Product Overview

Mopani Glacial Ice is a high-potency, cooling pain-relief gel developed by Mopani Pharmacy. Designed as a recovery tool for athletes and those suffering from chronic joint discomfort, this deep-penetrating gel provides a powerful "ice-cold" sensation to soothe inflammation and ease muscle tension. Its larger 500g tub is specifically intended for frequent users, sports teams, or household first-aid kits where a long-lasting supply is required.

What the Product Is Used For

  • Post-Workout Recovery: Helps reduce muscle soreness and "heavy legs" after intense physical activity.
  • Joint & Muscle Pain: Provides temporary relief for minor aches associated with backache, arthritis, and neck tension.
  • Sports Injuries: Ideal for managing the initial discomfort and swelling from minor sprains, strains, and bruises.
  • Inflammation Control: The intense cooling effect helps constrict blood flow to recently injured areas, mimicking the effects of an ice pack.

Key Benefits

  • Intense Cooling Sensation: Delivers an immediate and sustained drop in skin temperature to "numb" pain signals.
  • Non-Greasy Formula: Absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky residue or staining clothing.
  • Bulk Value: The 500g tub offers superior cost-per-gram value compared to smaller tubes or sachets.
  • Professional Strength: Formulated as a "Real Makoya" remedy within the Mopani health range for reliable performance.

Active Ingredients

While proprietary formulations vary, glacial ice gels typically rely on a high concentration of:

  • Menthol: The primary cooling agent that triggers cold-sensitive receptors in the skin to provide an analgesic (pain-relieving) effect.
  • Camphor: Works alongside menthol to improve local circulation and provide a mild numbing sensation.
  • Alcohol Base: Evaporates quickly upon application to enhance the cooling "flash" effect.

Quantity / Size

Pack size: 500 g tub (large economy size).

Directions for Use

  • Application: Scoop a generous amount of gel and apply to the affected muscle or joint.
  • Massage: Rub gently into the skin until the gel is fully absorbed. You will begin to feel the cooling sensation within seconds.
  • Frequency: Can be applied 3 to 4 times daily as needed.
  • Post-Application: Wash hands thoroughly after use to avoid accidental contact with eyes or sensitive areas.

Warnings / Safety Information

  • External Use Only: Do not ingest. If swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
  • Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not apply to the face, eyes, mucous membranes, or genitals. The high menthol content will cause severe stinging.
  • Broken Skin: Never apply to open wounds, cuts, or severely irritated skin.
  • No Heat Therapy: Do not use in conjunction with heating pads, as this can cause skin blistering or chemical burns.
  • Bandaging: Do not wrap the treated area tightly with bandages.
  • Children: Keep out of reach of children. Consult a doctor before use on children under 12 years of age.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Keep the tub tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the gel from drying out or the volatile oils from evaporating.
