STING STOP gentle gel

DISCOVER (our philosophy):
living life, getting back in the game faster. If we can get rid of skin challenges faster, we can enjoy life more- less irritations stealing our beautiful memories.

Most GP doctor visits are due to skin challeneges according to a study done by the MAYO clinic.

Using ingredients of 100% natural origin we believe is more compatable with skin and may be absorbed faster. We believe we have all the necessary ingredients given to us in nature to heal all skin challenges.

When we use many ingredients with different properties together, they work in a formidable force towards the same goal, creating much faster recovery than expected.

When the skin senses it is clean and has the necessary ingredients to protect from infection, recovery will take place faster.

BULBINE
1. The results of this study suggests that the leaf extracts increase tensile strength by increasing fibroplasia, differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, and increased collagen deposition and maturation. This study further validates the use of the Bulbine leaf gels for the treatment of skin wounds.

ALOE VERA
2. a review of experimental studies found that aloe vera could reduce the healing time of burns by around 9 days compared with conventional medication. It also helped prevent redness, itching, and infections.

3. It seems likely that A.V. 2% oral gel is not only effective in decreasing the recurrent aphthous stomatitis patients’ pain score and wound size but also decreases the aphthous wound healing period.

4. It may improve skin and prevent wrinkles
There is some preliminary evidence to suggest that topical aloe vera gel can slow aging of the skin. In a 2009 study of 30 females over the age of 45, taking oral aloe vera gel increased collagen production and improved skin elasticity over a 90-day period. Reviews also suggest that aloe vera could help the skin retain moisture and improve skin integrity, which could benefit dry skin conditions.

5. Aloe vera gel is used in many over-the-counter skin products. This plant extract has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which has led to its use in helping to treat acne.

6. It potentially helps hair growth
The benefits of aloe vera for the hair have mainly been studied in relation to seborrheic dermatitis – a skin condition that causes a reddish rash with crusty, yellow-white scales, usually on the face and scalp.

HONEY
7. Microbial properties and wound healing
One of the most widely recognized properties of honey is its ability to help fight against skin infections.

8. Anti-inflammatory properties
Honey also has anti-inflammatory properties that can aid with skin conditions such as acne or psoriasis.

9. Honey can help with improving the skin’s appearance. The authors state that it can help stop wrinkles from forming, keep the skin looking young, and prevent infections on the skin that can accelerate aging.

10. Treatment of skin cancer: Some evidence suggests that honey can help treat skin cancer and other cancers.

CHAMOMILE
11. Chamomile can help in improving cardiovascular conditions, stimulate immune system and provide some protection against cancer.

PAPAYA
12. Recently, many studies have been reported that natural plant products have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. Thus, they are used as medicines in skin diseases. In this study the anti-photoaging effects of Carica papaya leaf on UVB-irradiated NHDFs was examined. Ultraviolet B irradiation increased ROS production while CPL decreased it. Since Carica papaya leaf had strong antioxidant activity, its effect on skin aging was promising. Recent scientific data suggests that papaya leaf may be useful in fighting cancer. Carica papaya leaf is promising for further investigation and development of a cosmetic product for treating various skin conditions including photoaging.

WHITCH HAZEL
13. Witch hazel may help heal hemorrhoids, which are dilated veins in the anus or rectum. Hemorrhoids can cause irritation, bleeding, and discomfort.
Many topical treatments for acne contain witch hazel. Its astringent properties make it a good option for people with oily skin.
Witch hazel may help soothe rashes on the skin, as it reduces inflammationTrusted Source. It is best to avoid putting it on any area where the skin is broken or oozing, however.
A review argues that while many people use witch hazel to treat varicose veins, more research is needed to determine whether it is effective.
Witch hazel may reduce the appearance of dandruff.
Similarly to sunburn, bug bites and stings can cause swelling and inflammation. Applying witch hazel to the bite may reduce itching and discomfort.
Witch hazel has anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce discomfort from
Stretch marks
Some people apply witch hazel to pregnancy stretch marks in an effort to lighten them and make them less noticeable. However, there is no research to support this use.
The astringent properties of witch hazel cause the skin to tighten and small blood vessels to constrict, which may help stop bleeding from minor cuts or nosebleeds.

ROOIBOS
14. The findings of this study demonstrated for the first time the application of linearthin and other chalcone derivatives from rooibos to protect human-derived skin cells from excessive ROS generated by UVB exposure in vitro. The isolates used in this study can improve cell viability and inhibit apoptosis induced by UVB exposure by likely exploiting pathways associated with the established antioxidant properties of rooibos. We show that isolates reduced biomarkers associated with lipid oxidative damage and improved the oxidative status of the cell. Thus, linearthin and other chalcone derivatives can be beneficial in protecting against the harmful effects of solar UVB radiation and consequent oxidative stress in humans.

MYRRH
15. The findings of this investigation support the valuable anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activity of myrrh; in addition, the wound healing properties could be attributed to its ability to modulate macrophage function. Using in vitro testing, our results revealed that myrrh had an anti-cancer effect against several cancer cell lines and an immunomodulatory effect with acceptable ADME properties.

VIT E
16. Topical vitamin E can reduce UV-induced skin swelling, skin thickness, erythema, and edema — all signs of skin inflammation

AVOCADO OIL
17. Moisturizes and nourishes: In addition to vitamin E, avocado oil contains potassium, lecithin, and many other nutrients that can nourish and moisturize the skin.
Relieves inflammation from psoriasis and eczema: The antioxidants and vitamins in avocado oil may help to heal the dry, irritated, and flaky skin associated with eczema and psoriasis.
Prevents and treats acne: When left on for short periods of time and rinsed off with warm water, avocado oil can keep skin hydrated without leaving an oily residue. This may reduce the risk of acne.
Accelerates wound healing: Avocado oil may help wounds to heal more quickly. One 2013 study found that the essential fatty acids and oleic acid in avocado oil can promote collagen synthesis, which is the process of creating new connective tissue. The essential fatty acids in avocado oil were also found to help reduce inflammation during the healing process.
Treats sunburned skin: The antioxidants in avocado oil may help to ease the symptoms of a sunburn. According to a 2011 review, the vitamin E, beta carotene, vitamin D, protein, lecithin, and essential fatty acids in the oil can support healing and soothe the skin.
The first signs of aging usually appear on the skin. Some studies have shown that consuming healthful fats, such as those found in avocados, can help the skin to retain its elasticity.
Improves nail health: While some people use avocado oil to heal dry, brittle nails, little scientific evidence confirms this benefit.
Improves scalp health: Applying avocado oil to the scalp as a hot oil mask can help to reduce dandruff and other problems caused by a dry, flaky scalp.

ROSE OIL
18. Rose oil has anti-inflammatory properties that nip redness in the bud, thereby soothing your skin. Rose oil's ability to quell irritation also makes it a go-to product for those with inflammatory skin conditions like rosacea and eczema. Thirteen clinical trials (772 participants) were included in this review. It was observed that rose oil had physiological and psychological relaxation, analgesic and anti-anxiety effects.

19. Exposure of the skin to ultraviolet rays accelerates the appearance of aging signs. Exposure to UV radiation resulted in severe oxidative stress due to the production of ROS. These signs appear because ultraviolet radiation causes a deficiency of antioxidants and a reduction in anti-inflammatory and anti-wrinkling markers. Therefore, topical application of antioxidants protects skin from photoaging. In this regard, the use of natural skin care products is one of the safest alternatives to synthetic ones due to their lack of side effects. Moreover, a nanoformulation of natural products will increase the solubility of the active compound, improve skin penetration, and provide photoprotection.

ALLANTOIN
20. This work show, for the first time, the histological wound healing profile induced by allantoin in rats and demonstrated that it is able to ameliorate and fasten the reestablishment of the normal skin.

JOJOBA
21. When applied topically, constituents of plant oils (triglycerides, phospholipids, FFAs, phenolic compounds and antioxidants) may act synergistically by several mechanisms: (i) promoting skin barrier homeostasis; (ii) antioxidative activities; (iii) anti-inflammatory properties; (iv) direct and indirect (upregulation of antimicrobial peptides) anti-microbial properties; (v) promoting wound healing; and (vi) anti-carcinogenic properties.

22. It’s moisturizing. Jojoba oil is a humectant ingredient. This means that it works to attract water to the top layer of the skin, helping to keep the skin hydrated. This may help prevent bacterial infections, acne, and dandruff from forming.
Jojoba oil contains antimicrobial and antifungal properties. While lab testsfound that jojoba oil doesn’t kill all bacterial or fungal species, it does kill certain bacteria and fungi that can cause salmonella, an E. coli infection, and candida.
Jojoba oil is an antioxidant: can help your skin fight oxidative stress caused by everyday exposure to pollutants and other toxins.
It’s noncomedogenic: Although jojoba oil is a botanical substance, its makeup is so similar to the oil (sebum) your body naturally produces that your skin can’t tell the difference. This makes it less likely to build up on your skin and clog your pores, leading to fewer breakouts and less severe acne.
It’s hypoallergenic: On a molecular level, jojoba oil is a wax. Although it can be absorbed into your skin, its waxy nature allows it to create a soothing seal on the surface.
Unlike other botanical essential oils, jojoba oil is typically nonirritating. Allergic reaction is rare.
It helps control sebum production
Jojoba oil regulates sebum production because it’s so similarTrusted Source to the sebum that your body produces naturally.
When you put jojoba oil on your skin, your skin is soothed and moisturized. This sends a signal to your hair and sweat follicles that your skin doesn’t need additional sebum for hydration. This keeps skin from looking oily and helps prevent acne caused by clogged pores.
It may help promote collagen synthesis
The antioxidants in jojoba oil may help your body produce collagen. Collagen is a protein that’s in your skin and joints as well as the parts of your body made of cartilage.
Collagen levels decrease as you get older. This is part of the reason your facial structure changes as you age. At least one studyTrusted Source links antioxidants applied to the skin to improved collagen synthesis.
It may help speed up wound healing
Jojoba oil is a promising ingredientTrusted Source in stimulating wound healing. Preliminary research showsTrusted Source that jojoba oil encourages your skin cells to bind together after they’ve been separated by a scratch or cut. This may also be the reason for its ability to treat acne and acne scarring. These wound-healing properties could be connected to jojoba oil’s concentration of natural vitamin E. It may help soothe eczema, psoriasis, and other drying skin conditions
Jojoba oil has anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Topical application may help relieve dryness, flaking, itching, and related symptoms. People who have inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema may find jojoba oil especially beneficial.
It may help soothe sunburns. Jojoba oil is a popular ingredient in some natural sunscreen products. One study suggests that vitamin E, when combined with other antioxidants, can help protect your skin from sun damage. Jojoba oil contains both.
Sun damage can dehydrate your skin and cause flaking. Jojoba oil restores vitamin E, adds moisture, and promotes healing to soothe these symptoms of sunburns.
It may help treat acne: At least one clinical trial indicates that jojoba oil can help keep acne at bay. Jojoba oil has soothing anti-inflammatory agents, healing properties, is moisturizing, and is a natural antimicrobial. These properties suggest that jojoba oil could help you avoid breakouts as well as promote healing for mild acne.
It may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: Oxidative stress can be linkedTrusted Source to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. There’s no research that links jojoba to treating wrinkles and fine lines directly, but other plant products with antioxidant properties have been shown to improve the elasticity of skin. This means that the antioxidant power of jojoba oil may help slow the signs of aging when used on your skin.
It may help minimize the appearance of scars
Vitamin E has long been recommended by health professionals to help with scarring. Research on whether this works — and, if so, to what extent — is still ongoing. If you’d like to try vitamin E as a remedy to scarring, jojoba oil may prove to be beneficial in the healing process.
Jojoba oil’s natural wound-healing properties combined with its vitamin E content, could minimize the appearance of scars.

COCONUT OIL
23. It Can Kill Harmful Microorganisms
The medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil have antimicrobial properties that can help protect against harmful microorganisms.
This is especially important for skin health, as many types of skin infections, including acne, cellulitis, folliculitis and athlete’s foot, are caused by bacteria or fungi.
Coconut Oil Could Reduce Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a major component of many different types of skin disorders, including psoriasis, contact dermatitis and eczema.
Coconut Oil May Help Treat Acne
While some think coconut oil clogs pores, considerable research shows it might actually help treat acne.
Acne is an inflammatory condition, and many of the medications used to treat it work by targeting and reducing inflammation.
Coconut Oil Can Moisturize Dry Skin
In addition to its effects on acne and inflammation, applying coconut oil to your skin can also help keep it hydrated.
One study in patients with mild to moderately dry skin compared the effects of coconut oil to mineral oil, a type of oil made from petroleum that’s often used to treat dry skin.
The two-week study found that coconut oil significantly improved skin hydration and was just as effective as mineral oil.
Coconut Oil May Help With Wound Healing
Several studies have demonstrated that coconut oil may also aid wound healing.
One animal study looked at how coconut oil applied to the skin affected wound healing in rats.
It found that treating the wounds with virgin coconut oil sped up healing, improved antioxidant status and increased levels of collagen, an important protein that aids in wound healing.

Both products has the same concentration and ingredients except one ingredient. Gel has witch hazel and spritz has cucumber. We love the spritz for small children, pets and open wounds as a practical solution.

We always suggest starting with the spritz as this is a bit more soothing than the gel; it is delivered in a soft mist with extra cucumber. When the skin becomes stronger we suggest using the gel as the whitch hazel has tremendous benefits for allergic reactions.

We always suggest starting with the soothing spritz to prevent this from happening. BUT this is not necessarily a bad thing. This is a fast way of finding the reason for your skin allergy- or one of the reason that contribute to it. Allergic reactions can be due to many factors but when products are used with ingredients like steroids that suppress redness and itching, the sting stop will not react kindly to it. Sting stop is used to recover (not camouflage the symphtoms) and from experience we found when something is topically applied that should be avoided it will react when stingstop is applied.

The second reason could be that you are allergic to a natural ingredient used in our formulation.

To know which one it is: wash the skin with cold water. Then reapply the stingstop. If it doesn't sting- you know itnot the sting stop . Possible culprits: washing powder, shampoo, bodywash, purfume or spray.
