To start, ours is not a pain relief cream.

O₂ Derm™ Relief is an odor-free, translucent gel which rubs into your skin cleanly, leaving no greasy feel behind. The dissolved oxygen and pain relieving nitrous oxide absorb into the skin and help in relieving joint and muscle pain.

Many name brand topical pain relief products rely on a “counter-irritation” effect.  They use chemicals like menthol to provide a surface irritation that helps trick your body into lessening deeper discomfort and inflammation.

O₂ Derm™ Relief works differently.  It brings a reservoir of oxygen into close proximity with your skin and delivers the naturally occurring analgesic nitrous oxide to your cells as well.

All of our Derm Creatio₂ns products are simply different formulations of the following ingredients:  distilled water, the naturally occurring clay LAPONITE® XLG, silicone, Epsom salts (a source of magnesium), oxygen nitrous oxide, and a food-grade thickening agent used in marshmallows and toothpaste (TSPP).

LAPONITE® is a registered trademark of BYK Additives Ltd.
