Q: Does this product contain steroids?
A: Hello there! Thank you for your interest in our Healing Ointment. All the ingredients we use in a product are listed on the package or the label of the product itself. For products too small to accommodate the list, a separate ingredient list is available on the display unit in the store for your convenience. Since some ingredients are known by more than one name, we use the standard industry FDA-recognized names. We hope this was helpful!

Q: This is my first time using this product. The cream is so thick that it doesn't come out of the container without a lot of squeezing and it looks and feels like vaseline. Is this normal?
A: Hi there! We appreciate your comments and concerns and want to assure you that you are being heard. Consumer feedback is so important to us as it helps us when making decisions about our products, such as this. We will be forwarding this along to the appropriate department. Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns.
submitted byCerave Product Expert - 6 years agoBrand expertA: Yes, it looks and feels like Vaseline. It should come out of the tube somewhat thick but not as how you describe. I recommend exchanging, check the expiration date. I bought mine a few weeks back and the expiration date is 2021.
