# A pain relief cream built to challenge the category leaders

https://takefridayoff.com/work/pain-relief-cream · First launch · shipping soon

At a glance: Cream · TGA-listed medicine · A traditional botanical · Challenger to the category leaders

**The brand.** A founder-led Australian pain relief brand built on a traditional botanical, with international distribution interest ahead of launch.

**The challenge.** A TGA-listed pain relief cream that pairs a traditional botanical with proven ingredients, matches the category's leading creams on formula and price, feels non-greasy, doesn't stain, and comes in a pack older users can open easily.

**What we built.** The formula and R&D samples, the claims evidence, the TGA listing (updated after a preservative change), the stability program, the product specification and the label.

**Manufacturing and delivery.** We're managing manufacturing now, including the tube supply, through to delivery.

**The result.**
- Due in late 2026.
