7 Cream is a topical homeopathic skin care remedy with 7 natural ingredients whose healing properties help radiation burns. It is also effective on many other skin conditions such as exzema and flaky, dry skin.

The 7 ingredients are:

1. Shea Butter from the nut of the Karite tree from Africa. Shea butter penetrates the skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth. It contains substances which have anti-microbial and moisturizing properties.

2. Avacado oil contains vitamins A, C, D and E, proteins, beta-carotene, lecithin, fatty acids and potassium. It has a superior moisturizing effect on the upper layer of the skin and reduces roughness, cracking and irritation.

3. Coconut oil is one of the safest most effective natural body moisturizers available. Research shows it to have significant antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal properties.

4. Neem oil has its origins in the traditional medicine of many cultures in Asia and Africa. It is used widely in India where the plant is known as "Divine Tree" and the "Heal All".

5. Manuka Honey is honey from the flower of the Manuka tree indigenous to New Zealand. It's healing properties have been known to the Maoris for a very long time. Manuka honey is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory and promotes a hydrated healing environment. 7 Cream uses high quality Organic OMA(R) 16+ honey.

6. Aloe Vera is a well known plant with many documented therapeutic effects. It has more than 200 biologically active components. Aloe vera has been found to have anti-inflammatory, burn healing and wound and scar reducing properties. 7 Cream contains organically grown aloe vera gel.

7. Calendula from the Marigold, has been used by herbalists and homeopaths for hundreds of years for its anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. 7 Cream uses an organic alcohol free extract.

Comments from the manufacturer (made in Canada):

There have been several unplanned uses for 7 Cream that have come about through experimentation by users. One of the most encouraging things we are getting feedback about is the dramatic effect that 7 Cream is having for cancer sufferers who are undergoing radiation therapy. Radiation burn treatment is fast becoming one of the main uses for 7 Cream as word spreads on the internet and by word of mouth.

The reason for this effect on radiation burns is obvious in retrospect. The combination of Aloe, Calendula, Manuka Honey, each of which has been shown to assist burn healing, plus the unique blend of oils (Shea, Avocado, Neem, Coconut, Manuka) is perfect for healing skin with this kind of damage.

7 cream is also remarkable for healing normal burns. We also have had testimonials from customers who are using it succesfully as an after sun cream. So by the same token it was sure to be useful for the effect on the skin from radiation burns, and so it has proved to be.

This cream, while excellent as a moisturizer, protective barrier cream, and infection preventer, was also designed to be a promoter of healing for damaged skin. It is therefore very useful for injuries and burns as well as eczema/dermatitis type conditions and fungal infections. To my initial surprise, it is also being used cosmetically for its moisturising effect by some.

The unique aspects of the formula are in the combination of ingredients. Many homeopaths use Calendula cream. 7 Cream contains as much Calendula extract alone as most Calendula creams yet in a much stronger form than most. We use an organic vegetable glycerine extact of Calendula made specially for us by Gaia Herbs. It is a deep yellowy/green colour as opposed to the watery looking homeopathic tinctures used in most other creams! However 7 Cream also has the added benefit of the other 6 active ingredients: aloe, manuka honey and the unique combination of oils which was arrived at after a lot of thought and research. Each oil has its own properties but they are proving to work very well together too.
