No, refrigeration is not necessary, or even good for honey.  Store at room temperature in a cabinet to keep it in the dark as much as possible.  Keep it  dry.  Never add water.  Water can cause mold.

We put a two-year expiration date on it, because we know customers have had successful results after having it for at least this long.  Honey itself is a natural preservative.  

The ingredients are:

• Raw Honey (local honey directly from the beekeeper),
• Grape Seed Extract (extremely fine powder with no additives)
• Natural Vitamin C powder - Ascprbic Acid (pure with no additives)
• Natural Vitamin E powder - D-Alpha Tocopheral  (with a minute amount of Magnesium Stearate (a non-caking agent in the vitamin E)
• Alpha Lipoic Acid powder (pure with no additives)
• N-acetyl-Cysteine [NAC]  powder (pure with no additives)

All ingredients are nontoxic and are easily found in oral supplement form.   No chemicals or petroleum-based substances are ever added to any of Perrin Naturals® products.

How many applications in one container depend on the size on your lesion.  We have recently had a health food store owner comment that "this stuff [Perrin's Blend] lasts forever".  If you are treating something the size of a pencil eraser then you will probably get 75 - 100 applications out of one 1 oz. container.

No, it isn't.  Black Salve can be extremely invasive and painful, and can leave scars.  There is no ingredient in Perrin's Blend that is similar to blood root, the main ingredient in black salve.  In fact every ingredient in Perrin’s Blend can be bought at a health food store and taken internally. Perrin's Blend is non-invasive, relatively painless, and most of the time leaves no scars. Sometimes there can be inflammation (redness and itching) associated with using Perrin's Blend but many times this is an indication that the place is responding to the Perrin’s Blend. In the case of Lichen Sclerosis, because of the sensitivity of this condition, many times there is burning sensation if the skin is raw and open.

We cannot make claims that our products will work for everyone.  We relay the testimonies given to us by those who have had success with our products to our customers and those interested in using our products.  Results vary and so does the diligence and consistency of application of the customer,  but we have see more positive results than we ever imagined.  We rarely get a return based on the product not working. Our product return rate is less that 1%.

We do give refunds and exchanges to unsatisfied customers if the reason for the refund is reasonable.  We do not give refunds after 90 days for credit card transactions, and we cannot give refunds after 60 days for purchases made through PayPal.  We do not refund postage. We do require that you send the unused portion back to us.    

• Please understand before ordering that Perrin’s Blend is a thick, sticky, honey based, burgundy colored ointment that can stain clothes.  Please know that before opening the container it can be messy to use.    Also understand that results don’t usually occur in the first week. Sometimes we receive a testimony of a skin disorder or abnormal growth being corrected within the first 10 days of application but most of the testimonials of successful results usually involve 3-6 weeks of diligent use.  Some results have taken even longer as can be read in some of the testimonials posted on the our web site.  Sun Damage usually responds favorably to Perrin's Blend and also the Creme Complete.  Seborrheic Keratosis lesions can be stubborn and can take several weeks to remove.

First, never use a cotton-tipped applicator.  Cotton fibers will stick to the ointment.  If you prefer not to use your finger, choose a firm applicator; a wooden paddle or spoon handle is fine.  If Perrin’s Blend is sticking to the applicator you may want to slightly oil the applicator before applying.  If you are covering the area with a bandage you can apply the Perrin's Blend directly to the bandage and then apply the bandage to the skin.
