Product Details
Menthol + Camphor Cooling Gel for Sore, Tired Muscles & Overworked Areas
Natural Escapes CoolRelief+ Cooling Muscle & Joint Gel is a fast-absorbing menthol and camphor cooling gel for sore, tired muscles, tight backs, tired legs, stiff, overworked joints and any area that needs an intense burst of cooling comfort. The lightweight gel spreads easily, absorbs quickly and delivers an invigorating cooling-warming sensation without the heavy, greasy feel of traditional muscle rubs.
Intense Cooling for Sore, Tired Muscles
With 8% menthol and 3% camphor, CoolRelief+ delivers a powerful cooling sensation that refreshes sore, tired muscles and leaves overworked areas feeling soothed, revived and more comfortable. Menthol brings an immediate, icy cool, while camphor adds an invigorating warmth, creating a signature cooling-warming feel that's far more intense than a basic moisturizer or massage lotion.
Wintergreen & Peppermint for an Invigorating Feel
Wintergreen oil adds a deep, soothing aroma and warming sensation, while peppermint essential oil reinforces the refreshing cool. Together they make every application feel invigorating on sore shoulders, tired legs, overworked calves, stiff knees and other fatigued areas.
Fast-Absorbing, Non-Greasy Gel
Unlike thick balms or waxy ointments, this lightweight gel spreads easily over large areas and absorbs quickly without a sticky or greasy residue, so it's easy to use during the day, after a workout, after work or before bed.
For Workouts, Physical Work & Everyday Wear and Tear
A go-to cooling gel for runners, hikers, cyclists, gym-goers, gardeners, healthcare workers, warehouse workers, tradespeople, travelers and anyone whose routine puts repetitive stress on muscles and joints. Keep it nearby:
- After workouts: strength training, cardio, cycling, running or sports
- After hiking or walking: tired calves, feet, knees and legs
- After gardening or yard work: lower back, shoulders, knees and hands
- After long workdays: neck, shoulders, back and legs after sitting, standing or repetitive movement
- After travel: tired legs, stiff hips, neck and lower back after long flights or car rides
- Before bed: as part of an evening recovery and massage routine
Where to Use
Massage into neck and shoulders, upper and lower back, hips and glutes, knees and surrounding muscles, thighs, hamstrings and quads, calves and shins, feet and ankles, forearms, wrists and hands, elbows and upper arms. Avoid broken or irritated skin, eyes, mucous membranes and other sensitive areas.
Skin-Friendly Gel Base
Aloe vera, sunflower and olive oils and vitamin E keep skin soft and conditioned, so the application area stays comfortable, even with frequent use.
How to Use
Apply a small amount and massage into skin until absorbed. Start small, since the cooling sensation is concentrated, and reapply as desired. Wash hands after use unless applying to the hands. For external use only. Do not use with heating pads or other heat sources. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Clean, Handcrafted Cooling Gel
Vegan, cruelty-free and paraben-free, handcrafted in small batches since 1997, for intense cooling comfort without the thick, greasy feel of traditional muscle rubs.
