How Does Biofreeze Work?

Pain happens when your receptors send a signal from your spine to your brain. Cold sensations, like menthol, stimulate receptors to block those signals to relieve pain.

The Biofreeze Formula

The fast acting, menthol based formula of Biofreeze provides you powerful pain relief when directly applied to the skin. Menthol stimulates cold receptors that create a cooling sensation on and under your skin, helping to relieve pain. Biofreeze formula has optimized the ideal menthol concentration.

Contrary to popular belief, ice doesn't reduce swelling but it does reduce pain. Biofreeze also reduces pain—and has been found to decrease pain nearly 2 times as much as ice. You're also less likely to experience stiffness, skin irritation, temporary pain and numbness, and the inactivity required during application as you would with ice.

Applying Biofreeze directly to the skin can bring targeted and effective pain relief without the risks that come with an oral pill.
