Who should avoid this product or take extra care with it?

This is a cosmetic warming gel, not a medicine, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. There are, however, situations where extra caution or avoidance is sensible:

• Damaged skin. Use it only on intact skin — never on cuts, scrapes, cracks, rashes, sunburn or freshly shaved areas, where the warming components would cause significant discomfort.
• Allergy-prone skin. Viper venom extract and plant extracts such as hemp can trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. The patch test is essential here, and if you have a history of reactions to warming balms or bee/snake venom cosmetics, consider whether this format suits you at all.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding. Ask a medical professional before use, and the same applies if you have chronic conditions or are unsure whether warming cosmetics are appropriate for you.
• Children. Products with a pronounced warming effect are formulated for adult body skin; keep the tube out of children's reach.
• Sensitive zones. Keep it away from the eyes, face, mucous membranes and any areas of thin, delicate skin.

If discomfort such as strong burning, itching or spreading redness appears at any point, remove the product and discontinue use.
