Biofreeze pain relief

Biofreeze is a leading brand in the topical pain relief market, known for its unique cooling menthol formula that provides fast-acting relief for sore muscles and joints. Originally developed in 1991 by a scientist seeking to help his grandmother manage arthritis pain, the brand quickly became a favorite among healthcare professionals such as chiropractors and physical therapists before expanding into the retail consumer market.

Throughout its history, Biofreeze has undergone several changes in ownership. It was notably a part of the Performance Health portfolio for many years. In 2021, the brand was acquired by Reckitt Benckiser, a global leader in consumer health, hygiene, and nutrition. This acquisition integrated Biofreeze into a family of well-known brands like Mucinex and Durex, significantly expanding its global distribution footprint.

Manufacturing for Biofreeze products is primarily centered in the United States, keeping in line with its domestic heritage, though international distribution is supported by Reckitt's extensive global logistics network. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, the brand continues to operate under the health division of Reckitt, maintaining its position as a top-tier solution for topical cryotherapy.
