soothing gel

Cooling skin treatment

A soothing gel is a semi-solid topical preparation designed to calm irritated skin or provide cooling relief.

Aloe vera is the classic example, applied to sunburns and minor burns.

Soothing gels may contain ingredients meant to reduce inflammation, itching, or redness: Apply a thin layer of soothing gel to the affected area.
