TRANQAL • Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What is TRANQAL?

TRANQAL is a specialized, science-backed relief spray engineered specifically to counteract the complex mechanism of jellyfish stings. Unlike temporary cooling gels or basic first-aid sprays, TRANQAL works to neutralize active venom cells, cool the skin immediately, and soothe the deep inflammation caused by the sting.

How to Use TRANQAL

Step 1: Identify the Sting

• Take Immediate Action: Pain, burning, and irritation can start right away when stung by a jellyfish.

Step 2: Rinse and Clear the Area

• Rinse with Seawater Only: Thoroughly rinse the affected area using only seawater. Do not use freshwater, as it can worsen the sting.

• Remove Tentacles Safely: Carefully scrape away any visible tentacles using a plastic card or a stick. Do not use bare hands to handle or remove the tentacles.

Step 3: Spray TRANQAL

• Apply Generously: Spray TRANQAL directly and generously onto the affected skin.

• Coat Fully: Repeat the application as needed until the entire area is completely and evenly coated.

Step 4: Let It Work & Recover

• Leave It On: Allow the formula to remain on your skin for at least 20 minutes (it can safely be left on for up to 4 hours) to properly neutralize the venom and relieve pain.

• Cleanse Softly: Once the time has passed, gently wash the area with warm water.

💡 For Optimal Recovery: Apply a 0.5% to 1% hydrocortisone cream or any burns ointment twice a day to the affected skin to promote healing.

Application & Usage

How soon should I apply TRANQAL after a sting?

For the best results, apply TRANQAL as soon as possible after contact. The sooner you spray the area, the faster you can stop the continuous venom-release cycle and minimize skin damage.

How does TRANQAL work?

A jellyfish sting isn't a one-time event; it leaves microscopic needles embedded in your skin that continue to pump venom. TRANQAL works in three distinct phases:

• Neutralizes: It targets the embedded stinging cells to help stop the continuous release of venom.
• Cools: It rapidly cools the area to blunt the burning sensation.
• Soothes: It delivers targeted ingredients to calm redness, swelling, and deep tissue irritation.

Can I use TRANQAL on children?

Yes. TRANQAL is formulated to be gentle yet effective, making it safe for the whole family. However, as with any skincare or first-aid product, we recommend doing a quick patch test on unaffected skin or consulting your pediatrician if your child has highly sensitive skin or known severe allergies.

Safety & Product Details

Does TRANQAL expire?

Yes, to ensure maximum potency of the neutralizing and soothing ingredients, each bottle has an expiration date printed on the bottom. We recommend checking your bottle at the start of every beach season to ensure you are fully protected.

Is TRANQAL a medication?

TRANQAL is an advanced first-aid care spray designed to manage and soothe the immediate symptoms of a jellyfish sting. It is not a substitute for professional medical treatment.

⚠️ When to seek immediate medical attention: If the victim shows signs of a severe allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, facial swelling, dizziness), if the sting covers a large portion of the body (e.g., more than half a limb), or if the sting involves a known highly lethal species (like the Box Jellyfish), seek emergency medical care immediately.

Can I use it for other marine stings or insect bites?

While TRANQAL was specifically engineered to counteract the unique venom-delivery system of jellyfish, its intense cooling and anti-inflammatory properties can also provide soothing relief for minor sea urchin scrapes, coral scratches, and insect bites.
