HyGrade Product Testimonials

"I'm 75 years old. I've used HyGrade Lotion since a small sample bottle was placed by my plate at a Wool Growers Banquet in Montrose, CO in 1948. My friends keep asking 'Where are you wrinkles?' I'll use it as long as I live and can get it."

"I think that this hand lotion must have been the original hand sanitizer. I work in a jail so frequent hand washing is a must, so lots of lotion.  I can put it on and go right back to handling paperwork without leaving prints etc.  Works great for restoring my hands after working long hours on the fireline. My grandmother used HyGrade hand lotion as far back as I can remember so the smell is a very familiar one. Thanks."

"I grew up in southwestern Colorado and we have used HyGrade Lotion since I can remember way back to the 1950's. It is the best and my family has used the lip balm for at least 30 years. In this dry climate there is none better."

"How cool is it that HyGrade is still around. My Mother used to love your lotion when we lived in Grand Junction in the 1960’s....whenever that was. On a lark I did a search for Kuner’s Catsup, but apparently that company must have gone out of business or was bought by another. Anyway, my Mother is still going strong (even bought a P.T. Cruiser a couple years ago)."

"I just wanted to let you know that your foot lotion has cured my nasty feet!  My husband bought me a container of your foot lotion after I had tried many things to decrease the encrusted amount of callus that builds up and cracks open on my heals and feet. Even pedicures would only help for a few days. Now, I use your product once a week and my feet are soft, callus free and feel great.  Thank you."

"My wife and her family have used HyGrade Lotion for many years mostly as hand lotion. This winter I have tried it for relief and prevention of dry-skin eczema on my ankles and it has been a perfect solution to a skin problem that I have had for over 20 years."

"I was first introduced to HyGrade Lotion 30 years ago while being a nurse.... [My pharmacist] swore by this product as you can imagine working with prescriptions all day, he washed his hands constantly....

"I'm 64 years old and have wonderful skin and look 20-25 years younger. After bath, I apply every night and also just on face and throat before putting on makeup."

"My grandson took my bottle of HyGrade Lotion on a scuba party at Flaming Gorge. There was lots of sunburn and blistered and cracked feet. [He] used it on himself and shared it with everyone in need. Everyone wanted to know where he got it and how they could get a bottle. They all said it's the best lotion they have ever used. I vouch for that too."

"I have an allergy which causes the skin on my hands to dry out and crack. A friend recently gave me some of your HyGrade Lotion for the Skin. This lotion has helped to reduce the dryness and cracking."

"[Ammonia] is, in my opinion, probably most responsible for what you call 'HyGrade's healing powers.' If you had not included ammonia, we would like not have continued our use of the product. It does help heal the low-grade skin infections that contribute significantly to painfully dry and irritated skin....

"The point I want to make is that we have always called HyGrade our 'stinky lotion. 'This is of course 'tongue-in-cheek,' but it is with all due respect and appreciation for the ammonia that does the job. You would not be in our medicine cabinet without it."

"I received my first sample of HyGrade Lotion from old Republic Drug... in Denver. This was during World War II. I was making tents for the troops.... All the water-proofing and mildew-proofing on the canvas along with being rationed on soaps and detergents created a severe hand problem. I used my sample of lotion and my hands healed overnight....

"I'm 77 years old and a native of Colorado. I'm so happy to know you're still in business."

"The lotion is a godsend! It's the first reliable treatment I've found for my psoriasis. It's better than anything prescribed by my dermatologist. It controls the itching and scaling of older patches and heals the new ones. Plus, it's given me my cuticles back. It's great. Thanks!

"Ever since I was initiated into the use of HyGrade Lotion [I'm not even sure how many years] I've used it faithfully to keep my hands from cracking and bleeding [honest]. It's the only one I've used that will do the job — when I work in dirt and grease, hand detergents [scrubbing] etc. — this has been my stand-by; it cures the problem."

"I had given up hope with my dry skin of ever having smooth soft lips. Nothing seemed to work. I can hardly believe the difference HyGrade Lip Balm has made. I no longer have any problems.

"The same applies at the other end of my anatomy! Both in the summer and more particularly in winter with central heating, I always had cracks — really painful ones — in my heels and around the big toes.... Thanks to HyGrade Foot Conditioner, I no longer have [this problem]....

"The above sounds like an advertising blurb but I really haven't exaggerated the effects your products have had on my skin. I'm delighted and very grateful."

"The country we live in is subject to almost constant cold, windy, rainy conditions which cause hands to become chapped and irritated. I had tried several products which advertised they took care of this, but none of them really did much good.

"About a month ago a neighbor gave me a bottle of your HyGrade Lotion. In less than a week my hands were markedly improved, and are now completely healed."

"When I got married I told my husband about HyGrade; he likes it because it isn't greasy and doesn't have a lot of perfume in it. He uses it on cuts and scratches and says it makes them heal better than anything if you can stand the first few minutes. He took HyGrade to hunting camp and soon had all the guys using it to protect chapped hands....

"My kids complain about the smell but they use HyGrade because it's the only lotion that really works for their weather-chapped hands. Please don't ever try to change HyGrade; it's perfect the way it is."

"I never used a lotion that burned so bad, smelled so awful, or done so much good in my life. I have... lots of places that get red, raw, and irritated and I have to admit that your HyGrade Lotion is the only thing that I have found that will keep my skin... free from irritation. It burns like the dickens when I put it on and I do a little dance around the room until it stops burning but believe it or not if I use it daily I don't have any trouble with rash."

"Let me congratulate you on the finest skin lotion I've ever used. I have very sensitive skin and the California sun really takes a toll.

"I had severe flaking and itching from dryness and after only one application it was much improved."

"HyGrade Lotion is wonderful! In two weeks it has nearly cleared up a terrible area of dry skin on my abdomen. I had been trying other brands of lotion recommended by physicians but none had successfully helped my skin problem."

"I have had a problem with my hands for the past fourteen years, with the skin drying, cracking, bleeding.... I have been to many dermatologists during this time....

"A friend of mine... noticed my hands two weeks ago and gave me some of your lotion to try.... The result is amazing! .... Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful product."

"I recently was given a small sample of your lotion to use on my daughter, who has extremely dry skin and all of the problems associated with this condition. She has been suffering with a severe case of contact dermatitis on her lower arms. We have been doctoring this for over a year using different types of cortisone with little effect. After two or three applications of your lotion we have noticed a marked improvement...."

"My doctor was so pleased with the way HyGrade healed my hands that he is telling his patients...."
