To find out more about each carefully selected ingredient you can click the list on the right. What about the remaining 2% ? There is a big difference between "contains natural ingredients" and products that are as natural as possible. Do not be duped! They are proud that at least 98% of their entire product formulations are natural. They are often asked which of ingredients are synthetic so to save you trawling through their full list of ingredients, they are listed here: Ascorbic Acid Benzyl Alcohol Dehydroacetic Acid Menthyl Lactate Potassium Sorbate Vanillyl Butyl Ether How rubefacients work for sports recovery The cooling and warming effects of Natural Hero products are down to their blend of active botanicals known as rubefacients. What are Rubefacients? Both hot and cold sensates can feel pleasant on the skin and are beneficial to sports recovery. This is due to their action as rubefacients or counter-irritants. Rubefacients are powerful stimulants; some have a ‘warming’ effect, and others a ‘cooling’ effect. How do Rubefacients work? Rubefacient herbs are a class of botanicals which have a unique effect when applied to the skin. The mechanism for their warming and cooling action goes beyond simply ‘taking the mind off the pain”. It is now thought that counter-irritation acts to suppress any discomfort at spinal cord level in accordance with ‘gate-control theory’; the same mechanism by which TENS is thought to act. Rubefacients stimulate the dilation of capillaries, increasing circulation around the treated area, helping speed the recovery process. What’s in them? Each Natural Hero product is blended with between 4 and 6 rubefacient plant extracts in an over 98% natural base formulation. Are they medicinal ? No. Given Natural Hero’s cosmetic level formulation it is very unlikely that the products would react with a user’s medication if the products are used as intended. As opposed to pharmaceutical grade products containing ibuprofen, sprain relief actives or numbing agents, Natural Hero do not contain any of these ingredients as that would make them fall under the Medical Devices Regulations rather than the Cosmetic (Safety) Regulations.
