Annabis Menthol Ultra Gel: a hemp-based massage gel with a cooling-warming effect
Do you enjoy the coolness of menthol but also want a warming sensation during your massage? Annabis Menthol Ultra Gel combines these two sensations in a single product. Upon application, the gel first provides a cooling sensation, followed by a warmer sensation. This contrast is what makes the formula unique.
The product comes in a 90-ml pump bottle. Its texture spreads easily on the skin, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. You can use it to massage specific areas such as your back, shoulders, legs, or the skin around other areas that are strained by your daily activities.
The formula is based primarily on organic hemp seed oil, menthol, camphor, and several plant-based ingredients. Menthol Ultra Gel is a massage product. Its appeal lies in how it feels on the skin and in the changing sensations experienced during and after application.
If you’re already familiar with Annabis’s ActivCann CBD gels, be sure to distinguish between the different products. Menthol Ultra Gel is not marketed as a product containing CBD or CBG. Its name and description highlight the hemp seed oil and the hot-cold sensory effect.
A two-step hot-and-cold effect
The primary sensation sought with Menthol Ultra Gel is freshness. Menthol is one of the key ingredients highlighted by Annabis and gives the product its name. When you apply the gel, this cooling sensation accompanies the massage and immediately sets this product apart from a neutral body care product.
The manufacturer then describes a soothing sensation of warmth. The experience thus combines two successive sensations rather than offering only a cooling effect or only a warming effect. It is this contrast that makes Menthol Ultra Gel stand out within the Annabis massage care line.
The intensity and duration of the sensations may vary from person to person. They depend, in particular, on your skin type, the amount of gel applied, and the area of application. To try the product, start with a small amount on a limited area. This will allow you to get a feel for it before using it for a more extensive massage.
The term “hot-cold effect” as used here describes a sensation on the skin. It does not mean that the gel actually lowers and then raises the temperature of the muscles or joints. Nor should it be confused with a cold or heat therapy prescribed in a medical setting.
A formula made with organic hemp seed oil
Menthol Ultra Gel contains organic hemp seed oil. This ingredient places the product within Annabis’s line of hemp-based cosmetics. However, it should be distinguished from the cannabinoids CBD and CBG: the presence of hemp seed oil does not imply that the gel contains a specific amount of either one.
The formula also features menthol and camphor, which contribute to its sensory profile. Annabis also lists various plant-based ingredients, including peppermint oil, fir oil, lavender oil, cinnamon oil, clove oil, and extracts of comfrey and horse chestnut.
These ingredients give the product a profile quite different from that of a fragrance-free massage gel without a cooling sensation. If you enjoy treatments with a dynamic texture, this blend might catch your attention. However, if your skin is sensitive to certain essential oils or menthol, be sure to carefully check the full INCI list on the bottle.
A product description is never a substitute for its label. The highlighted ingredients help you understand the product’s purpose, while the INCI list provides a complete list of all declared ingredients. It’s particularly useful if you’re looking for a specific substance or if you have known skin sensitivities.
Why choose a hot-and-cold massage gel?
Some people prefer subtle body care products that they can barely feel when applying them. Others prefer a gel that provides a noticeable sensation on the skin. Menthol Ultra Gel caters to this second preference: its cooling-warming effect adds a sensory dimension to the massage experience.
After a hike, a workout, or an active day, you can enjoy a leg or shoulder massage. This product is perfect for such moments, with a texture that spreads easily and a feel that Annabis describes as non-greasy. It lets you spend a few minutes focusing on the areas you want to massage without using a thick oil.
You might also choose it simply because you enjoy the combination of menthol and herbal notes in a body care product. You don’t have to be an athlete to use a massage gel. Anyone who wants to take a moment for themselves after a busy day can also appreciate its convenient packaging and sensory experience.
Choosing a hot-and-cold product is a matter of personal preference. If you're looking for a very gentle, neutral sensation, this formula may not be right for you. If, on the other hand, you enjoy feeling a cooling sensation followed by warmth during your massage routine, this product meets that specific criterion.
A light texture that absorbs quickly
Beyond the sensory experience, texture is important in the everyday use of a gel. Annabis notes that Menthol Ultra Gel spreads easily and absorbs quickly, without leaving a greasy feeling or any unwanted residue on the skin.
You can dispense a small amount into your hand using the pump, then spread it over the desired area. The gel moves with your massage motions before being absorbed. Starting with a small amount helps you appreciate its texture and avoid applying more than necessary.
A non-greasy finish can be convenient if you plan to get dressed after applying it. It may also be right for you if you don’t like the lingering sensation of certain massage oils. However, the exact feel will depend on your skin, the amount you use, and how you spread the gel.
The texture of Menthol Ultra Gel sets it apart from a thick balm or oil. If you usually choose your cosmetics based on how easy they are to apply, this factor deserves just as much attention as the list of ingredients or the bottle size.
The 90-ml pump bottle: convenient for use at home and on the go
Menthol Ultra Gel comes in a 90-ml bottle with a dispenser. This packaging makes it easy to dispense a small amount of gel when massaging. You can keep the bottle with your other body care products or pack it in your luggage when you travel.
The pump allows you to adjust the amount used gradually. For a small area, a small amount may be enough to start the massage. If you want to cover a larger area, you can dispense more gel after spreading the first amount.
The 90-ml size also makes it easy to identify this specific product when making a purchase. Annabis offers several gels in its body care line. When browsing the product listings, be sure to look for the name “Menthol Ultra Gel,” the cooling-warming effect, and the 90-ml size.
If you're carrying the product, make sure the dispenser is properly protected inside your bag. As with any cosmetic product with a pump, this precaution helps prevent accidental pressure on the mechanism while you're on the go.
For which areas should Menthol Ultra Gel be used?
Annabis markets Menthol Ultra Gel as a product intended for massaging the skin on the back, muscles, tendons, and joints. You can apply it topically to intact skin, rubbing in a small amount with gentle strokes.
The shoulders can be a great area to massage after a day spent in front of a screen. You can also choose the skin on your legs after a long walk, or any other part of your body that you like to massage after physical activity. In any case, the motion should always feel comfortable.
The terms “muscles,” “tendons,” and “joints” are used here to identify the areas of the body where the gel can be applied. Menthol Ultra Gel is a cosmetic product. It cannot determine the cause of pain and is not a substitute for appropriate medical care in the event of an injury or persistent symptoms.
Avoid areas that the manufacturer excludes in the instructions for use. The gel should not be applied to the face, an open wound, or near the eyes. The cooling sensation and the presence of menthol make it particularly important to follow these instructions.
How do you apply Annabis Menthol Ultra Gel?
Use the pump to dispense a small amount of gel. Apply it to the area of the body you wish to massage, then use gentle motions to spread the product over the skin. You can add more gel gradually if the area requires it.
The manufacturer recommends applying the product as needed, following the precautions listed on the packaging. You don’t need to apply a lot to experience the sensations this formula provides. Start with a small amount, especially if this is your first time using a cosmetic product containing menthol and camphor.
After application, avoid getting the product in your eyes or on your mucous membranes. Wash your hands before touching your face or handling contact lenses. If the product comes into contact with your eyes, rinse immediately with water.
This product is for external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Annabis states that it is not suitable for children under three years of age and should not be used on the face or on an open wound. Refer to the bottle label for all instructions applicable to the product you received.
Does Menthol Ultra Gel contain CBD?
The presenceof hemp seed oil in a formula does not mean it contains CBD.Hemp seed oil and cannabidiol are two distinct substances. For Menthol Ultra Gel, Annabis highlights hemp seed oil, menthol, camphor, and the cooling-warming effect, without specifying the CBD content.
This clarification prevents confusion with other products from the brand. ActivCann CBD + CBG Gel explicitly lists its cannabinoid content. ActivCann Forte+ also includes the CBD amount in its name. Menthol Ultra Gel, on the other hand, is chosen for its sensory massage with hemp oil.
If you're specifically looking for a cosmetic product that lists a specific amount of CBD, check the product name and specifications of the item you've selected. If your priority is the alternating sensations of coolness and warmth, Menthol Ultra Gel is the product featured on this page.
A brand name or the fact that a product belongs to a hemp-based cosmetics line is never enough to determine its cannabinoid content. To compare products, read their full product names and the information on their respective packaging.
Hot-Cold Effect, Warming Gel, or Cooling Gel: How Do You Choose?
The sensations described on massage gels may seem similar, but they do not describe the same experience. A cooling product emphasizes a cooling sensation. A warming gel is chosen for a warm sensation. Annabis markets Menthol Ultra Gel as providing a cooling sensation followed by a warming sensation.
If you're specifically looking for this sequence of sensations, check for the phrase "cool-warm effect" in the product name. If you're simply looking for a non-greasy massage gel or a product that specifies the amount of CBD, other Annabis products may meet these criteria.
The perception of a cooling or warming sensation varies from person to person. The same formula may feel more or less cool or warm depending on your skin type and the amount applied. This variability is one of the reasons why it’s best to start with a small amount.
Your choice should also take the ingredients into account. Menthol Ultra Gel contains, among other things, menthol, camphor, and several aromatic plant-based ingredients. If you want to avoid any of them, check the INCI list rather than relying solely on the term “hot-cold.”
When should you incorporate this massage into your routine?
You can use Menthol Ultra Gel whenever you want to take a few minutes to massage a strained area of your body. After a walk, a workout, or a long day, applying it can become a simple part of your self-care routine.
At home, the pump bottle is easy to store alongside your other body care products. When traveling, its 90-ml size makes it easy to pack with your belongings, as long as you protect the dispenser. This way, you’ll have the same product and the same instructions for use no matter where you use it.
Take your time massaging the gel in without applying too much pressure. The product is designed to spread easily; gentle movements are all it takes to apply it to the skin. If the area you want to massage is injured or has an open wound, do not apply the gel there.
The sensation of coolness followed by warmth can be enjoyed at different times. There is no specific time when you must use this cosmetic product: choose the time that fits your routine and follow the instructions on the packaging.
The list of ingredients: a helpful read before first use
Menthol Ultra Gel combines ingredients that contribute to its sensory profile, including menthol, camphor, and several vegetable and essential oils. A list of highlighted ingredients helps explain the product, but only the complete INCI list describes the formulation as stated on the packaging.
It is important to read this if you have ever experienced a skin reaction to an essential oil, a fragrance, or a menthol-based product. It is also important if you choose your cosmetics based on specific criteria regarding their ingredients.
Organic hemp seed oil is one of the ingredients featured by Annabis. It should not be confused with CBD oil intended for ingestion. Menthol Ultra Gel is a cosmetic gel designed to be applied to the skin, and its intended use is limited to external massage.
Annabis lists this product among its items suitable for vegans. If this is important to you, please check for the corresponding label on the packaging you receive.
