Penetrex Balm and Goodlife Pharmacy
Penetrex Balm is ordered on penetrex.co.ke: KES 5,990 for the 50 g tube, a confirmation call from an operator and payment on delivery. This site has no arrangement with Goodlife Pharmacy.
Goodlife Pharmacy is one of the best-known pharmacy names in Kenya, with branches in malls and neighbourhood centres, so it is natural that it is the first place many people think of when they look for a balm for knees, shoulders or the back.
Goodlife Pharmacy branches sit in malls and neighbourhood centres, so a quick look at the shelf is easy. For Penetrex Balm the order page replaces that trip: it takes a name and a Kenyan mobile number, the operator calls to confirm delivery to your area, and you pay when the 50 g tube arrives.
A pharmacy visit is great for browsing, and many shoppers like to pick up a tube, turn it over and read the label. You can do the same with Penetrex Balm before you order: the ingredient list, the method of use and the precautions are all written out in full on this site, so you know what you are ordering before you give your phone number.
Goodlife shoppers are often the kind of people who read labels, and that is a good habit with any topical balm. Look for the ingredient list, check whether you are sensitive to anything on it, and look for the method of use and the safety notes. Everything on that checklist is published on this site: ingredients, method of use and safety notes.
What to check at a pharmacy counter
- Read the ingredient list first. Penetrex Balm lists eucalyptus leaf, safflower flower extract, water, lavender oil, Ligusticum chuanxiong oil, methyl salicylate, menthol, palm glycerides and cetearyl glucoside.
- Ask yourself whether you are sensitive to aspirin, salicylates, menthol or strong plant scents. If so, speak to a pharmacist before using any balm with methyl salicylate.
- Check the pack size. Penetrex Balm comes in a 50 g tube, which fits easily in a handbag, a gym bag or a drawer at work.
- Look for a clear method of use. For Penetrex Balm it is five short steps: clean and dry the skin, take the amount you need, apply directly, press lightly, use once or twice a day.
- Keep a list of what you already use. If you take regular medicines, or you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a pharmacist or doctor before starting a new balm.

Order Penetrex Balm in three steps
Leave your details
Your name and Kenyan mobile number on the order page.
Take the call
An operator confirms the order and the delivery to your area, between 11:00 and 23:00 Nairobi time.
Receive and pay
The parcel arrives and you pay on delivery.
A trip to the shop, or a call to your phone?
Malls make shopping a trip: parking, a queue, a walk past shelves you did not plan to visit. When all you want is one balm for the evening, the order page saves that trip. You fill in two fields at lunch, take the call when it comes, and the tube arrives where you are.
Many Goodlife regulars like to see a product in their hands before they commit. The photographs on this site of the tube and the carton, held in a hand and lying on a table, are there for exactly that reason.
