Guide Review - Brave Soldier Antiseptic Ointment - Wonder Goo For Travelers
I first checked out Brave Soldier antiseptic healing ointment at Interbike, the national bicycle retailer show; within a week, I was giving it the old asphalt test on a particularly raw road rash -- it worked.
Didn't dawn on me to try it on other ouchie types until I overloaded a woodstove one cold winter's eve and needed serious lidocaine -- while cramming in a last log, I neatly laid my wrist against a piece of iron hot enough to do Hansel and Gretel's witch proud. Ice kept me from crying like a baby, but Brave Soldier ultimately calmed and healed that potentially puckering sucker -- today, I have no scar and a tube of the stuff now lives permanently in my travel gear; I'm a convert.
Good Stuff Inside
Comfrey, a natural cell regenerative, is the key to Brave Soldier's healing power. Ingredients:
- Tea tree oil
- Jojoba oil (moisturizes)
- Green tea extract
- Macadamia nut oil
- Organic comfrey
- Aloe vera extract
- Hempseed oil (there for the cool factor; doesn't really heal)
- Lavender oil
- Triclosan (poisons -- yes, poisons -- bacterial enzymes, but not you)
- Lidocaine
- Bisobolol (an anti-inflammatory)
- Vitamins A, C, and E
- Glycerin
- Dimethicone copolyol (silicon additive)
I don't want to try Brave Soldier and Neosporin in a goo-to-goo test; I'd trust the brave one with a hangnail or surgery scars. Tuck a tube in your backpack and fear no travel booboo.
