I have never purchased a product on line or a local retailer for that matter, as effective. I use it for numerous applications from scalp irritation, a burn from the electric burner, not major but it hurt so I put it on a bandage wrap and within 30 or 40 minutes took the sting away and healed great. You may not recommend that but because it’s all natural I really do not know it’s limitation’s. My elbows have always been dry, “not now !, with a tiny dap for a couple nights on each side it worked to smooth them nicely. This product is great!!! Thanks a ton, Bill
