IC Wrap works through a precise evaporative cooling process that activates the moment it’s unrolled. The fabric is infused with a hydro-alcoholic solution of water, ethanol, and menthol, which begins to evaporate upon contact with air and skin. As these molecules change from liquid to vapor, they absorb heat energy from the skin — an endothermic reaction that rapidly lowers surface temperature and reduces inflammation. This cooling, combined with gentle compression, helps constrict blood vessels, minimize swelling, and calm pain receptors, delivering the same relief as ice — but without the need for refrigeration.
