Calamix-V Lotion 60ml

The Menthol, Camphor, and Zinc Oxide Lotion exhibits a synergistic effect, providing a cooling and soothing sensation when applied to the skin. Menthol activates cold-sensitive receptors, creating a cooling effect and reducing the perception of pain. It also possesses mild anesthetic properties, further contributing to pain relief. Camphor acts as a counterirritant, stimulating nerve endings and producing a warming sensation, which helps distract from the underlying discomfort. This dual action of menthol and camphor effectively modulates the sensory perception of pain. Additionally, zinc oxide in the lotion forms a protective barrier on the skin, providing astringent and mild antiseptic properties, aiding in the healing process and offering protection against further irritation.
