Blackbelt Punch FAQ
Product effectiveness
Is shower treatment really effective?
The effectiveness was proven by a test conducted by a laboratory completely independent of the product's design. The panel tested was selected anonymously by this laboratory; we have no knowledge of the people who were recruited for this test.
The test panel was instructed to perform an intensive training session to seek out maximum muscle soreness in order to test the effectiveness of the shower gel. At the end of the test period, the responses collected from the tested panel exceeded all our expectations. 90% said they could walk normally within 72 hours of a leg workout and 86% said the product reduced their muscle soreness, 62% could do one more session per week and 57% said this shower gel helps increase their performance.

Why does it work?
Two years of design, testing, research and development for proven effectiveness.
The effectiveness is due to the product's carefully selected active ingredients and a laboratory design that follows a very specific manufacturing process that must be scrupulously followed during product development to offer you simple, practical and effective use.
Why is Blackbelt Punch shower gel better than others?
We've developed a shower gel with a unique and effective composition. We've created the first and only shower gel in the world that can be labeled "anti-ache shower gel" or "relieves muscle fatigue" because our product has been tested and approved by an independent laboratory according to the processes in place for this certification. Moreover, to our knowledge, other shower gels have never undergone an effectiveness test on this subject. It's a completely unique product with no equal.
Product Use
Can it be used daily?
Of course, our shower gel can be used daily as a replacement for your usual shower gel. Research has shown that our shower gel is a well-being and relaxing product; using it daily will provide you with the benefits of the active ingredients more regularly than if you only used it occasionally.
Can you wash your hair with shower gel?
Yes, our shower gel can also be used as shampoo. We formulated the product so that using shower gel as shampoo leaves your hair soft.
How to use Blackbelt Punch?
It's a shower gel!
1. Turn on your shower and get wet.
2. Turn off the water to soap yourself, let the product act on the muscles used for about 1 minute, and use every day, even if you do not do sports.
3. Rinse yourself and be clean.
Do not stay underwater or rinse the product off instantly.
How many showers do you need with a Blackbelt Punch shower gel bottle?
For 200ml, according to our internal tests:
• For a woman of 1m70 and 63 kg: 35 showers
• For a man of 1m80 and 75kg: 32 showers
How much Blackbelt Punch shower gel should I use?
This amount varies slightly depending on your size; the answer is generally a small amount in the palm of your hand, as with a classic shower gel. The important thing is to apply it for a minute before rinsing, as indicated on the bottle.
Does the shower gel lather well?
95% of our test panel declared during the study carried out by an independent laboratory that the product meets what they expect from a classic shower gel.
Generally, shower gels that foam too much contain a lot of foaming chemicals that aren't ideal for your health. In reality, manufacturers only add foam to please consumers, but the fact that it foams is in no way a guarantee of effectiveness or cleanliness.
Using a washcloth or shower puff will help with foaming if needed.
Generally, the cheaper the product, the more it foams and the more chemical it is.
No organic or quality shower gel can compete with the chemical foaming agents in cheap shower gels.
For its quality as a natural shower gel, this product offers good foaming.
Should I massage?
It is not necessary to massage, however, massaging promotes the absorption and penetration of the ingredients. The important thing is the short minute of application before rinsing as indicated on the bottle.
Hot water or cold water?
There's no need to change your shower water temperature habits. The official effectiveness test for our shower gel doesn't address the effects of water temperature and its impact on product effectiveness. Hot water tends to open pores and could theoretically help the skin absorb active ingredients. Conversely, cold water has natural recovery benefits; some customer feedback indicates this preference to increase product effectiveness, but this is a personal feeling. You can do your own test, but it's not necessary to force yourself to change water temperature to be effective.
Health, privacy and contraindications
Is the shower gel suitable for sensitive skin?
The pH of our shower gel varies slightly between 5.09 and 5.21 throughout the product's lifespan. Normal skin has a slightly acidic pH around 5.5. The optimal pH is between 4.7 and 5.75. A shower gel with a pH close to 5.5 is considered balanced and is generally recommended for all skin types.
Our shower gel has successfully passed all dermatological tests for safe marketing. We have not conducted any additional specific testing for sensitive, atopic, or diseased skin, knowing that this requires additional budget and does not necessarily apply to our target audience. Nevertheless, we have received a lot of very positive feedback from customers with very sensitive skin, who say they have not experienced any dermatological reactions despite their skin sensitivity.
However, if you tend to react easily because your skin is sensitive or unhealthy, we advise you to seek advice from your doctor or dermatologist, and test it on a small area of your skin before using it entirely on your entire body.
Can shower gel come into contact with private parts?
Yes, you can use our shower gel all over your body like you would a regular shower gel.
Please note: for women, there are specific products for taking care of intimate areas that you probably already use. Our shower gel is not designed for intimate hygiene care for women. So don't worry if soapy water runs over it when rinsing your body, but do not use it inside the labia, on the vulva, etc., and like any soap, under no circumstances for internal use. Continue to use your intimate care products for this part of your body.
Is shower gel suitable for children?
Our shower gel has successfully passed all dermatological tests on adults for safe marketing. However, we have not conducted additional specific testing for children, knowing that this requires additional budget and that children are not our target audience. This is why we are required to note on the legal notices of our shower gel: "keep out of reach of children."
Can I use this product with medical treatment?
There are many treatments and very often they have individualized dosages, which is why we cannot give a general answer, it is advisable to ask your doctor for the most accurate answer.
Can pregnant & breastfeeding women use this product?
The essential oils in our product are not compatible with this period of your life.
Are the essential oils in the shower gel allergenic?
We only use natural ingredients, including essential oils. Their concentration is regulated and precisely measured to ensure their effectiveness. They have passed all dermatological tests to validate their safe marketing. Essential oils are included in the list of 26 potentially allergenic substances: they are neither dangerous nor prohibited. Their inclusion on the packaging allows people who know they are allergic to choose their product with full knowledge of the facts. Essential oils should not be used by pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as by children (stipulated on our product and our website).
However, be careful if you are already a heavy consumer of essential oils in high doses in other forms and with great regularity because too many essential oils can also be dangerous for your health.
Is this a doping product?
NO! In terms of composition, we are dealing with essential oils, minerals, vitamins, caffeine, and plant extracts... so there are no known doping products in this composition.

Animal testing has been banned in the EU since 2004 for finished products such as cosmetics and since 2009 for the ingredients that make them up.
Since March 11, 2013, the ban on the marketing of cosmetic products tested on animals has come into force and applies to all cosmetic manufacturers in Europe.
Advertising the absence of animal testing is likely to be misleading, as no one can claim compliance with regulations. This is why we do not mention it on our packaging.
