carbonic acid (CO₂) applied to skin produces an anti-inflammatory response

CO₂ has an anti-inflammatory effect when applied to the skin.

What this means for you

Chronic low-grade inflammation is linked to joint discomfort, slower recovery, and accelerated aging. When CO₂ contact with skin triggers an anti-inflammatory response, it may help the body dial down that background inflammatory load — supporting easier movement, less post-activity soreness, and a general sense of physical ease.
