## How It Works: Menthol Cold Therapy for Targeted Pain Relief

### 01 Fast-Acting Cooling Menthol
The 10% menthol formula activates cold receptors in your skin on contact, creating a penetrating cooling sensation that overrides pain signals traveling to the brain. Relief begins within minutes of application.

### 02 Cream Format for Precision
Unlike gels and sprays, the cream stays exactly where you put it. Rub a thin layer directly onto sore areas for targeted relief - no dripping, no mess, no waste. The 3 oz jar fits in a gym bag, desk drawer, or bedside table.

### 03 NSAID-Free Pain Management
Biofreeze provides an alternative to oral pain medications. For people managing chronic conditions like arthritis or recovering from workouts, a topical menthol cream can complement or reduce reliance on systemic medications.

### 04 Enriched with Natural Extracts
Formulated with Ilex Paraguariensis (yerba mate) leaf extract, grapeseed oil, and Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) to support skin comfort during and after application.

> Biofreeze is the #1 clinically recommended topical pain relief brand among physical therapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the active ingredient in Biofreeze cream?**
The active ingredient is Menthol 10%. Menthol works as a topical analgesic by stimulating cold receptors in the skin, which helps block pain signals. The cream also contains Ilex Paraguariensis leaf extract, grapeseed oil, and Vitamin E as supporting ingredients.

**How often can I apply Biofreeze pain relief cream?**
Adults and children 12 years and older can apply a thin film over the affected area up to 3-4 times per day. Do not use on children under 12 without consulting a physician. Do not apply to wounds, damaged, or irritated skin.

**What is the difference between Biofreeze cream, gel, and spray?**
All three contain the same 10% menthol active ingredient. The cream is thicker, stays in place, and is best for targeted application on specific joints or muscles. The gel spreads more easily over larger areas. The spray is ideal for hard-to-reach spots like the mid-back. The cream and gel are colorless; the original gel formula is green.

**Can I use Biofreeze with a heating pad or ice pack?**
Do not use Biofreeze with external heat sources (heating pads, hot water bottles) or immediately after a hot shower, as this can increase the risk of skin irritation or burns. You can alternate between Biofreeze and ice packs, but do not apply both simultaneously to the same area.

**Is Biofreeze safe for arthritis pain?**
Yes. Biofreeze is commonly used for temporary relief of minor aches and pains associated with arthritis. It is the most recommended topical pain relief brand among physical therapists. However, it provides symptomatic relief only - it does not treat the underlying condition. Consult your doctor about a comprehensive arthritis management plan.

**Is Biofreeze cream FSA or HSA eligible?**
Yes. Biofreeze is classified as an over-the-counter pain relief product and is eligible for purchase with Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA). No prescription is required.
