Alice:    My grandson after minor surgery was sent home with instructions to use only glycerin soap to cleanse the wound.

Shaleen:    Bobby gave us a great idea with your glycerin soap for dry skin.  Leave the lather on for one minute then rinse off.  It has helped Mark tremendously for the skin behind his ears and sides of his nose.  This weather is bad for dryness.

 

SALVES

Justin:  After my ankle was rebuilt I used your salve to help it heal.  I wish I could buy a gallon of it.  After 3 years I am still using it on my ankle and it feels so good.

 A Chiropractor of 30 years and also does body work said this is the best ointment I havae ever used in my 30 years of practice. The patient loves it and it is healing.

 

Arnica Salve - $6.95

I have dry patch above my eye on which I use medication. I have tried all kinds of face cream which only irritates this spot. I just bought a $30.00 jar of face cream but it irritated this spot.  Using  your shea butter face cream is all I use with no irritation.  I love the feel of the face cream. Thank you.
