Icy Hot Pain Relief Balm 99.2g is a fast-acting topical analgesic that helps temporarily relieve minor muscle and joint pain from backaches, strains, sprains, bruises and arthritis. Powered by menthol and methyl salicylate, this non-greasy balm uses contrast therapy, a cooling sensation that dulls the pain followed by a warming sensation that relaxes it away, making it a trusted choice for everyday pain relief in the UAE.

How It Works

Icy Hot works through contrast therapy. The menthol creates an initial cooling, icy sensation that helps distract from and dull the pain, while methyl salicylate produces a warming effect that helps relax aching muscles and joints. Together these two topical analgesics act as counterirritants on the skin's nerve endings, redirecting the sensation of pain so you can move more comfortably. The fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula starts working within minutes and is easy to apply before or after activity, making it convenient to keep in a gym bag, desk drawer or first-aid kit.

Important Information

For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes, and do not apply to wounds or damaged, broken or irritated skin. Do not bandage tightly or apply external heat such as a heating pad, and do not use at the same time as other topical pain relievers. A mild, temporary burning sensation may occur on application; if a severe burning sensation, redness or irritation develops, stop use immediately. Allergy alert: if you are prone to an allergic reaction from aspirin or salicylates, consult a doctor before use. Stop use and ask a doctor if your condition worsens or symptoms persist for more than 7 days. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away. Always read the label and consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you are pregnant, nursing or unsure whether this product is right for you.
