I just received a tube of Wound Honey and it is very gritty. It feels like there is sand in the ointment. What would cause that?

Mine was not. Maybe the honey crystalized a bit? If the grittiness looks like honey particles then I would suspect that. If it looks like a darker grit, then I would think you got a bad tube.

I literally just experienced the same thing. Unknowingly, I smeared it on a cut & it hurt...alot due to the crystals! I've never had that happen with straight Manuka. I'm returning the tube.

Unheated honey is cloudy as soon as it is extracted. This cloudiness gradually increases day-by-day as the honey thickens, and ultimately raw honey becomes hard, or crystallized.Do not worry, the honey is not ruined, it`s not old. Because honey is super saturated, one of the sugars in it losses water and takes the form of a crystal.You can put jar in warm water to dissolve the crystals, do not heat it,do not kill all the benefits !I use a big spoon to get the honey ;the raw honey and hot green tea make my body and soul happy and healthy!!!!

I've never experienced that before! :-o That sounds disgusting! I've ordered it online and bought it from Traders here in CO and fortunately did not have that experience! So sorry, AG!!

I just used 20% salicylic last night on my face and the white frost appeared around my mouth only. This morning it still burns and is darker in color, not to mention dry. I'm a little freaked out by the discoloration. Will try to update results. If anyone has had this happen would love to hear results!!!

It is an ointment which is kind of greasy like Vaseline type product. I did not bandage and not sure you are supposed to. Actually I did not find it to be helpful at all but perhaps that was just me.

I usually soaked my feet in a warm bath the next morning to let it soften then just gave it a good rub with my fingers. You may want to try petroleum or baby oil instead of something so harsh. I found that some packages have stickier tape than others which I didn't like.

I just got the stuff and my dog has a large manage sore on his upper lip near his nose. He will lick anything, including this product and bath water. The product is very runny--even with shaking well--and tough to rub into the wound. He does not seem that phased by the wound, but it is extremely challenging to keep moist; saliva exacerbates this issue and it has started to bleed. Cayenne is about the only thing that worked to keep him from digging in the grass, but I would not try that on a sore. You might end up needing to try a muzzle or something like gentle leader for a short period at least while product dries and exhausting your dogs first before putting product on at night.

I didn't have this problem. I bought it to see if it was as good as Wen. It's not as moisturizing, but not grainy.

I believe the little white label that says pasturized is wrong. If it was pasturized it would be liquid. The little label on mine says raw hon...pasturized. I think it just cut off the un like it cut off honey.

Uh oh. It should be a very nice smooth consistency. I would return it as it should not be grainy at all. I love the product and have VERY sensitive skin so try another tube!

This is an abrasive tape that will feel like sandpaper. If you do not want the feel of sandpaper I would suggest using the resilient / rubberized material.

Like sand? I haven't had that issue, however, I also don't wear it in dirt, or sandy situations. Does it actually feel like sand, or just look like sand? I occasionally get some white stuff on it from deodorant, but I rub it with a moist dark towel, and it comes right out. Not sure if you tried that, but I'd give that a shot. Other than that, I'm not really sure...

I think it is likely the agave, which much like honey crystallizes after a while. The bars are likely just fine, but not as fresh as they should be.

Hi, I didn't feel any grittiness at all. I'm not sure why you would feel something gritty, but perhaps you have a bad bottle and should return it.

Cuts, and abrasions. It's wonderful stuff, but when I ordered Savlon - I got Dettol instead. Wasn't happy about it, but didn't go through the hassle of trying to return it, either. Good luck...

It might be chemical deposits from the water or normal staining. Feel with your finger if you can. If it feels rough, it's corrosion.

Seems to be raw to me. Its in hard chunks. Its not smooth and creamy. I made exfoliant bars with it and it worked really well
