Why WasabiRub

ONE FORMULA.
THREE WAYS TO FEEL IT.

The three WasabiRub rubs share the same pharmacist-formulated thinking — what changes is the balance of cool and heat. Pick a rub to see how it works.

WasabiRub jar

Cool, then heat.

Balanced · Everyday
01

MENTHOL • 10%

COOLS ON CONTACT

Menthol activates TRPM8—cold-sensitive receptors in the skin—creating an immediate cooling sensation.
❄
02

CAPSAICIN • .0375%

BRINGS THE HEAT

Capsaicin activates heat-sensitive TRPV1 receptors, building a gradual, lasting warming sensation.
♨
03

METHYL SALICYLATE • 20%

TARGETS THE SORE SPOT

A topical counterirritant for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, right where you apply it.

COUNTERIRRITATION,
MADE SIMPLE.

A counterirritant creates a noticeable surface sensation—cooling, warming, or tingling—to stimulate sensory receptors and temporarily alter how deeper discomfort is perceived.

Three active ingredients.
One smart formula.

Menthol / mint leaf01

THE COOL SIGNAL

MENTHOL 10%

Menthol activates TRPM8—cold-sensitive receptors in the skin—creating an immediate cooling sensation that can temporarily shift attention away from soreness.

Capsaicin / chili pepper02

THE HEAT SIGNAL

CAPSAICIN .0375%

Capsaicin activates heat-sensitive TRPV1 receptors. The first warm or tingling feeling gives way to local desensitization with continued use, quieting the intensity of pain signaling.

Methyl salicylate / wintergreen sprig03

THE TARGETED SIGNAL

METHYL SALICYLATE 20%

Methyl salicylate is a topical counterirritant used for temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches—delivering localized action right where it is applied.

BUILT FORTHE BULLPENPROVEN BEYOND IT

FROM PROFESSIONAL
CLUBHOUSES TO YOURS.

WasabiRub was developed by Robert Nickell, the first sports pharmacist for the U.S. Olympic Team. It first found a following with professional league pitchers in the late ’90s, then spread through college, minor league, and high school locker rooms.

“It goes on cool. As your body warms up, so does the rub.”

Today, that same pharmacist-formulated blend is made for athletic trainers, sports medicine professionals, and active individuals who take recovery seriously.

Ask a healthcare professional before use if you have an underlying condition, take blood-thinning medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have questions about whether this product is right for you.

COOL. HEAT. TARGET.
