The Science
Behind


Superior Beta MD™ Complete Relief is a novel composition developed to deeply moisturize and nourish the skin while aiding in the relief of pain, inflammation, aging, scarring as well as reduce susceptibility to contact from pathogens and insects. The natural pain relieving, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory ingredients are carefully formulated to soothe and refresh.

Beta-caryophyllene (BCP) is a key ingredient found in our formulation at concentrations much higher than those found in many commercially available creams. Our Beta-Caryophyllene is steam distilled from clove buds and is Generally Regarded As Safe by the FDA (GRAS). Our products are formulated with ingredients used for centuries. Superior Beta MD™ has developed a unique formula to retain the biological activity of each ingredient while simultaneously maintaining stability and product safety. Many of the known activities of Beta-Caryophyllene are attributed to its activity at the Cannabinoid type 2 receptor and include:
-
Analgesic properties [1-6]
-
Calming effects [6, 7]
-
Anti-inflammatory [8-11]
-
Antibacterial and antifungal [9, 12, 13]
Organic and fair trade shea and mango butters are derived from shea nuts and mango pits
that have been used for thousands of years for their powerful moisturizing properties.
In Superior Beta MD™ Complete Relief, these plants derived butters sooth, moisturize and protect the skin.



Lecithin is rich source of phospholipids and carry our active ingredients through the skin. Because it contains phosphatidylcholines, lecithin is a source of choline, an essential nutrient that has demonstrated activity against acne.[14]
Essential oils of tea tree and lemon grass have been recognized for centuries by aboriginal
peoples for their healing properties, and strong antimicrobial actions. In Superior Beta MD™ Complete Relief they provide soothing relief and a fresh scent.[14-16]

"I am undergoing some burn treatment for pre-basal cell keratoses. I only made it to day nine of the 21 day treatment - the pain was too severe to continue. I've been sleeping with bags of frozen peas and I've tried lidocaine, Vaseline, cetaphyl lotion, aloe vera etc. This a.m. I tried your cream and it immediately calmed the burn. I would think the clove extract would hurt but I finally have some relief!🙏🙏🙏"
