Please take a look at your inactive ingredients on that spray...

Since Biofreeze reformulated its products, your bottle may be different from this:

Quote:
Active Ingredients: Menthol USP (Natural) (10.00%) (Cooling Pain Reliever)

Inactive Ingredients: Arnica Montana (Montana Flower) Extract, Eucalyptus Globulus (Eucalyptus), Ilex Herbal Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Lime (Citrus Aurantifolia) Oil, Camphor USP (Natural), Nutmeg Oil, Orange Oil, Peppermint Oil, Pine Oil, Polysorbate 20, SD Alcohol 39C, Thyme (Thymus Vulgaris) Oil, Water, White Tea (Camellia Sinensis) Extract
Polysorbate is a surfactant, and may defat the skin.
SD alcohol is denatured alcohol, and as such is very drying to skin with frequent application. It removes the natural fats and oils that keep the skin supple. (it also kills bacteria and fungi).

I've never used the spray, but I have no problems with the gel form. But then I don't use it every day either.
