The brand, which celebrated its tenth anniversary in February, hits a sweet spot with this expansion geared toward active men and women.  The six item range combines proprietary PureScience® technology with highly effective Eastern and Western herbs in holistic, performance-enhancing products that deliver immediate results.

Just like muscles, skin takes a beating when the body is taxed. It needs quality care before and after exercise for best results Jack Black's Performance Remedy™ collection uses botanically based ingredients to naturally nourish skin and soothe overworked muscles. Key ingredients include: Arnica, Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Green Tea, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Menthol, Rosemary and Willowherb.

The collection includes a friction-free body powder, a scrub & muscle soak, an antimicrobial wound gel, a sunscreen, a hair &body cleanser and a pain-relieving cream. Dragon Ice™, the pain-relieving cream, and hero product in the line, contains Dragon's Blood, a skin fortifying ingredient from the Amazon.  

"It's a key time for us," says Emily Dalton, who co-founded Jack Black along with Curran and Jeff Dandurand.  "The line was inspired by customer feedback and the groundswell of activity with our target audience."  The PureScience® technology found in each product locks in nature's best, using healing botanicals, vitamins and certified organic ingredients with no parabens, sulfates, fragrance or colorants.  All products are cruelty-free, vegan and dermatologist-tested.
