Alywillow helps you feel better—using plants, not synthetic ingredients or drugs.
What you put on your skin matters. Since the early 1990s, we’ve studied plants—their natural chemistry, properties, and interactions with the body—to guide the formulas we create today. We carefully select botanicals for their naturally occurring compounds and thoughtfully combine complementary plants to create two distinctive formulas: Riverflow and Minty Relief.
These formulas are incorporated into our cleansers and moisturizers, making botanical support an easy part of everyday life.
- Riverflow is centered on supporting the body’s natural sense of flow, movement, function, and balance
- Minty Relief provides fast botanical comfort for areas that feel tired, tense, sore, or overworked.
Instead of waiting until you feel uncomfortable to care for your body, these formulas make that care part of something you already do every day.
Two Formulas:
When applied through the skin, the botanicals in Minty Relief and Riverflow are understood to interact with sensory and physiological pathways involved in the perception of discomfort, muscle tension, circulation, and the body’s natural inflammatory response.
They can both help relieve pain and swelling, but they do so in very different ways.
RIVERFLOW - supporting the body’s natural flow, function, and balance
Our ancestors often spoke of the rivers of the body—the movement of air, blood, nerve signals, and other vital processes that must continually flow for us to function and feel well. Riverflow brings that old understanding into a modern botanical formula, using carefully selected plants to support healthy circulation, comfortable movement, nervous-system function, and the body’s natural responses to everyday physical stress.
Gentle enough for everyday use, Riverflow was created as a daily botanical companion for the whole family - including pregnant women and babies - not only for times of discomfort, but simply because supporting the body’s natural flow is part of supporting the body itself.
Rather than targeting a single symptom or condition, Riverflow is about supporting the interconnected systems that help the body maintain balance: when circulation moves freely, tissues receive what they need; when tension eases, movement becomes more comfortable; and when these systems work together well, people often simply describe feeling better.
MINTY RELIEF - fast comfort when your body needs relief
Unlike formulas intended primarily for gradual, long-term change, Minty Relief is designed around what many customers describe as a noticeably quick response—often a cooling sense of comfort, easing of soreness and stiffness, and greater freedom of movement within just a few minutes of application.
Designed to be used only when needed. Reapplication is an important part of the Minty Relief experience; many people find that repeated use builds upon the initial effect, providing greater or more sustained comfort as the body settles and tension eases.
For thousands of customers, Minty Relief has become a natural, plant-based option for moments when aching muscles, joints, overworked tissues, or everyday physical strain call for fast, uncomplicated comfort.
Why would you use these formulas?
-
Relax stiff, sore muscles: We’re about to reveal how easy it is to relax your stiff, sore muscles, improving your movement in as little as 5 minutes.
-
Reduce swelling: Swelling causes secondary damage (on a cellular level), so it's important to keep swelling as low as possible.
-
Relieve pain: Joint, muscle, and tissue-related pain (even those with headaches) can be long-lasting, and you can get fast relief.
-
Restore tissue damage and repair bruising: The faster you apply these items to the damaged areas, the faster your body can repair itself.
-
Increase energy levels & sleep better: Lots of pain leaves you tired, but relief boosts your energy levels, and this means you’ll feel better and even sleep deeper.
Each formula has 6 products available:
- Spritzers (breathable mist)
- BAR
- UDC (foaming) Cleansers
- Level 3 Moisturizers (leaves no residue)
- evel 4 Moisturizers (spray bottle/dry skin)
- Level 5 Moisturizers (cream for dry skin)
How to get relief:
The sooner you start using Riverflow and Minty Relief, the faster you’ll start feeling better.
Hurting everywhere?
For general pains throughout your body, full-body stiffness, or soreness - just wash or moisturize from head to toe.
Hurting in only one or more areas?
Rub a moisturizer on the area of concern and wait 5-10 minutes. Repeat every 5-10 minutes until you are more comfortable.
What if you fall down?
Use any one of these items, as fast as you can, to prevent some of the secondary damage that happens from swelling.
Sinus Congestion or Headache?
Shake and spray a spritzer into your palm and then cup your hand over your mouth to inhale deeply. You can also spray directly onto your scalp, face, or skin. Many headaches are simply caused by dehydration or fluctuations in caffeine levels, so paying closer attention to these levels can reduce headaches.
Already on pain medication?
Unless your doctor or pharmacist has told you to avoid any specific plants or natural products, it's fine to use our products alongside medications. However, if you want to avoid a particular plant, let us know, and we'll send you a list of our products that do not contain it.
Concerns or Persistent Unexplained Pain
Always speak with your doctor if you are concerned or if your pain doesn't go away, as it can be a sign of more serious issues.
