Biofreeze Pain Relief Gel is an over-the-counter topical cold-therapy analgesic. Each 118ml tube contains Menthol (4%) as its primary active ingredient in a fast-acting green gel base.
Applied directly to the skin, adults and children aged 2 years and older use it for fast, long-lasting relief from minor muscle aches, joint pain, backaches, arthritis, and sports injuries.
Biofreeze uses the principles of cryotherapy (cold therapy) to relieve pain without using prescription drugs or NSAIDs:
Menthol Cooling Effect: When applied, menthol creates a rapid cooling sensation on the skin's surface.
Blocks Pain Signals: This sudden cooling stimulates skin temperature receptors, blocking pain signals from traveling up your nerves to the brain (known as the Gate Control Theory of pain relief).
Reduces Swelling: The cold sensation helps ease muscle tightness and reduces swelling and blood flow to inflamed joints and aching muscles.
🚨 Warning: For external skin application only.
Do NOT apply to open wounds, cut skin, damaged skin, or severely irritated skin.
Keep away from your eyes, mouth, nostrils, and delicate private areas.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and cool water immediately after applying to avoid accidentally touching your eyes.
Do NOT Apply External Heat: Never wrap the treated skin tightly with tight bandages, and never use heating pads, hot water bottles, or heat lamps over Biofreeze. Combining cold therapy gel with heat can cause severe skin burning or blistering.
Age Limits: Safe for adults and children aged 2 years and older. Do not use on children under 2 years of age without consulting a pediatrician.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before using if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
If Pain Persists: Stop using the gel and see a doctor if your pain worsens, lasts for more than 7 days, or clears up and happens again within a few days.
Dose: Apply a thin layer over the painful or sore muscle/joint area.
Frequency: Rub gently into the skin up to 3 or 4 times daily.
Clean Skin: Ensure your skin is free of other lotions, creams, or oils before applying.
Wash Hands: Always wash your hands right after application (unless you are treating your hands).
Biofreeze Gel is well-tolerated and gentle on the skin, but minor reactions can occur:
A strong, refreshing cold or tingling sensation upon application.
Mild skin redness, dryness, or irritation at the application site in people with sensitive skin.
Does Biofreeze contain aspirin or ibuprofen?
No. Biofreeze is 100% NSAID-free, aspirin-free, and drug-free. It relies entirely on menthol cold therapy, making it safe to use alongside oral pain medications if needed.
Can I use Biofreeze before or after exercise?
Yes! Many athletes use Biofreeze before physical activity to loosen up tight joints, or immediately after exercise to cool down sore muscles and speed up recovery.
How should I store this tube safely?
Keep the tube tightly capped in a cool, dry place strictly below 25°C or 30°C, away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep completely out of reach of children.
