Un-clench Calming Jaw Balm in its brushed aluminium tube
A first · formulated for the jaw

Calming Jaw Balm

£16

The muscles that carry your clench — the masseter at the jaw angle, the temporalis at your temples — respond beautifully to warmth and massage. This is the first balm formulated specifically for them: warming, calming, and made for the end-of-day release ritual.

Who it's for

  • Desk clenchers with a tight, tired jaw by evening
  • Anyone waking with jaw ache who wants a morning release routine
  • Pairs with the Release Tool for deeper trigger-point work
  • Works alongside any plate — or on its own

Un-clench is the only company that has dedicated its entire existence to jaw clenching and tooth grinding. Every hour of research, every product and every clinician we work with exists to do one thing: relieve the clench — using the latest clinical science, built to the standard of the leading experts we work with.

What's inside — and why.

Magnesium chloride

Mineral-rich

The classic massage mineral, delivered where the tension lives. Its inclusion makes the balm feel substantial and softening as you work it into the muscle.

Arnica montana

Botanical extract

The traditional massage botanical, long used to support recovery-focused massage. It earns its place in any formula built around working a hard-used muscle.

Warming complex

Gentle heat

A mild warming agent creates the gentle heat that makes jaw massage effective — warmth relaxes, and relaxed muscle releases.

Shea butter & vitamin E base

Nourishing carrier

A rich, slow-absorbing base that gives your fingers the glide a proper masseter massage needs, and leaves the skin conditioned rather than greasy.

Full INCI ingredient list is printed on every tube and finalised with our UK manufacturer under a certified cosmetic safety assessment. This is a cosmetic massage product — it supports your release routine and is not a medicine.

How to use it.

01

Squeeze a pea-sized amount onto two fingers at the end of the day — or whenever the jaw feels held.

02

Locate the masseter: clench briefly and feel the muscle bulge at the angle of your jaw. Unclench, then massage the balm in slow, firm circles for 60–90 seconds each side.

03

Sweep upward to the temples and repeat with lighter pressure. Breathe out as you work — the exhale is part of the release.

04

Pair with the Release Tool for deeper trigger-point work, or finish with a warm compress before bed.

Good questions.

Will this stop my clenching?+
No — and nothing you rub on your skin honestly will. What the balm does is make the muscles that carry your clench feel better: warmth plus massage is a genuinely effective way to release an overworked masseter. For the habit itself, the Day Plate and habit programme do that work; for night protection, the Night Plate.
Is it safe for daily use?+
Yes — it's a cosmetic massage balm formulated for daily use on the jaw, temples and neck. Avoid broken skin and the eye area, and stop if irritation occurs, as with any topical.
Does it smell clinical?+
No — the base is warm and skin-like rather than mentholated. It's designed to be part of a wind-down ritual, not to announce itself across the room.
When will I feel something?+
The warming effect builds within a minute or two of massage and lasts around twenty minutes — which is exactly the window in which slow, firm massage does its best work.
