Our FDA Listed Analgesic Ingredients

MASAECEUTICALS products use maximum strength naturally derived FDA listed active ingredients – menthol and camphor, which are proven to be powerful topical analgesics. 

 

Menthol

Menthol is a highly concentrated extract derived from peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) and other mint plants. When applied topically, it provides a cooling sensation that distracts the pain signaling pathways. It also induces vasodilation, which promotes cutaneous blood flow.

 

Camphor

Camphor is an extract derived from the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora). When applied topically, it activates heat-sensitive and cold-sensitive channel receptors, which interrupt pain signals to the brain. Like menthol, it also increases blood circulation in the muscles.

 

 

Our Botanical Extracts

MASAECEUTICALS products are infused with high-quality botanical extracts to enhance the soothing sensation and aroma. They offer an olfactory delight with sweet floral-citrus notes that pair well with the wintry aroma of our active ingredients.

 

Arnica Extract
(Arnica montana)

Arnica is an aromatic flower from the daisy family Asteraceae, commonly found growing wild in Montana. It has been used in traditional medicine for over 1500 years. It is a popular remedy to soothe sore muscles and decrease bruise discoloration.

 

Green Tea Extract
(Camellia sinensis)

Green tea extract is derived from a shrub native to China. It has been shown to possess a high concentration of antioxidants such as catechins and polyphenols, which may help protect against cell damage caused by oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.

 

Ginger Extract
(Zingiber officinale)

Our Natural Oils

MASAECEUTICALS uses only natural carrier oils that have been scientifically proven to penetrate deeper into the skin and absorb faster than synthetic oils. This not only provides emollient benefits but also enhances the penetration of active ingredients for optimal relief.

Beeswax
(Cera alba)

Beeswax is derived from honeybees (Apis mellifera). It is a longstanding ingredient in natural formulas due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and emollient properties, and its ability to act as a natural preservative and stabilizer.
