Very well said inkybits, and I wholeheartedly agree!! I’ve got skin ‘issues’ too so I’ve gotta be careful, that’s why I check EVERYTHING out before I buy it.

On day 3 my hemp stick came in the mail & that stuff felt good the second I put it on. Lasts forever too. There’s enough in the stick to get ya through 50…[Read more]
