Perform a patch test before using extensively.
Spread a thin layer on target areas and massage in by hand, twice a day.
If the target area is particularly moist, it will help to use a drying powder before applying – this will absorb the moisture and help the cream adhere to the skin.
Once any dry crusty patches have been dealt with, Sweet Relief cream or lotion may be more suitable for the maintenance of healthy, intact skin.
Biteback's Sweet Relief Quick-Silver Spray is the ultimate in skin care defence. It contains the same concentration of Silver ions as our Silver cream, and the same amount of benzyl benzoate and benzyl alcohol as our Sweet Relief Lotion, providing it with the multiple benefits of both products.
It's an incredibly versatile product that's useful all year round. It can be used:
as a midge barrier lotion for skin that’s already been rubbed. Silver ions are in themselves naturally antibacterial and anti-fungal. Benzyl benzoate and vegetable waxes combine to form a barrier against bites, while benzyl alcohol is known for its ability to soothe an itch
as a gentle non-irritating cleanser for sensitive skin, helping preserve the skin's natural acid mantle.Ionic Silver is antiseptic so sterilises the area, sweeping away any microbes. The lotion also leaves a protective layer on the skin after use, fortifying the natural barrier function. A superior alternative to Purple Spray.
to effortlessly disinfect the frog during wet and muddy months, guarding against bacteria and fungus
Skin will look calmer and soothed within a few days of beginning daily use
