What Is ArcticBlast?
ArcticBlast is a topical liquid applied directly to the skin, built around two FDA OTC-monograph external analgesic actives.
It provides temporary, symptomatic relief for healthy adults, not a cure for chronic pain or a substitute for medical evaluation.
A topical liquid, two FDA-monograph actives
ArcticBlast is a topical liquid applied directly to the skin over a painful area. Its active ingredients, Menthol (10%) and Camphor (3%), follow the FDA's External Analgesic monograph for over-the-counter pain relief — the same regulatory category as many drugstore muscle rubs. These are supported by DMSO, Emu Oil, Arnica Montana, Calendula, Aloe Vera and Wintergreen Oil.
We want to be direct about something up front: ArcticBlast provides temporary, symptomatic relief. It is not a cure, does not treat the underlying cause of chronic pain, and does not replace evaluation by a doctor for persistent or severe symptoms.
What sets this formula apart
Unlike a standard cream or gel, ArcticBlast uses a liquid base combined with DMSO, included specifically to help other ingredients penetrate skin layers more readily. See our full piece on what DMSO is, and whether it's FDA-approved for an honest look at this ingredient's regulatory status.
The liquid drop format
ArcticBlast is applied as 2-3 drops directly to the affected area, massaged in for 30-60 seconds, up to 3-4 times daily. There's no thick cream to rub in for minutes.
Who it is designed for
ArcticBlast is intended for healthy adults who want temporary relief from minor muscle and joint discomfort — exercise soreness, mild arthritis discomfort, back and neck stiffness. Read next: how ArcticBlast works.
