     
Stretch marks are tears in the collagen beneath the top layer of skin. Our cream is formulated to deliver
vitamin E down into the torn tissue helping the collagen to heal thus diminishing the appearance of the
marks, and in most cases making them disappear altogether. Vitamin E or cocoa butter alone will not work
due to the size of their molecule, they are just too big to penetrate the skin. We use lanolin, which has a
very small molecule, to deliver the ingredients past the top layer of skin into the torn tissue.
When Barmon Inc. first started selling our
stretch mark cream 25 years ago, the United States Postal Service
investigated the company for postal fraud, due to the nature of our
claim and the belief that nothing could get rid of stretch marks.
After a very brief hearing, it was determined that Barmon's Skin
Care Stretch Mark Cream does really work --- and we were allowed to
continue selling our product. Twenty-five years later, we are still
going strong. We couldn't have lasted this long unless we were doing
something right. Hundreds of unsolicited letters prove that our cream
really works!
Over the years, we found that the best form
of advertising for this product was through mailings to new mothers
and through word of mouth. So, unless you've had a baby and been on
one of our mailing lists, you may not have heard of us. We have,
however, advertised on TV and in popular magazines such as Elle, Harper's
Bazaar and Vogue. We are hoping that
the internet will provide an easier way to reach more of you and
answer your questions efficiently.
The healing process for each individual's
skin is different, so there is no way to provide a specific time
frame regarding the length of time that it will take for you to see
results. However, we have generally found that people begin to see
results after about 3 weeks of use. The level of results differs
from person to person, depending on the severity of your stretch
marks and your personal health habits. For instance, the
effectiveness of our cream can be influenced if you smoke, drink
alcohol or sunbathe. These factors are very harmful to your skin
and can slow down the healing process.
People always wonder if they need to use the
cream forever once the stretch marks are gone. The stretch mark
cream helps the skin to heal, so once the stretch marks are gone,
they are gone forever. However, if you have another child, new
stretch marks may form.
Absolutely! We designed the cream so that
mothers can use the cream on their breasts while nursing. Barmon's
Skin Care Stretch Mark Cream is an all natural product and will not
harm your child.
Yes. If you use Barmon's Skin Care Stretch
Mark Cream before and during your pregnancy, you will greatly reduce
the chance of getting stretch marks.
No. When Barbara Feiring founded our recipe
and our company more than 25 years ago, she had given birth to her
first child 15 years earlier. Based on her own personal success, she
decided to market and sell her stretch mark cream to others; new
mothers, athletes -- anyone who has stretch marks and wants their
stretch marks and skin to heal.
Absolutely! Over the years we have had many
male customers, especially body builders and weight lifters. Men
experience the same results as women.
Yes, it works for all skin types. Over the
years, we've been asked this question many times. Our response has
always been that skin is skin and stretch marks don't seem to differ
from one skin type to another.
Yes, we have a superior line of cosmetics
and cleansers, and we are developing a new line of cosmetics. A
brochure will be included with your order, so you can learn about
these great products. Future enhancements to this web site will
include more details regarding our new products.
