The short answer
If it is for your own body, buy the one registered for human skin. Muscle Mint is a CPNP registered cosmetic with directions written for people. Udder creams are honest about their job, and their job is dairy. They often cost less per millilitre and come in far bigger bottles, and neither of those facts makes them a human product.
Compare the facts
Give visitors a clear route to the answer they need.
An udder cream is a mint based product sold for dairy use, to be massaged into a cow's udder. They are typically sold in large bottles or tubs through agricultural merchants, and mint oil is the usual lead ingredient.
Products in this category are positioned by their makers for animal husbandry. Some are agricultural products rather than cosmetics notified for human skin. The maker's own website is where that is stated, so that is where to check.
Word of mouth. Marketplace reviews and agricultural retailers describe people buying these creams for their own aches, and a strong mint hit is easy to mistake for strength of effect. A cooling tingle is a sensation, nothing more, and our menthol guide explains why.
If it is a high mint oil figure you are chasing, some creams made for human use publish one too. The number on its own tells you very little. What matters is who the product is made for, what the full ingredient list says, and whether the directions are written for a person.

Who each suits
Two intended users, two right answers. Neither product is a compromise version of the other.
You keep dairy cattle and you want a product its maker actually sells for that job. Bought through agricultural merchants, used as its own label directs. It will usually cost less per millilitre, because it is made and sold at a different scale for a different animal.
You want a mint cream for your own body. It was formulated, safety assessed and registered for human skin, with directions written for people. Made in Northern Ireland, UK by Zolene, a massage therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience. Two sizes, 250ml for home and 50ml for a kit bag.
Common questions
Give visitors a clear route to the answer they need.
Read the maker's own website. Products sold for dairy udder care are presented for that use and usually publish no directions for human use. For your own skin, choose a product registered as a human cosmetic, with a full ingredient list and directions written for people.
I cannot tell you that, and nor can anyone who has not run a safety assessment on the exact product in your hand. This page makes no safety claim about any other brand. The reliable principle is simpler. Use every product as its own label directs.
No. Muscle Mint is a cosmetic body cream. It makes no treatment or pain relief claim, and by law it cannot. Licensed medicines such as Deep Heat can make those claims, because they hold a licence that was assessed for them. Muscle Mint cools, it feels fresh, and that is the honest whole of it.
