Moov Cream
₹ 90 / Piece
Moov Spray is a popular and effective topical pain relief product, widely used in India for quick relief from various types of musculoskeletal pain. Unlike the cream, the spray format offers a convenient, mess-free, and targeted application, especially for hard-to-reach areas like the back.
Key Ingredients and How They Work
Moov Spray typically contains a blend of active ingredients that work together to provide a soothing, warming, and pain-relieving effect. The exact formulation can vary between different Moov products, but common ingredients include:
-
Wintergreen Oil (Methyl Salicylate): This is a powerful analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-inflammatory agent. It provides a warming sensation and helps reduce swelling.
-
Eucalyptus Oil: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it helps relax muscles and reduce stiffness.
-
Turpentine Oil: Acts as a counter-irritant, creating a soothing heat sensation that can alleviate deep-seated muscle and joint pain.
-
Menthol (Mint Extract): Provides an immediate cooling sensation that helps numb the area and offers temporary pain relief.
-
Diclofenac Diethylamine: Some variants, like Moov STRONG, contain this Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) which more directly targets the source of pain and inflammation.
Uses
Moov Spray is used for the temporary relief of pain and discomfort associated with:
-
Muscle pain and stiffness: Due to overexertion, sports injuries, or daily activities.
