Calendula ointment
"My husband has a dermatitis condition called 'Nummular Dermatitis' which we were treating with a very harsh pharmaceutical ointment that caused his skin to become thin - it would bruise, bleed and split easily.
We used your Calendula Ointment alone for one week and the results were so obvious! The discolouration, bleeding, bruising and splitting went away. He is rapt with the results. The itching is subdued, the skin colour and texture are healthy looking. What a marvellous product - we buy the ointment in BIG pots now as it is the first thing we reach for for all our family's skin problem," J & L Homan.
"Your Calendula Ointment is marvellous. I would recommend it to anyone who has any kind of rash!!!," Diane Berkley.
"The Calendula Ointment is one of the only things my 3 year old gets relief from with her eczema," Danielle from Tauranga.
"I've been using your Calendula Ointment and my scars (as a result of shingles) have almost disappeared overnight! People are asking me what I'm using as they can't believe that my big deep scabby scars are almost gone after two weeks - they say that normally shingles takes some weeks to clear up.
I've also been using it on my very old dog who has some skin allergies and nothing I've tried was helping her. I have put a couple of applications of your ointment onto Zoe's allergies and it's really helping it. Zoe hates me putting stuff on her itchy spots normally and did the first time I put the Calendula Ointment on, but last night when I reapplied another layer, she just lay there and let me put it on, like she knew it was helping!" Carla Gini.
"Your Calendula Ointment is a miraculous potion which our family uses from cracks on hands and feet to skinned noses and knees with instant relief and healing," says Dr Caroline from Hamilton.
"I had fungal toe nails and finger nails for years which looked a mess. After trying several prescribed treatments my doctor said I would never get rid of the problem. As a last resort I decided to try your Calendula Ointment and applied it regularly for a few weeks and to my surprise my nails have now returned to normal. Your Calendula Ointment is brilliant," says Dorothy from the UK.
"I have always suffered from dry and sensitive skin and found it difficult to find a product that doesn't irritate and make my condition worse - I tried your Calendula Ointment for two days with great results, and three weeks down the track would recommend this product to everyone (and have). My skin feels a lot better and I have even used it on my two year old who gets eczema-like symptoms, and the dry patches are slowly disappearing - congratulations Pauline and her team!!" says Megan from Hamilton.
"I have been using your Calendula Ointment on a large burn on my hand. I can't believe the difference - after a week the burn is just about gone and I don't think there will even be a scar - really amazing! Just wanted you to know so you can recommend it for burns. I really appreciate it," says Cathy from Te Awamutu.
"I have a fairly painful cracked thumb at present and already the ointments (Calendula Ointment and Farmers' & Gardeners' Hand and Heel Balm) seem to be working. Again, many thanks for your exceedingly prompt service - I am most impressed!!!" says Ian from Pirongia.
"Your Calendula Ointment is the best ointment we've used for everything - especially burns and scars. My daughter has some kind of rash/dermatitis on the palms of her hands and it is spreading - we tried your Calendula Ointment on that and it looks like it is beginning to have an affect. So we're very pleased to have come across your excellent products," says Jant from Wanganui.
"My husband loves the F & G Hand & Heel Balm and the Calendula Ointment. He is amazed at how quickly they heal the abrasions caused by his eczema. We are very impressed. Many thanks," says Steph from Christchurch.
"I have bought five pots of your Calendula Ointment - 2 for me and 3 for my children. I burn my skin very easily when baking/cooking but if I apply your ointment straight away I don't feel my skin burning at all, it soothes it immediately and within a few days it has gone," says Dinah from Wales.
"My niece used to get very bad nappy rash - but no more with the super Calendula Ointment! Also when my Dad had flu he came out in cold sores all around his mouth. He applied your ointment and within four days they had virtually gone, and everytime he applied the ointment he felt it soothe them. Also Mathew's father-in-law's psoriasis has really come on well since he's been using your ointment!" says Delyth from Wales.
"I must tell you how successful your Calendula Ointment has been on my daughters' wart. She had a wart on her knee and applied your ointment once a day. After a couple of weeks it disappeared," says Brigitte from Hamilton.
"After using Calendula Ointment on my work-related dermatitis I was amazed with the results. Prescribed steroid cream did not compare with the wonderful results I got from your Calendula Ointment. I was truly amazed with the even better results when using the Calendula Soap in combination with the ointment. Truly God sent," Kaz (Hairdresser from Te Awamutu).
"Requiring some more of the Calendula Ointment as this is the best product I have used for Psoriasis," says Darryl from Te Awamutu.
Farmers' & Gardeners' Hand & Heel Balm
"Your Hand & Heel Balm is fantastic on my face! I have had so many comment, "Wow! what are you using?" The lines on my face have been ironed out since using the balm. Can you please make one for me with Lavender Essential Oil in it instead of Tea Tree?" People at work think I've had Botox!," Barbara from Otorohanga.

Shaving soap
'"Please could I order another Carrot Oil Shaving Soap. I am really impressed with your soap and it seems to last forever, well almost," Doug from Motueka.
'"When my husband shaved he had an area on his face which would always get irritated. He tried using various products but nothing seemed to help. He started using PMS Skincare Carrot Oil Soap and within days he commented on how there was no more irritation. He has been using it for about three years now and will never use anything else. Also it's so economical, a cake goes such a long way, lasts him for about nine months," Pip Powell, Te Awamutu.
'"This is the best shaving soap ever - it has cleared up my skin. It is still going strong after 12 months - never ending - great product. Thank you so much," Brian Ferguson.
Mild Shampoo
