Skin Irritation: Menthol can irritate the skin, especially on sensitive areas or broken skin. Do a patch test on a small area of skin before applying it more liberally.
-
Not for Everyone: People with certain skin conditions or allergies to menthol should not use this product. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use.
