Subject: Bad girl
Message: Since I have been so pleased with the NGF and what it has done for my cuticles, not to mention my healthy looking pink nails, I have probably been doing a "no, no". I can't seem to find a nice hand lotion that does not have mineral oil in it, so I have been putting a dab of the NGF in the palm of my hand and then adding a little of my hand lotion to it and using it that way. I just like what it does for my hands also. Barb, when you and your husband were figuring the cost of the hand cream if you decided to market it, what kind of price did you come up with and in what size. You know we gals would buy the darn stuff if it worked as well as the NGF. We just love to be 'beautified".

Message: June, just between you and me, I used some NGF on my heels. Man, they were so dry. Now they are soft, supple and growing like a weed! ;)
Actually, I have used it on both my heels and my elbows. But sshhhh, it's our secret! ;)

Message: We were having a problem finding a pump bottle smaller than 6oz. And we figured a 6oz bottle would have to run about $30.00 plus the $5.00 shipping and handling. That just seems a bit much. Even though it lasts one person about 6 months. It is also not a lotion that is used like most of them are used. By that I mean, you have to really rub it in. Not just swipe it on. It has NO alcohol or mineral oil, so it doesn't just evaporate off of the skin, you HAVE TO actually rub it in like you do the NGF. In fact it is the same ingredients as the Natural Nails Growth Formula, just different quantities of the ingredients to pursue other objectives. Because of the heavy lanolin content. We just figured it would not be something most would be interested in doing, since the time constraints that dictate life, don't usually allow for that sort of attention to one application.
If you just apply it and sort of rub at it, you wind up feeling like a grease monkey! People would just go nuts with having to work at applying the lotion.
But if you do use it properly it is unbelievable. Especially after shaving your legs. Man it is like silk. That is in fact what I wanted to call it, "*SKIN SILK*", silly huh?
So Moi it will not hurt anything for you to be applying the formula elsewhere. It will help those little nicks and dings in your skin to regenerate cells and sort of mend faster.

Message: Tube filling take specialized equipment and to fill and seal the ends of the tubes. They are filled through the open bottoms and then sealed with heat and crimped. They tend to burst at the seams sometimes.....I can't afford equipment like that, sorry.
Tub of cream, well that would created one fine mess! I just don't see another inexpensive way to package it with the equipment we already have other than the bottle.
I told my hubby you guys were on me like white on rice and he said, and I quote, "I will see what I can come up with." So after the first of the year we may be able to give it a trial run. But you gotta be ready for serious rubbing it in! And just like the growth formula, a little, little, little, goes a longgggggggg way! It could get really messy.
