A step-by-step look at the mechanism behind ArcticBlast's topical cooling formula.
ArcticBlast works through a cooling-then-warming counter-irritant effect, applied right at the site of discomfort.
Menthol, the lead ingredient, has a long tradition of topical use. When applied to the skin, it acts as a counter-irritant, producing a cooling sensation almost immediately.
Camphor, a common ingredient in topical pain-relief products, contributes the gentle warming sensation that follows the initial cooling, creating a contrasting sensory effect at the application site.
Aloe Barbadensis, Arnica Montana, Wintergreen Oil, St. John's Wort Oil and Calendula Officinalis round out the formula, contributing moisturizing and skin-soothing properties around the applied area.
