Four things. And mint.
Nothing here needs a promise attached to it. The ingredients are interesting on their own.

Arctic Mint doesn't cool anything.
Menthol binds TRPM8, the ion channel that fires when it detects low temperature. The nerve reports cold that isn't happening. The sensation is real; the temperature never moves.TRPM8 literature · Nature Communications, 2020
