Mountain Ice vs Biofreeze

Both are pain relieving gels that contain menthol, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory used to provide the temporary relief of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, muscle strains, and sprains.  The cooling sensation of the menthol soothes by numbing and blocking pain signals to the brain.  Mountain Ice contains 5% menthol versus 4% in regular Biofreeze, offering more powerful strength without the strong scent.  Mountain Ice is not ice cold when you apply it and does not make you feel like your skin is burning. In addition, Mountain Ice’s texture is smooth like a lotion instead of a sticky gel that doesn’t blend into the dermis and leaves a tacky residue.

The reason that Mountain Ice has a light creamy feel to it is because in addition to the menthol and other necessary ingredients, it is packed with antioxidants and several natural plants and extracts, which create a gel that is rich and healthy for your skin.  Biofreeze contains mostly alcohol and chemicals that are harmful and drying, not moisturizing, like Mountain Ice.  The combination of elements for Mountain Ice were carefully selected for their properties and benefits that they provide.  No other product contains this unique blend of nutritious ingredients that are specifically formulated for joint pain such as turmeric, glucosamine, and MSM or soothing oils and gels that rejuvenate your skin like vitamin E, tea tree oil, aloe vera, and hyaluronic acid like Mountain Ice.

Mountain Ice penetrates deep into the layers of the dermis because of the natural ingredients that are absorbed more easily.  Joint pain, swelling, and muscle soreness is alleviated quicker, but with longer lasting results because of the components that the body produces naturally that allow the skin to heal from within.  Biofreeze is a quick fix that mostly sits on top of your affected area and needs to be applied more often for temporary relief.  Mountain Ice is superior to Biofreeze and is the better choice if you want a more natural alternative, long-term benefits, supple skin, no overpowering smell, and no freezing and burning sensations.
