Watkins Menthol Camphor Ointment - Active Ingredients• Menthol: An alcohol extracted from cornmint oil. When applied to the skin, menthol produces an intense and lasting cooling sensation that counteracts pain and is also used as an antipruritic. It both stimulates the nerves for perception of cold and depresses those which transmit pain. • Camphor: Occurs in nature in the camphor tree, an Asian evergreen related to cinnamon. When applied to the skin, camphor produces a mild local anesthetic action (depresses some nerve endings and stimulates others). It also acts as an antipruritic, which means it relieves itching.
