As a chiropractor, I spend many hours each day doing hands-on therapy with patients. In my search for an effective pain relief cream to complement my treatments, I tried out more than 75 different products during my first five years in practice. Then came the epiphany: I should create the ideal pain relief cream myself! 

The cream that I envisioned would be not only highly effective but also safe, natural, non-staining, and aesthetically pleasing. It would include only plant-powered ingredients for pain relief in a 100% vegan base free of harsh chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and artificial colors or preservatives. With this vision, I embarked on a quest to create the perfect pain relief cream.

After months of researching the finest ingredients available for treating painful muscles and joints, I narrowed a list of 80 potential candidates to the nine most effective plant-powered pain relievers: arnica, boswellia, camphor, cayenne pepper, comfrey, curcumin, ginger, menthol, and an organic sulfur compound (MSM).

Next came extensive research on what would comprise the base of the cream. Given the potency of the nine pain relievers, I needed a base that would protect and nourish the skin, while offsetting the medicinal odors of certain ingredients.

Rather than just covering up odors, I wanted a cream that would provide a scintillating experience for the user with an aroma that would evolve as time passed from a bold botanical essence to a warm tropical aura. Through exhaustive experimentation with hundreds of essential oils and other botanical extracts, my proprietary evolving aroma was born and fused within a skin-nourishing vegan base consisting primarily of jojoba seed oil, aloe leaf juice, virgin coconut oil, and avocado oil. 

Pushing the limits further, I wanted this cream to do something never done before: to perform in a way that responds to the user’s lifestyle by providing an extra boost of relief when it is needed most. It took seven years of experimentation to give the cream this unique, quasi-intelligent, body-heat-activated technology feature. When massaged thoroughly into the skin at affected muscle and joint areas, the cream immediately produces a soothing sensation of relief, then continues to respond to the user's lifestyle for up to 12 hours with a surge of powerful, deep-penetrating heat during physical exertion or any increase in body temperature.

To protect the integrity and stability of the formula, I found an innovative herbal preservative with a minimum shelf life of two years. I then discovered how to transport the ingredients across the skin barrier with a patented delivery system.

All the raw materials in the cream formula are carefully sourced around the globe for quality, purity, and potency before being produced locally just outside of Santa Barbara, California, in an FDA-compliant facility. Little did I know when I first set out on my quest that it would take 20 years, six figures of private funding, a devoted team of chemists with the patience of monks, and an ocean of sweat equity to process the hundreds of prototypes that led to my breakthrough plant-powered pain relief cream.

Over time my journey became an obsession: to create not only the ideal cream for my practice but something of unique value to share with the world. My unveiling of the final and perfected formula in the fall of 2017 marked one of the happiest moments in my life.

Now, this revolutionary cream is available to help people “feel better, move better,” and ultimately “live better.” The cream bears my name not only because I was the developer but, more importantly, because of what the name represents. In Arabic, the root meaning of Khalili is “friend,” and I hope that the benefits of this cream will make it a true friend for everyone in need of pain relief.
