1. Menthol

Safrina Cooling Soothing Gel comprises Menthol for its antipruritic, analgesic, and cooling effects. An organic compound sourced from herb plants such as peppermint and eucalyptus. On topical application, Menthol produces tingling and chilling sensations. Because of Menthol, this soothing gel produces a chilling feeling by activating cold-sensitive receptors on the skin without actually lowering skin temperature.

Aside from the chilling effect, Menthol also contains antibacterial, antifungal, and penetration-boosting qualities. It makes Menthol efficient at reducing pain sensation, soothing itchiness, and healing the wound. Menthol relieves the heated, uncomfortable sensation caused by excessive sun exposure. Moreover, Menthol improves the efficacy of certain topically applied medications via dilatation of the blood vessels, a process known as vasodilation. It permits the added active ingredients to reach the afflicted region deeply.

2. Camphor

Camphor is a plant-based active ingredient extracted from the wood of the Camphor tree. Due to its high absorptivity and being profoundly active against bacterial and fungal infections, it effectively treats and soothes skin issues, such as itching, irritation, etc.

The secret behind incorporating Camphor within Safrina Cooling Soothing Gel is its dual-action pain-relieving action. At first, Camphor induces cold sensation by numbing pain nerve endings. It then helps increase localized blood flow under the skin. This way, it acts as a counterirritant irritating locally at one side to reduce pain or irritation at the intended site. As an analgesic, it helps to calm down pain linked to insect bites and stings, sunburn, minor burns, etc. All in all, Camphor is an FDA-approved ingredient for soothing skin irritation, itching, and pain.

3. Phenol

Phenols are bioactive compounds sourced from plants and are rich in antioxidants. Also, because of the disinfectant and antiseptic properties enriched within Phenol is added to Safrina Cooling Soothing Gel. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action of Phenol is an excellent performer that aids in soothing irritated skin conditions. Phenol also acts as a local analgesic and anesthetic, which makes it effective in treating pain induced by skin itchiness and irritation.
