tiger Balm Extra-Strength Ointment is designed to provide temporary relief for aches and pains. However, multiple customers noted this formula, which has a red color, stained their skin or clothes; they regretted not buying a version of tiger balm that was not red and wouldn’t stain—such as Tiger Balm Ultra.
