I didn't know that! I've seen it labeled homeopathic in many products. That gives me renewed hope!

True homeopathic dilutions are unlikely to contain even a single molecule of the substance. So I figure if there's so much that they can list it as an active ingredient - it ain't homeopathic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathic_dilutions

Yeah, it's the lack of a single molecule that makes me doubt the theory!
Arnica salves work pretty well for me - I do prefer the thick, ointment type of application. I mean - they're not some miracle cure regrowing torn cartilage or ligaments, but they do make sore joints and muscles feel better for me.
One of my favorites is "Sports Remedy Arnica Salve", which is EVOO, Arnica leaves and flowers, Passionflowr, Yucca Root, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E oil, Rosemary, and essential oils of Cedarwood, Clover, Ginger, Lavender, Marjoram, Pine, Rosemary, Sage and Thyme. It smells really good (to me anyway) and the texture of it requires some decent rubbing in to the sore joint, which is think is always beneficial as well. I do think there is benefit to using arnica, and even if not, self massage of a sore joint seems to help with inflammation. And it smells nice...

I need to rub it in about a half dozen places... I think the issue with arnica was whether or not it's a homeopathic remedy. Seems like everyone finds it useful. I thought it was homeopathic, and the theory around homeopathy never made sense to me.
