Formulation view This liquid uses a denatured alcohol and water system with menthol for cooling. It combines cinnamon aldehyde and botanicals like ivy and seaweed for soothing. The triple preservative system includes phenoxyethanol, sorbate, and benzoate. Ideal for post-exercise or oily areas. Formulators must consider alcohol's barrier impact and preservative efficacy across pH ranges.
