Akron, Ohio – Performance Health introduces new, improved Biofreeze® Pain Reliever. For over 20 years, Biofreeze Pain Reliever has been helping people reduce their pain and manage discomfort. This market leading topical analgesic provides relief for millions of individuals suffering from sore or strained muscles, shoulder and arm discomfort, neck, hip and leg pain, back pain, painful joints, ankle and foot pain, and pain associated with bruising or arthritis.
Best. Biofreeze. Ever.
“We took the #1 clinically used and recommended topical analgesic and improved it based on customer feedback. The result is a formula that is preferred by 4 out of 5 topical analgesic users. We made it better in three key ways,” stated Doug Stuckey, Senior Product Manager, Performance Health. “First, we made the new formula more natural by adding an enhanced botanical blend and removing the paraben and propylene glycol. Next, we added two new effective skin conditioners so it applies easier and penetrates quickly. And finally, we created a colorless option for patients and practitioners who prefer dye-free products.”
New, improved Biofreeze is 100% paraben-free and propylene glycol-free, and is available in Green and Colorless (dye-free) versions. Its new botanical blend includes ilex, arnica, aloe, boswellia, calendula, green tea, burdock More >
