Perrin's Blend is a high concentration of antioxidants in a base of raw honey, and honey thickens naturally.  We could add more honey which would help with the thickness but that would weaken the formula, so we have chosen not to do this.  The ointment seems to work better when it is so thick it actually has to be pressed onto the area being treated.  Once it makes contact on the skin your body temperature will start to slightly melt the honey, making it softer.  A thicker product runs less, which helps it to stay in place until a bandage can be placed over the area. 

If the thickness poses a real problem to you then you can thin the product with pure honey.  Some people choose to do this.  Another option is to add a few drops of pure aloe vera, the liquid form you would find at a health food store.  If you do this, we recommend you do it in a separate container and not contaminate the whole jar of Perrin's Blend.  

As mentioned above, Perrin's Blend is a sticky honey based ointment and burgundy in color due to the grape seed extract which means it will stain clothes.  Even though we have seen positive results with sporadic application, the best results come when the lesion is in constant contact the Perrin's Blend.  That also means leaving the bandage on during a bath, then not washing it off before reapplying.  Most of the time the lesion needs to be covered to prevent the Perrin's Blend from being rubbed off.  If the place is on your face (where there is less of a chance of the ointment being rubbed off) and you do not mind the appearance of the ointment, then there may not be as much of a reason to keep the area covered, and you can (if needed) keep reapplying during the day. 

Yes. The Perrin's Blend can be used around the eyes.  We do not recommend getting the Perrin's Blend directly in the eye because it is a thick, sticky, and sometimes slightly gritty ointment.  Please avoid getting Perrin's Blend directly in the eye.

Perrin's Blend is a thick, sticky, honey based ointment.  It is not a cream.  It is more of a paste.  It is not easily spread over large areas, but a person can do so if he/she is determined to do so. It is also burgundy in color due to the grape seed extract which means it can permanently stain clothes, bed linens, etc. so we recommend covering the area with a bandage if staining a fabric is a concern to you. If you want a spreadble version of Perrin's Blend consider using the Cool Cleanse. 

Yes.  All of our products can be used around the eyes.  We do not recommend getting any of our products directly in the eye, especially the Perrin Blend and the Cool Cleanse. Essential oils in some of the creams may be uncomfortable to some peoples, especially if too much is applied. Any soap is uncomfortable when in contact with the eyes.  Our soaps are no different.  Please avoid getting our soaps in your eyes.

The Creme Complete can be refridgerated, and may actually help extend the shelf life.  We also recommend using clean hands when using the Creme Complete to avoid contamination.  When using any of our aloe based products, specifically ones in jars: Creme Complete, Revive, Nutra Cream, we recommend using clean hands when handling the product.

We recommend using the Creme Complete within a year of the manufacturing date.  If the Creme Complete is bought from our website you are guaranteed a recently manufactured product.  The Creme Complete may be effective after one year but since we use no artificial preservatives we encourage using within a year.  We want to ensure that our customers have the best possible results which means using a fresh product.

Yes. The Creme Complete can be used as a moisturizing and corrective face cream.  Please be aware that if you are using the Creme Complete on an area that has sun damage, the Creme Complete may initiate a correcting of these areas.  This may involve inflammation of the damaged areas resulting in a dying off of abnormal skin tissue, which may involve redness, swelling, and itching of the specific area.  Many times this is followed by a rejuvenation and growth of new skin.  If you are concerned about inflammation then limit the application of the Creme Complete to 1-2 times a day.
