My wife used a "body butter" lotion which contained Triethanolamine and it caused a severe chemical burn/eczema like reaction on her face & hands. This chemical is found in products from many hand lotion makers & its dangers more prevalently marked.

Very easy to apply, but not very effective. I used it for muscle pain, and all it did was make my skin sticky. I used the brand Rub A535. I also used it for my arthritis and again it did nothing but make the area sticky. Would not recommend to anyone.

I use this cream when I have joint pain or muscle pain and find it works quickly and it is very effective in relieving the pain, which at times is very intense.

A rub containing 20% of this is very helpful for pain. However I can no longer get it in the US

I had used a competitors version for 5 days for a lower back strain and the was given this product by someone to try. The results where tenfold better. And full relief was within 6 hrs.
