This cream contains bee venom (apitoxin) and scorpion venom, so it is not a completely neutral body lotion. Anyone with a known allergy to bee products should avoid it. If you are unsure whether you are allergic, or if you simply have very sensitive skin, do a patch test before the first full use. Apply a small amount to a limited area such as the inside of the forearm and wait several hours, or even overnight, to see how your skin responds. Mild warmth and a slight tingling are normal. Strong redness, swelling, itching, or blisters are not.
The product is also not recommended for children, and not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you have a chronic condition or are taking medication, ask a doctor or pharmacist before using it. This is a precaution because venom-derived ingredients can cause unpredictable individual reactions, even when they are used in diluted, standardised cosmetic forms.
Where you apply the cream matters too. It is made for the body — lower back, shoulders, joints, and tired leg muscles. Do not put it on the face, eye area, mucous membranes, or broken, irritated, or sunburned skin. Freshly shaved skin can also be more reactive, so it is better to wait until any shaving irritation has settled or to choose a different area for your first test.
If you notice strong redness, burning, or swelling during use, rinse the area with plenty of water and stop using the cream. If the reaction continues or gets worse, contact a doctor or pharmacist. This is a cosmetic product, not a medicine, and it is not intended to address any medical condition.
