Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I use cheap plastic gloves when I put the capsacin cream on. But when I use the IcyHot cream I don't use gloves but wash my hands good. Can you or someone tell me how much menthol is in a Icy Hot patch? I know the cream has 10% plus menthol salicytate (sp).
