GENERAL
Can Cana Care products be used by pregnant women?
All Cana Care products can generally be used by pregnant women. Some products contain perfume, and should be used with care.
Which Cana Care products are suitable for children?
The best products from Cana Care for children are Repair and Rest.
Rest is especially good for active children, children with motor restlessness, and children with a sensation of growing pains. Can be used daily.
Repair, we usually say, is good for most things! Scratches, mosquito bites, atopic skin, dry skin areas, red noses, and other minor skin irritations. For both children and adults, mind you.
I have a lot of muscle tension. What products do you recommend?
People with a lot of muscle tension, for example in the back or neck, will often benefit from and enjoy using Relax and Heat. Relax can have a calming effect, while the moisturizing Heat has a warming effect, and together they can provide a feeling of relaxation and relief. Relax can be used on a daily basis. Heat is used as needed.
Are there any Cana Care products that are good for menopause?
The short answer is: YES! There are many different symptoms of menopause, and common for most is that they are not pleasant. Therefore, women going through menopause deserve plenty of self-care. And that is exactly what Cana Care can provide. Additionally, many women going through menopause find great joy in using our magnesium-rich products REST and RELAX daily. If a woman going through menopause wants to keep her skin moisturized and supple, we recommend applying EMBRACE to the body after a shower.
What can Relax / Rest do?
RELAX and REST are nurturing serums for use on the body. They contain magnesium, which contributes to hundreds of different processes in the body and is an important player in maintaining normal muscles, normal bones, and normal teeth. Therefore, magnesium is known to reduce restlessness and contribute to good muscle recovery, for example, after exercise. In addition, magnesium is also known to contribute to less fatigue and exhaustion.
RELAX is particularly good for relieving tension or supporting the body's natural recovery after sports.
REST is especially good to use before bedtime to help the body relax better.
My nose is red and chapped when I have a cold, what can help?
Can Cana Care help with my heel spur?
Heel spurs are most often caused by overloading and therefore require relief and possibly professional treatment. In addition, many may benefit from using the magnesium-rich RELAX to massage the feet before applying a generous amount of TREAT; and if it feels good, the warming effect of Heat may have a positive impact for some.
I suffer from breast sores - what do I do?
Does magnesium help with growing pains?
It is not entirely clear why growing pains occur, and it can therefore be difficult to provide concrete answers on what to do to alleviate it. However, our experience from our many thousands of customers is that many find great benefit in using REST on children experiencing growing pains.
HEAT
Can Heat be used by breastfeeding mothers?
HEAT can be used by breastfeeding mothers, but it is important to emphasize that the product - or the skin where the product is applied - should not come into direct contact with the baby.
Can Heat be used on children?
What do I do if Heat feels too hot?
HEAT DOES NOT GET WARM - WHAT DO I DO?
How long does HEAT last?
The duration of the warming effect from HEAT varies from person to person, but for most people, it can be reactivated for up to 24 hours, either by applying external heat (e.g. with a hot bath) or preferably by generating internal heat through physical activity.
Can HEAT be used on the face?
We understand the desire to do it, but Heat contains chili, so it is important that you are very careful to avoid contact with the eyes.
Can HEAT be used together with REST/RELAX?
Yes, they complement each other very well. Use RELAX (or REST) first and then HEAT.
In what order is it best to use heat and relax?
RELAX
On which parts of the body should Relax be applied?
We recommend applying RELAX to the areas of the body where you feel tense. For most people, this is typically on the neck, lower back, a sore knee, or aching shoulder.
Can Relax be used for children?
Yes, it may, but for children we always recommend starting with REST. Active children or children prone to growth pains or similar, can greatly benefit from daily use of REST.
Relax stings/itches when used, is this normal?
Due to the high salt content, it is completely normal for Relax to sting/itch when the product is used on the skin. Just like you might have heard about skin having a reaction when swimming in the Dead Sea, which is incredibly salty. If stinging/itching occurs, we recommend applying the product to wet skin to reduce the concentration of the product slightly. Another recommendation is to apply a mild lotion or great oil onto the skin afterwards. If the stinging or itching persists, we recommend using Rest instead.
Should I use RELAX before or after training?
When you exercise, your muscles automatically use their magnesium stores, which is why it makes a lot of sense to add magnesium locally through the skin after training. If you engage in endurance sports, you can advantageously use RELAX along the way, but otherwise, you will benefit most from using it immediately after your workout.
A good tip: Feel free to use it right after you have taken a shower and massage it well into the skin; your body will love you for it!
CAN I USE RELAX TOGETHER WITH HEAT?
YES! HEAT and RELAX are a wonderful duo if you are struggling with soreness or tension.
Start by using a few sprays of RELAX, which you massage well into the skin. Then roll on HEAT. After a few minutes, the warmth will spread - and if you don't think it's warm enough, just roll on a little more.
Can relax be used on the face?
RELAX can be used on the face, but be careful not to get the product in your eyes or mucous membranes, and consider applying a good day cream afterwards if you feel that the high salt content is irritating the delicate facial skin.
Why is my RELAX not clear/transparent?
RELAX has an extremely high content of magnesium, which is a salt mineral - and the salt can react to cold and turn white. RELAX will become transparent again as soon as it reaches room temperature.
When in my beauty routine should I use RELAX?
You can use it at any time depending on when it feels most comfortable, so you can use it in the morning after a shower, but also in the evening before bedtime.
Can I use RELAX every day?
Actually, you will get the best effect if you use it every day. It is important, especially if you use it frequently, to make sure to add additional moisture and fat to the skin, for example with a good body oil.
Can you use RELAX when pregnant?
Yes! But if you are thinking of using it at bedtime, we recommend considering using REST instead. It is a bit milder and for most people, it will provide a better sense of calm when used at bedtime.
REST
I often have restless legs in the evening/night - will REST help?
Of course, we can't promise you miracles, but many people experience that gentle massage with REST before bedtime - or during the night if you wake up feeling restless - can help and relieve within just a few minutes.
On which parts of the body should Rest be applied?
REST can generally be used all over the body as long as the skin is intact. However, for most people it will make most sense to use it on the legs before bedtime. A suggested application method is to spray the product into your hands and massage it well into your legs and feet.
Is REST for children or adults?
REST is for both children and adults who have trouble finding calmness before bedtime. Whether the restlessness is due to growing pains, soreness, or general unease, massaging with REST will make a significant difference for most.
CAN I USE REST AGAINST GROWTH PAINS?
It is not entirely clear why growing pains occur, but in a large user survey in 2023, we found that 93% of those who use REST in connection with growing pains experience that it relieves, provides calmness, and better evenings and nights, for both adults and children.
My child is restless in the evening can I use REST?
YES! REST is excellent for creating calmness, for both big and small. For the very small ones, we recommend that you put one or two sprays in your hands and gently massage it onto the child's legs, preferably immediately after a bath.
NOTE: Because REST is very salty, it is important to avoid applying it to wounds or minor cuts, as it may sting.
Can you use REST while pregnant?
YES! It is excellent for pregnant women. Feel free to use it after a shower, or before bedtime, and make sure to massage the product well (if you can), to get the optimal effect out of it.
Can I use REST every day?
Yes, absolutely. For most people, REST will actually be most effective if used on a daily basis.
GROW
Can I use GROW while pregnant?
Like all other Cana Care products, you can generally use Grow while pregnant. However, we always recommend that pregnant women use cosmetic products with care. Even though our active ingredients are 100% natural and contain no perfume or parabens. In other words, it's up to you to decide.
Will GROW make my hair greasy?
No, Grow is non-greasy, so you can use it both morning and evening - even if you don't necessarily wash your hair every day 🙂
I experience that GROW separates/clumps - is that normal?
Can men use GROW?
YES! GROW helps reduce hair loss in both men and women, so if you are a man (or if you know a man) who has started experiencing hair loss, now is definitely a good time to start using GROW. In addition to helping reduce hair loss, GROW also supports natural, healthy hair growth. For more information, see HERE.
Can GROW be used together with my styling products?
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that, but it is best to use GROW before using your other styling products.
Should grow be washed out of the hair?
No, you do not need to wash your hair after using Grow - on the contrary. It does not make the scalp greasy, but instead contributes to a beautiful balance, so feel free to leave it on all day.
Can I use GROW in both dry and wet hair?
Yes, you can. The most important thing when using GROW is to make sure to massage the product well into the scalp.
How long does it take before I can see results?
REPAIR
Can Repair be used by children?
Repair is brilliant for children! It is great for everything from red bottoms, cold cheeks, dry fingers, dry lips, red noses, scraped knees, minor rashes, and other minor skin irritations.
Can Repair be used on eczema or atopic skin?
Repair is good to use for all skin types, on people of all ages. Our experience is that our customers with atopic skin really benefit from Repair.
I get red bumps after shaving - can repair help me?
Yes, it can. REPAIR contains many good and natural ingredients with healing and anti-inflammatory properties, so feel free to apply it generously to the area after shaving - and get rid of those annoying red bumps.
Can Repair be used in connection with breastfeeding?
REPAIR is perfect for use during breastfeeding due to its many beneficial properties. Simply apply it to the chest immediately after each feeding - and there is no need to wash it off before the baby is placed on the chest again next time.
TREAT
Can Treat Foot Cream help with dry feet?
Treat Foot Cream is great for dry feet. Feel free to use it daily after your shower. Since it absorbs quickly, it's a breeze to use.
Can Treat be used by pregnant women?
All products from Cana Care can generally be used by pregnant women, but like with all other cosmetic products, they should be used with caution. Less is more.
Should I use foot cream after shower?
It is of course up to you whether you want to use foot cream after your shower, but to give your feet the best care, we recommend that you apply TREAT to them after showering.
How often should I use foot cream?
To give your feet the most optimal care, we recommend using TREAT after showering - preferably every day.
EMBRACE
Can Embrace be used for psoriasis?
There's no issue with using Embrace if you have psoriasis. It contains many beneficial oils rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which should benefit most skin types. Additionally, due to its content of hydrasalinol, it can contribute to maintaining the skin's moisture balance by promoting the production and transport of urea to the skin, which is crucial, especially for individuals with problematic skin.
