Yes, indeed. And they say as much on their site. But note this from their FAQs:
"The label only lists methyl salicylate as the active ingredient, not resveratrol. Why?
We are required to follow the labeling guidelines of the FDA, which only recognizes resveratrol as a natural dietary supplement. While our research suggests it may in fact be the chief active ingredient in Ted’s™ pain cream, we can’t officially make that claim."
The published research paper, available in full on their site, is quite interesting and focuses on the resveratrol, not the salicylate.

I think if it works for you, fine, but I don't think it's worth the steep price.
These are the ingredients in BenGay which is really much cheaper.
