F.A.Q: Frequently Asked Questions


What material are the hot/cold gel packs filled with?


Gel ice packs can contain various materials in their gel composition, usually consisting of distilled water, monoethylene glycol, carbomer, sodium hydroxide, glycerine and sometimes pigments for colour. Some can also be just distilled water with one third alcohol but they are of poorer quality and less functional as they end up freezing and forming an unusable block of ice.

Are there any contraindications to the use of gel ice pads?


There are several risk factors that may make the use of this product unsuitable, these factors are:

  • Do not apply to an open or infected wound.
  • Do not apply to patients with vascular disorders, unless under medical supervision.
  • Do not apply if you suffer from circulatory or nervous disorders, unless under medical supervision.
  • Do not apply to sensitive or irritated skin.


What are the risks and hazards of using reusable gel ice packs?


Here are some of the safety precautions to keep in mind:

  • Can they burn your skin? Yes, so always use a cloth or insulating material as an intermediary between the skin and the gel pack, and do not use the product directly on the skin. This applies to both hot and cold compresses.
  • Can they be toxic? The reality is that there is no evidence that any of the materials used to make these bags are toxic, but we should avoid using one that is deteriorated, as there is a risk of breakage. Especially if it is used to apply heat, as the gel inside will leak out and touch the skin directly, which can cause a burn.


How to make your own homemade gel ice packs?


The steps to follow to make your own hot and cold gel pack at home are as follows:

  • Choose a sturdy, clear plastic bag, preferably with an airtight seal.
  • Pour 3 parts distilled water to 1 part alcohol into the bag and a little glycerine or edible gelatine.
  • Put the mixture in the freezer, it will never freeze completely and will maintain a gelatinous texture.


How to avoid dangers and contraindications?


The best way to avoid the risks and contraindications of hot/cold gel pads before use is to read the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer and, if you suffer from any special ailments, it is advisable to consult a doctor. Make sure the bag is in good condition and never stop using the insulator to protect your skin.

    Same as a child's cold pack – This is pretty much the same thing as a child's "boo-boo pack" but eye-mask shaped. It stays cold for about 10 minutes.

    Captain & Miss America –

    Refreshing eye mask – This micro bead cooling eye mask comes in tangerine and pink (like a grapefruit). It does not taste like grapefruit, so DO NOT EAT! After placing in the refrigerator for four hours it’s ready to wear. It has a soft material side that rests against your eyes. There is an adjustable Velcro headband to hold it in place. It feels very nice when applied to tired, puffy eyes.

    Cool relief – The adjustable strap hold the mask in place well enough, since my activities are naturally limited while using this. To prepare the mask for cold use, the instructions say refrigerator (not freezer). When pollen surges, my normal go-tos for relief sometimes needs the added cooling effects in the eye area, as the urge to rub grows. To sit with the relative darkness of the cool mask is soothing for the sinus as well. (I'll likely not have a lot of use for this mask for heating.)

    pleasant and comfortable to use – It is a pleasant and comfortable mask to use. The mask is made of gel beads that don't freeze but do get cold. One side of the mask is covered in fabric that gets cold and you can place on your face without burning your eyes. It helps my eyes with inflamation so I recomend you use it.

    Cool shades – It feels so good to take a break and have something cool and soothing on your eyes. This is a very easy to use eye mask that ready to use. The lavender has a very pleasant smell and is very mild. The eye mask once opened last about 25 minutes and is a single use. The eye mask is not too tight and is very comfortable. I'm not sure if really helps with puffiness, but it feels very nice when in use.

    Brain –

    good enough to get 2 – I like this mask way more than I expected. At only around 11 dollars I didn't expect much but, I was pleasantly surprised. The mask contains little beads of sort that doesn't freeze so it's quite comfortable. I've only tried it cold so far (the bag it comes with was a nice included accessory to keep it safe from food bits) and it did a good job. It doesn't stay cold for a super long time so I'd recommend getting 2 so you can have one ready after the first warms up.

    Helps reduce eye puff – This eye mask really helps reduce eye puff. Especially if you have swollen eyes after a crying spell, spending 10 minutes with us on your eyes will really help reduce the bloat. This orbees-style mask shouldn’t be thrown into the freezer, just keep it in the fridge for a chilled effect.

    Honest Nana –

    Nice cooling effect – This goes in the refrigerator and not the freezer which allows the beads inside to stay flexible making it very comfortable and not too cold to put on your face. I really like that it comes in a ziplock bag reminding you that it does NOT go in the freezer. I can see someone in my household being helpful and putting it in the freezer so the ziplock is very helpful. I have not tried it warm but I have enjoyed the cooling effect.
