The Science

Menthol is a well-established topical analgesic used for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with arthritis, simple backache, strains, bruises and sprains.

When applied to the skin, menthol creates a cooling sensation that helps relieve pain in the treated area. It has been trusted in topical analgesic products for decades.

Many conventional topical creams can evaporate, rub off onto clothing or require repeated application. SUSTANE-PEA was engineered to address these practical limitations through its Extended-Wear Film Technology.

After application, the cream dries into an ultra-thin, virtually invisible film that adheres comfortably to the skin. This film helps maintain the formulation at the application area and supports prolonged contact with the skin.

Helps keep the formulation where it is applied
Reduces rapid evaporation
Supports prolonged skin contact
Provides a lightweight, comfortable wearing experience
Reduces the mess associated with many conventional creams

Palmitoylethanolamide, commonly known as PEA, is a naturally occurring fatty acid amide produced within the body. Researchers have investigated PEA in connection with endogenous response systems, pain signaling, inflammation and nerve function.

Within SUSTANE-PEA, PEA is presented as part of the carefully selected supporting ingredient system. The product's OTC pain-relief claim should remain based on its approved menthol active ingredient.

The supporting formulation includes a triple-lipid complex designed to complement the advanced film technology and overall skin experience.

Biomimetic Emu Oil A skin-conditioning lipid described in the product brief as mirroring aspects of the skin's natural lipid profile.
Palmitoylethanolamide A naturally occurring endogenous lipid included as a supporting formulation component.
Turmeric-Derived Lipid A botanical-derived lipid selected as part of the formulation's soothing and conditioning system.
Integrated Delivery Design The lipids are incorporated within a formulation engineered for application, drying and extended contact.

Scientific research continues to expand our understanding of naturally occurring signaling molecules involved in skin biology, tissue homeostasis, cellular communication, pain signaling and the body's response to tissue stress.

These developments inspire continued innovation in topical formulation. SUSTANE-PEA's development philosophy combines this scientific curiosity with a commitment to quality formulation and regulatory compliance.

SUSTANE-PEA is not simply a collection of ingredients. It is designed as a complete topical delivery experience that considers how the product applies, how rapidly it dries, how comfortably it wears and how long it remains in contact with the skin.

Application Smooth, targeted topical use.
Drying Rapid transition from cream to a thin film.
Wear Lightweight and comfortable on the skin.
Contact Designed to remain at the application area for extended wear.
