(More customer reviews)Putting the "Ilex" into Biofreeze:
How is the Ilex in Biofreeze extracted from the holly shrub?While of course the process is proprietary to the makers of Biofreeze, Ilex is brewed from the holly leaf and then evaporated to form a powder which through a proprietary process is included in just the right amount into Biofreeze.I would not recommend your trying this yourself as the holly plant is generally considered to be toxic except to certain birds.Do not eat or allow your children to eat the (red) holly berries or leaves of the holly shrub; it's toxic in this form.
Biofreeze's shelf life is two years, and you can find the expiration date located on the package.Thus order only what you think you will use within a two year period.
Biofreeze with Ibel comes in these forms:Gel, Gel with Hands-Free Applicator (I haven't tried this form yet, but plan to do so soon), Wipes, Spray, Tubes and Pump Bottles, Roll On, and Packets.My favorite way of application is using the Biofreeze spray.One of the most helpful uses of the spray is applying it to two of my finger knuckles that suffer from arthritis; after which the pain begins to subside and movement is easier -- this takes repeated daily applications to make the most progress.The spray allows one to apply it to hard-to-reach areas, such as the middle back and lower extremities; and you don't get it over your hands when applying it.For me and my wife the spray seems to get the right amount on and it seems to be best absorbed, but I have no scientific proof of this.
Even though with the spray you don't get it on your hands and fingers please be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after application and avoid touching any where close to your eyes.
You will find Biofreeze spray in a much larger bottle here on Amazon, but this size is more convenient and portable.It is not a wonder potion, but it does help me the most of any product like it; I hope it works for you too.
