The Zim’s Max Freeze Leg Cramp Relief Patches utilize a high-concentration menthol delivery system to trigger topical cold-sensitive receptors, providing immediate sensory distraction. While effective for acute muscle surface comfort, the adhesive and high volatile oil content are best suited for those without compromised skin barriers. Menthol, a terpene alcohol, creates a cooling sensation by chemically stimulating the receptors without a drop in temperature. This is supported by Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and Vitamin E to maintain and condition the skin surface, mitigating the desiccation typically caused by alcohol-based enhancers.
The patch format ensures a sustained release of the counter-irritant, preventing rapid evaporation. To ensure professional-grade maintenance of the application area, avoid applying to skin immediately after a hot shower or in conjunction with external heat, as increased peripheral vasodilation can lead to localized chemical irritation. This product offers a mess-free alternative to topical gels with a long-wear adhesive designed for up to 8 hours of use.
