What makes this product stand out?

Iolite benzocaine combines 20% benzocaine for effective topical numbing with a patient-friendly strawberry shortcake flavor. The gel stays where placed and has a rapid 30-second onset.

Key advantages include:

  • Benzocaine provides fast, effective surface numbing

What is this product made of?
