Properties of active ingredients:

Jojoba vegetable oil (Simmondsia chinensis) has shown moisturizing, nourishing, softening, regulating, regenerating, rebalancing and antioxidant properties. Thanks to its many virtues and to its composition similarto skin sebum, it can be used for all skin types: dry to very dry, dehydrated, combination and sensitive, as it reinforces the hydrolipid layer of the skin and protects against free radicals [1]. It works in synergy with essential oils and improves the topical absorption of active ingredients [2].

Grapeseed vegetable oil (Vitis Vinifera) is a powerful antioxidant that nourishes and prevents skin aging [3]. This oil with a light texture has anti-inflammatory properties and is an excellent moisturizer that does not leave an oily film on the skin.

Indian Frankincense (Boswellia Serrata) has an important anti-inflammatory effect due to boswellic acids and neuroprotective activity [4]. The main compounds of this resin (boswellic acid, incensole acetate and various types of terpenes) are powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidants and protective of healthy cells. They are blocking the synthesis of pro-inflammatory products and may also mediate other inflammatory actions [5]. Boswellia extract has shown to alleviate pain and reduce functional disability better than analgesics and products.

Devil’s claw extract (Harpagophytum Procumbens) is known to relive joints, muscles and tendons pain. Devil’s claw has anti-inflammatory and analgesic benefits and brings relief in low back and osteoarthritis [6]. Acting like a pain killer, it decreases the recovery time when ligaments and tendons are broken.

Ginger extract (Zingiber Officinale) decreases chronic joint pain in osteoarthritis and arthritis with comparable effect to ibuprofen [7]. Ginger is an excellent pain reliever for any muscle pain and rheumatoid arthritis [8]. Its anti-inflammatory effect is increased by using in synergy the essential oil of wintergreen (Fix Relax contains this synergy).

Field horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is a common plant abundant in silica and frequently used in phytotherapy for its remineralizing, toning, firming, astringent and antioxidant effects [9], [10]. It stimulates collagen synthesis, improves skin’s firmness and tonus and promotes the healing process of eczemas, acne, varicose ulcers, scabs and light wounds.

Comfrey extract (Simphytum officinale) is well known as a softening, anti-pruriginous, regenerative, analgesic and anti-inflammatory [11]. It soothes and supports the natural repairing power of the skin in the event of irritation, chapped skin, burns, cracks, insect bites and redness. It used to relive the symptoms associated with bruises, sprains, rheumatic pain and as an adjuvant treatment after fractures.

Arnica extract (Arnica montana) is active in venous insufficiency, phlebitis, varicose veins and as a treatment for insect bites and inflammatory dermatoses [12].

Wintergreen oil (Gaultheria Procumbens) are used as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and topical pain reliever which almost instantly soothes contractures, cramps, osteoarthritis and arthritis [13]. His active ingredient methyl salicylate is closely related to aspirin.

Copaiba essential oil has analgesic and antiseptic properties, as well as a strong anti- inflammatory effect linked to the inhibition of COX-2 and 5-LOX, two enzymes of the arachidonic acid cascade. It reduces the inflammation associated with acne [14]. It is a resinous oil with anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antiseptic, germicidal, antifungal and antibacterial properties [15]. Copaiba oil intervenes in the healing process, thus being frequently recommended for topical treatments [16].

Lemon scented Eucalyptus oil (Eucalyptus Citriodora) it relieves pain associated with exercise, tendinitis and synovitis [17]. The active ingredients of this oil gives it remarkable anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving proprieties.

Rosemary with camphor oil (Rosmarinus Officinalis camphoriferum) is used in rheumatology and traumatology due to its anti-neuralgic, anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxant properties [18].
