Hexyl Nicotinate is an active substance from the group of rubefacients that stimulates blood circulation. It is used for topical treatment of muscle, joint and ligament pain. Hexyl Nicotinate can be used in creams, baths and emulsions, in veterinary as well as in human medicines.
hexyl nicotinate penetrates rapidly and dilates blood vessels, thereby temporarily activating blood circulation. This increased blood flow results in an enhanced supply of oxygen, nutrients, and moisture to the skin cells, along with a faster elimination of wastes by means of the metabolic process.
