Question 1

Q: Is Arnica safe for open wounds?

Accepted Answer

A: We advise against using arnica on open wounds ( is a better option here), but a small amount is likely not going to hurt. If you accidentally use it on a bump that has a small cut, don’t worry! Avoid on larger wounds.

Question 2

Q: How does this compare to homeopathic arnica?  Is this homeopathic?

Accepted Answer

A: This is herbal arnica. We take whole flowers and infuse them in olive oil. Homeopathic arnica comes on little pellets and is very dilute. There are times you may want to use both, depending on what is going on.

Question 3

Q: Is this different or better than arnica creams, gels, or ointments from the store?

Accepted Answer

A: We think so! Check the ingredients on other options — most have benzyl alcohol, potassium sorbate, or other things you don’t want on your skin. Ours is pure organic olive oil, organic arnica flowers, and candelilla wax — that’s it!

Question 4

Q: My product arrived melted. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

A: This can happen when the product is exposed to hot weather. The quality of this product is not affected. Because we don’t use artificial fillers or stabilizers, our products can soften or melt in warm weather. But it’s an easy fix! Natural products may melt, but they still work just as wonderfully. First, if you believe the product may be melted -- do not open it right away. Place it in the freezer for about 30 - 45 minutes, then, after solidifying, use a fork to stir it well. If you ever have any issues or concerns, please reach out to our customer service team at so we can help!

Question 5

Q: What are these little white balls in it?  How do I get rid of them?

Accepted Answer

A: These are stearic acid, a naturally-occurring fatty acid in shea and mango butters. When the lotion melts in transit or in a bathroom and cools slowly, the stearic acid separates from the other oils and hardens as these little balls. Your lotion is still fine! If you don't like the texture, you can remelt it, stir, and put it in the freezer to cool quickly.

Question 6

Q: Plants don't seem 'strong enough' to replace the remedies I'm used to.  Does this really work?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes! Plants and what is provided in nature are a lot more effective than you may know! There are lots of studies about what they can do in our bodies. In the Ingredients tab, you can click on each ingredient to learn more about it and read some of the studies. Give this a try and see for yourself how well it works -- and don't forget to read the reviews!

Question 7

Q: When do products expire? What are the shelf life of your items?

Accepted Answer

A: In order to be FDA compliant, we are no longer able to put a Best By or Expiration Date on our products. We do, however, have our Lot Number on all products, which can be found as a 7-digit number either printed on the label or a sticker placed on the container. This will tell the day the product was finished. An example would be the lot number #2124005. 🟩 The first two numbers will indicate the year it was made. So for the above lot, the first two numbers are 21 and so it was made in the year 2021. 🟩 The next three numbers will indicate the day of the year it was made using the Julian Calendar. So the "240" day of the year would end up being the 12th of August. 🟩 The last two numbers will show the batch number made that day. So "05" would be the 5th batch made that day. 🟩 This would mean that the product was finished on August 12, 2021 and was the 5th product made that day. Shelf Life For Products: Because our products are 100% natural with no artificial preservatives, they do expire. The expiration dates are very loose estimates and products usually last much longer. You can extend the shelf life by keeping your products in the refrigerator, although it is not required. Products are safe to use past the expiration date, as long as they do not smell rancid (oil-based) or have visible mold (this is very rare unless contamination has occurred -- usually from mouth contact on the dropper).
