How the Ingredients Work
Arnica
Contains sesquiterpene lactones, which may assist in healing of bruises by: decreasing swelling, speeding blood reabsorption and decreasing pain. Arnica is recommended for external use only. Stop using arnica if a skin rash develops.
Witch Hazel
Contains tannins that give it astringent properties. It eases bruising by tightening stretched veins and restoring blood vessel tone. Witch hazel is recommended for external use.
Menthol
Often derived from peppermint oil and has local anaesthetic and counterirritant qualities. It can provide soothing cooling relief to bruised areas.
