Who should avoid this balm, and why is a patch test important? — SOFJA BALM WITH BEE VENOM 75ML (KorolevFarm)

This balm is not suitable for anyone with an allergy to bee stings, bee venom, or bee products. If you have ever had an allergic reaction after a bee sting, do not use it. People with very sensitive or reactive skin should also be cautious, since the warming effect may be more than they find comfortable. Before the first full use, do a patch test: apply a small amount to a small area of skin, for example the inner forearm, and wait to see if any redness, itching, swelling, or unusual discomfort appears. If anything does appear, do not use the balm. Use it only on intact skin, never on cuts, open wounds, rashes, or damaged areas. Keep the product away from your eyes and mucous membranes. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a chronic skin condition, or are taking medication, consult a specialist before use. The product is intended for adults, not children. It is also a cosmetic, not a medicine, so it is not a replacement for professional advice. Stop using the balm immediately if strong irritation or any sign of an allergic reaction occurs, and wash the skin with mild soap and water. When in doubt, a patch test is the most reliable way to learn how your own skin responds.
