Burns and Bites Cooling Gel contains aloe vera together with echinacea, urtica urens and arnica. Aloe vera is widely used for its cooling, soothing feel on skin, which is why it is often included in gels for minor burns, sun-exposed skin and bites. Urtica urens and arnica are traditional ingredients in topical products used when skin feels irritated, itchy or tender.

The gel texture is useful because it spreads lightly and gives fast surface cooling without feeling heavy. Burns and Bites Cooling Gel is best thought of as a first-aid style skin comfort product. Weleda highlights aloe vera, urtica urens and arnica together because they are the ingredients most closely linked with the product's cooling and soothing role.
