Why are Dermacool products selected by Welzo?

We at Welzo have selected Dermacool products because of their cooling nature (due to menthol content). They are free from sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and are thus suitable for people with sensitivities. They have various menthol strengths ranging from 0.5-5%.

These products also match the needs of people with damaged or broken skin and of different age groups. We nevertheless advise our customers to seek medical advice in complicated cases.

The role of menthol in pain and analgesia is well-known and science-supported. A 2022 study published in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience reported that menthol relieves pain by blocking calcium influx and sodium channels.

How to use Dermacool Menthol Aqueous Creams?
