| Menthol |
Menthol is most widely recognised for its cooling effect on the skin. When applied, it activates the skin’s cold-sensitive receptors, creating a cooling sensation that can relieve discomfort and irritation. This makes menthol especially useful for soothing skin affected by sunburn, rashes, or minor burns. The cooling sensation helps to distract from the sensation of pain or itching, providing immediate relief from discomfort. Menthol’s soothing properties - calming inflammation, reducing itching and promoting healing, make it an essential ingredient for relief from sunburn, acne and skin irritation. Propaira’s itch-prone skin cream contains 2% menthol, designed to relieve discomfort from dryness, irritation and itching.
