Most pain creams pick one job: numb fast (then wear off) or warm slowly (and never quite kick in). Outback Pain Cream does both at once, with 16% natural menthol for instant cooling, 6% natural camphor for deep warming, plus the 4 botanical oils from our famous Outback Oil for longer-lasting relief.
Almost every pain cream on the shelf does one job. Some numb the surface. Some reduce inflammation. Almost none do both. That's why your relief fades fast or never seems to fully arrive.
Synthetic menthol creams flood your skin's nerve endings with cold. Relief feels fast, but as soon as the menthol wears off, the discomfort comes flooding back. You're masking, not fixing.
NSAID gels and natural anti-inflammatory creams slowly calm the joint. They work eventually, but in the moment your back is locked up, you don't have an hour to wait for relief.
Outback Pain Cream is the only topical we know of that runs both engines in a single tube. Powerful hot-and-cold counter-irritant relief in seconds from natural menthol and camphor. Plus the same 4 botanical oils from our flagship Outback Oil for longer-lasting relief that doesn't crash like other creams.
The first two work in seconds for that cooling, numbing relief. The next four work deeper, calming the inflammation and stiffness underneath. Both are doing their job before your second application of the day.
We pulled the labels of every major pain cream to see which ones actually do both jobs. The results were not surprising.

"I have used Outback products for several years and they work great. The pain in my back, shoulder and knees seems to vanish upon me using the cream. I will keep using this product with complete and total satisfaction. It does help me with severe pain."
"I have an arthritic knee and also in my hands. I put it on every morning and the pain is quite lessened. If I forget and skip a day, the pain is stronger and very uncomfortable. I have been using it for about three years now."
"I really like the roll-on but this cream is totally awesome. Penetrates into my aches and greatly reduces the pain."
"I have been using the oil for some time now and thought I would try the cream. I have neuropathy in my feet and was very surprised that the cream works better for me than the oil. Use it every night before bed."
"The best there is for nerve pain and I have tried many!"
"I love these creams. They help with my arthritis pain a lot."
His name was Ralph Linford. Engineer by trade. Born and raised in a small town deep in the Australian outback called Elmore. At 80 years old, his rheumatoid arthritis got so severe he couldn't lift a glass off his own kitchen table. For an Australian, that's a serious problem.
Ralph refused to accept that this was the rest of his life. He went into the bush looking for something natural and ended up sitting across from an Aboriginal healer named Bardo. Bardo showed him a rare strain of eucalyptus called Blue Mallee, found only in the deep outback. The local community had used it for centuries.
That was the first ingredient. Ralph spent the next several years finding three more. He tested 32 different olive oils before he found the right Spanish strain. He figured out which Australian tea tree paired with which vanilla. Then he cracked the harder part: each ingredient has to be added at the exact right point in its plant's maturation cycle, or the four oils refuse to bind. It took years of failed batches.
Ralph never set out to sell it. He used it on himself and gave it to friends and family. They all came back saying the same thing: "Ralph, it actually works." Eventually it became Elmore Oil, carried in nearly every pharmacy across Australia. Those same 4 botanical oils are now blended into every tube of Outback Pain Cream, paired with natural menthol and camphor for fast hot-and-cold relief.
Back, knees, hands, shoulders, neck, feet. Wherever it hurts, this is the one tube that does both jobs at once. Try it for an entire year. If it doesn't earn its place in your bathroom drawer, keep the tube and we'll refund every cent.
