Why You Should Not Bandage Over Liquid Ice

The manufacturer's instructions specifically state not to wrap after application.

Leaving the treated area uncovered allows the product to dry and avoids trapping the topical preparation against the skin. Do not substitute bandaging for the manufacturer's application instructions.

Competition Use

The supplied information describes Liquid Ice as a topical cooling gel rather than a registered medicine. However, this does not establish competition compliance.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Keep out of direct sunlight.
