Topical treatment of musculoskeletal pain including joint pain, muscle aches, back pain, rheumatic conditions, and mild arthritis. Particularly useful for conditions involving poor local circulation or inflammation.

Amyl salicylate acts as an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving agent when absorbed through the skin. Hexylnicotinate is a nicotinic acid derivative that causes vasodilation of superficial blood vessels, improving local circulation and enhancing delivery of the active ingredients to the affected area.
