    PHUEL has been clinically proven safe for multiple skin types, the face, and mucous membranes. Plus, it contains non-toxic and gentle ingredients, and it can be used as often as needed anywhere on the body. However, if you have a skin condition, it is recommended that you consult your doctor or skin care professional first.

  • Does PHUEL interact with medications or other topical products?

    PHUEL should not interact with medications or other topical products. However, some topical products such as lotions or creams can act as a barrier and make PHUEL less effective. Therefore, we recommend that you apply PHUEL first, let it dry fully, and then apply lotions or other topical products. If you have questions or concerns, check with your doctor or pharmacist.

  • Can PHUEL be used with adjunct therapies like TENS devices and hot/cold packs?

    Yes. PHUEL can be used along with adjunct therapies. It will not affect the way those products work.

  • Is PHUEL safe for children?

    PHUEL’s formulation has been studied in subjects aged 17 and older. It has been used in high school athletes for several years. We have no evidence to suggest it cannot be used in younger subjects, as many of the same ingredients included in our base formulation are used in pediatric hospitals. You should always consult your pediatric physician prior to using any product such as PHUEL.

  • Is PHUEL safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?

    While all of the ingredients in PHUEL are non-toxic, gentle, and safe to use anywhere on the body, it’s always best to talk to your doctor before using any new product when you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Can I use PHUEL on sunburned, blistered, or damaged skin?

    PHUEL has been clinically proven safe for multiple skin types, the face, and mucous membranes. Plus, it contains non-toxic and gentle ingredients, and it can be used as often as needed anywhere on the body. However, if you have a skin condition, it is recommended that you consult your doctor or skin care professional first.

  • I take a statin medication and am told to avoid consuming grapefruit. Can I use PHUEL since it has grapefruit extract?

    PHUEL is a topical, locally acting solution (applied to the skin and works only where you need it to). The grapefruit extract contribution in total to the PHUEL formulation is such that systemic effects (affecting the whole body) would be considered negligible, especially since PHUEL is not intended to be ingested. However, it’s best to check with your doctor before using PHUEL.

  • I have a sulfur allergy. Can I use PHUEL since it has magnesium sulfate?

    A sulfur allergy is typically related to sulfonamide antibiotics, which are oral, systemic (affect your whole body) drugs. Magnesium sulfate is a naturally occurring mineral, and it’s part of our topical solution, so it gets applied to the skin and works only where you need it to—not throughout your body like systemic products. While we don’t believe you would have allergy issues, it’s best to check with your doctor before using PHUEL.

  • Does PHUEL contain parabens?

    PHUEL contains a very small amount of methylparaben and propylparaben, which are a fraction (approximately 1/200) of what the FDA says is safe for daily use. Methylparaben and propylparaben are used as product preservatives, protecting consumers from things like harmful bacteria and mold.

    According to the Food and Drug Administration, parabens have not been shown to be harmful as used in cosmetics—and topical solutions like PHUEL—because they contain very small amounts.
