Mentholatum - your perfect travelling companion

Whether you are off on a seaside break with the family, a fortnight’s non-stop partying and clubbing with friends, an adventurous trip on your own or a romantic escape with the one you love you always pack the healthcare essentials so that a minor problem does not ruin your precious time away.

And The Mentholatum Company has the travelling companions to help you have a happy, healthy holiday when you’re traveling, when you get there – and when you come home.

Mentholatum Migraine Ice Patches
All types of holidaymaker will be glad they slipped a foil sachet of Mentholatum Migraine Ice Patches into their hand luggage to help them keep their cool.
These drug-free cooling patches can be used alone or with your usual painkiller.
Use them:
•On the journey when the stress of travel, delays or altitude bring on a headache
•After a slight overdose of sun when your head aches
•When you’ve over-indulged and you’re suffering the morning after headache

Deep Freeze range
If you’re planning an active holiday, perhaps trying some new sports or adventures, it’s good to have a tube of Deep Freeze Cold Gel or a can of Deep Freeze spray in your backpack.
The spray delivers instant cooling pain relief, while the gel is cold as you apply it and is more convenient than an ice pack, especially when you’re on the move.
Use it:
•If you’ve taken a knock when playing sport to help ease pain and help relieve overworked muscles, joints and tendons
•If you’ve stumbled or fallen and find you have sprained or strained a joint or muscle, Deep Freeze spray could help ease the pain
Deep Freeze Cold Gel contains Racementhol

Mentholatum Deep Heat range
Whatever you like to do on holiday, it’s wise to pack a tube of Mentholatum Deep Heat Rub or a can of Deep Heat Spray for those hard to get at places.
The soothing, penetrating warmth of Deep Heat Rub, which is also available in a Maximum Strength format, helps relax stiff, sore muscles to bring relief. For sporting knocks, sprains or strains, use it as a follow-up to cold treatment.
Use it:
•If an unfamiliar bed leaves you with stiff back muscles
•When you are paying the price for taking part in unfamiliar activities – such as windsurfing, water-skiing, paragliding, bungy jumping or even just walking for hours on sightseeing trips
•To help ease rheumatic pain, sciatica, lumbago or fibrositis

WellPatch Deep Heat Patches
Anyone who may need relief from muscular aches and pains, joint stiffness, backache, strains and sprains should slip one or two of these slim sachets into their baggage. And if period pain threatens to spoil your fun, WellPatch Deep Heat Patches can help warm and soothe it away.
Odourless, non-staining and drug-free, WellPatch Deep Heat Patches are activated when you open the pack and expose them to the air. They are placed directly on your skin at the site of the discomfort, so there’s nothing between you and a soothing, warming relief that lasts for up to eight hours.
Use them:
•To relieve muscle pains and stiffness after exercise
•To ease backache from an awkward sleeping or sitting position
•To help ease the pain of minor sports injuries
•To relieve menstrual cramps

Deep Relief
Holidaymakers who suffer from pain such as backache or rheumatic pain can take Deep Relief with them. The dual-action gel contains menthol, which brings instant, cooling relief, while the powerful painkiller ibuprofen quickly penetrates to the point of the pain. Your pharmacist can also recommend it to help relieve the pain of mild arthritis.
Use it:
•If you suffer from ongoing rheumatic pain or backache
•For some sprains, strains and sports injuries
•For mild arthritic pain (when recommended by your pharmacist)

Softlips
Spending time in the sun or extremes of weather, going in and out of salty or chlorinated water, means the delicate skin of the lips is in danger of becoming dry, blistered, cracked or split. Softlips is a luxurious lip balm with a soft, non-greasy texture which glides gently on to lips to keep them soft, smooth and supple. Available in three flavours, Softlips offers SPF20.
Use it:
•On the journey, when air travel can dry the skin
•Before you step out into the sun
•Before and after swimming
•Regularly throughout the day – and in the evening on its own or with your favourite lip colour or gloss

Stop N Grow
Nailbiters like this ‘willpower in a bottle’. It is a hard habit to kick, so don’t risk falling back into those old, bad ways just because you’re on holiday. Colourless and odourless, the two super-bitter ingredients will stop you in your tracks if your hands stray to your mouth.
Use it:
•Every day, painted over nails and cuticles to give your nails a chance to grow

Cutipen
Everyone who wants their hands to look their best should slip Cutipen into their make-up case. The super-rich moisturising cream softens dry cuticles and keeps them that way, while the applicator gently eases them back.
Use it:
•Whenever you give yourself a manicure – and every day in between

Snug Denture Cushions
Anyone who wears dentures will welcome the ‘safety net’ that Snug provides. If dentures become loose or uncomfortable on holiday, Snug Denture Cushions will hold them firmly but gently in place until you can get to a dentist for a more permanent solution.
Use them:
•When dentures become loose or uncomfortable

Mentholatum – helping you have a holiday to remember, for all the right reasons!
