Warming next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMenthol crystals + Peppermint create the initial cooling hit. Menthol activates TRPM8 cold-sensing receptors in the skin, which creates that distinctive cold sensation without actually lowering the temperature of your skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs that settles, Ginger + Black Pepper bring a contrasting warming, stimulating character.
