The product a topical analgesic cream for relief of skin irritation caused by waxing or shaving contains 2% lidocaine. The 1-oz tube is a multilayer lamination that includes foil and polyethylene supplied by Cebal. Rexam provides the polypropylene child-resistant cap.

Rexam’s Tube-Lok® “push and turn” cap system is a one-piece “bayonet-style” closure that passes CPSC requirements for child resistance and senior-friendly use.

To use the cap consumers simply push down on the closure and turn.
