Since receiving the Bio Active Skin Healing Ointment and the Bio Active Vaporizing Decongestant Rub we have had a need for both – multiple times in our house! The Bio Active Skin Healing Ointment has been a wonderful ointment for all of our summer scrapes and cuts. Trust me, there have been many of them in a house with two young children. Every time we head outdoors to play, someone always ends up getting hurt. I like how this product is cream like. It washes off hands easily … Continue reading →

Congratulations to the winner Annie1! Did you know that about 44% of adults suffer from tooth sensitivity? It’s not a disease, but a condition that usually develops over time. Most suffers are between 20 and 50 years old, but that span is growing. I’ve had sensitive teeth for the past 10 years or so.
