Product Description

What is Arnica Gel?
Arnica Gel is a pain-relieving gel derived from the Arnica flower, also known as Wolfsbane, Mountain Arnica, Leopards Bane, and Mountain Tobacco. Grown in Europe, the Northern United States, Canada, and East Asia, the flower is cousin to the sunflower and the daisy. Arnica Gel is actually taken from the heads of the flower, but only after careful extraction.
When it comes to the Arnica flower, there’s one thing to remember, it can be toxic in certain forms. Scientists take great care to formulate the right mixture to create a safe solution for pain without causing harm. Arnica Gel contains an anti-inflammatory and analgesic called helenalin, this helps relieve pain while reducing swelling, which usually comes with pain.
Arnica Gel has natural chemicals called sesquiterpene lactones that block the p65 protein to ease pain. The product is used to trigger a natural response when applying these chemical substances within the body. The gel has a similar effect as when using NSAIDs, or headache relievers.
While the product is basically safe for use on the skin, you should never apply the gel to broken skin, as this is like ingesting the product. The level of Arnica extract found in the gel is at a higher volume than the Arnica extract that’s found in the ingestible sort, which is strictly regulated. When pregnant, you should seek the advice of your physician before use, especially when breast feeding.

Ingredients Found in Arnicare Arnica Gel
Arnicare Arnica Gel has one highly active ingredient. However, there are other ingredients which support and help provide a way to transport the powerful extracts of the Arnica plant.
Arnica Montana
A flowering plant found in the daisy family of Asteraceae. The flower head extracts are used as a high quality herbal medicine. The most active chemicals present in the Arnica flower are thymol, fatty acids, essential oils, pseudo guaianolide sesquiterpene lactones, and flavanone glycosides. This flower is found more often in higher altitudes and is plentiful in Europe, excluding the British Isles, Italy, and the Balkan Peninsula. It is extinct in Lithuania and Hungary.
Sodium Hydroxide
With a caustic base and high level of alkali, Sodium hydroxide decomposes proteins. It is an inorganic white ionic compound consisting of hydroxide anions and sodium cations. Sodium Hydroxide is soluble in water and absorbs carbon dioxide and moisture from the air.
Phenoxyethanol
This chemical is often used as stabilizer or preservative to keep other ingredients from spoiling or deteriorating. Also known as glycol ether, phenoxyethanol is a rose scented, slightly sticky substances included in many cosmetics and gels.
Carbomer
Used as a thickening agent, Carbomer is a white powder that distributes and suspends solids into liquids. It prevents the liquid and oil parts from separating. Carbomers can swell up to 1000 times greater than the original volume when encountering water. A mucilage-like mixture is created that is used in gels. Basically, carbomers are considered polymers made from acrylic acid.
Caprylyl glycol
Found in many skincare products, caprylyl glycol attracts water to the skin. It also holds water in the skin as well. This substance has preservative type properties that help increase the shelf life for various products. Caprylyl glycol comes from caprylic acid found in palm and coconut oils. This substance also improves the way gels and creams feel on the skin. It helps improve spreading of the products too.
