Temporarily relieves minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with simple backache, arthritis, strains, bruises, and sprains. Commonly applied to shoulders, knees, neck, back, and extremities.
The combination works through multiple mechanisms: camphor and menthol act as counterirritants creating sensations that distract from pain signals, methyl salicylate provides topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects similar to salicylates, and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) may support tissue health and reduce inflammation when absorbed through the skin.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, broken or irritated skin, and wounds. Do not bandage tightly or apply heat. Wash hands thoroughly after use. Not recommended for use in children under 12 without medical advice. Those allergic to aspirin or salicylates should avoid methyl salicylate-containing products. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, nursing, or taking blood thinners.
