Active Ingredients
• Menthol: An alcohol extracted from cornmint
oil. When applied to the skin, menthol produces
an intense and lasting cooling sensation that
counteracts pain and is also used as an antipruritic.
It both stimulates the nerves for perception
of cold and depresses those which transmit pain.
• Camphor: Occurs in nature in the camphor tree,
an Asian evergreen related to cinnamon. When
applied to the skin, camphor produces a mild
local anesthetic action (depresses some nerve
endings and stimulates others). It also acts as an
antipruritic, which means it relieves itching.
