Turmeric: Contains curcumin, a compound with potent anti-inflammatory effects, aiding in pain relief.

Frankincense Resin: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it may help reduce swelling and discomfort.

Wash hands thoroughly after application to prevent accidental contact with eyes or mucous membranes, especially due to the presence of cayenne pepper.
