From Our Customers

5/5

I had a stubborn plantar wart on my foot that wouldn’t go away, no matter what I tried. A friend recommended WartStick®, and I wish I had found it sooner. The stick is easy to use—no mess, no hassle—and it let me target the wart directly. Within a few weeks, it was gone, and I was back to normal. If you’re dealing with common or plantar warts, this is the product you need.

5/5

I’ve had painful corns for years from wearing work boots, and CornStick® has been a game changer. The applicator is precise, making it simple to apply directly to the corn without wasting product. Within a week, the pain started easing up, and the corn softened noticeably. It’s clear this is made by a company that understands real foot care needs. If you’re on your feet all day, give this a try.

5/5

I started using Solar Stick® because my lips would get dry and cracked, especially during winter or long days outside. This product works wonders. It’s smooth, doesn’t feel greasy, and keeps my lips hydrated for hours. I keep one in my bag and another in my car—it’s just that reliable. If you’re looking for a no-fuss lip moisturizer that works, Solar Stick® is it.

5/5

I tried Herb Street® Anti-Itch Relief after battling mosquito bites that wouldn’t stop itching. Within minutes of applying it, the itch was gone, and my skin felt calm again. I also used it on a patch of dry, irritated skin, and it worked just as well. It’s now a must-have in my first-aid kit for quick relief. If you need something that really works, Herb Street® is a great choice.

FAQ

What is WartStick® and how does it work?

WartStick® is an over-the-counter wart remover containing 40% salicylic acid, the highest strength available. It works by breaking down the infected skin cells, allowing the wart to peel away gently over time. The solid stick formula makes it easy to apply precisely without the mess of liquids.

WartStick® is designed to treat common warts and plantar warts. Common warts usually appear on hands, fingers, and elbows, while plantar warts are found on the soles of the feet and can be more painful. It is not intended for use on genital, flat, or facial warts.

To use WartStick®:

  1. Wash the affected area and dry it thoroughly.
  2. If desired, soak the wart in warm water for up to 5 minutes.
  3. Dry the area and apply a thin layer of WartStick® directly to the wart.
  4. Cover with a bandage.
  5. Repeat this process every 24 to 48 hours until the wart is removed (up to 12 weeks). Avoid applying to normal skin around the wart.

Yes, WartStick® is suitable for both kids ages 2+ and adults. Its gentle, odorless formula is designed to provide painless wart removal, making it a great choice for children. However, always supervise application and consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns.

While WartStick® is generally safe, some users might experience mild skin irritation. If the area becomes excessively irritated, stop using the product and consult a healthcare professional. Avoid use on irritated, infected, or broken skin, and do not use if you have diabetes or poor blood circulation without medical advice.

The time needed for WartStick® to remove a wart can vary depending on the size and location of the wart. Many users report seeing results within a few weeks of consistent use, but it may take up to 12 weeks for complete removal.

Yes, WartStick® can be applied to multiple warts. Make sure to follow the application instructions carefully, and avoid spreading the virus by washing hands after each use. Do not share the stick with others.

Yes, unlike many liquid treatments, WartStick® has no harsh or unpleasant odors, making it more comfortable for everyday use.

WartStick® is formulated to be gentle, but if you have sensitive skin, it is recommended to test a small amount on your skin first. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

WartStick® is available online at www.wartstick.com and www.balassalabs.com. We also are on other major retailers such as Amazon.

Store WartStick® at room temperature. Make sure the cap is properly sealed after each use. The product has no expiration date, so it remains effective as long as it’s stored correctly and remains sealed.

Yes, you should cover the treated area with a bandage. This can help keep the wart protected and reduce the risk of spreading the virus to other area

If the wart persists after 12 weeks of consistent use, consult a healthcare provider. They can provide guidance on alternative treatments or other medical procedures.

WartStick® starts to work by softening the wart, which may then peel off layer by layer. Signs of improvement include a gradual reduction in size and texture of the wart.

The active ingredient in WartStick® is 40% salicylic acid. Inactive ingredients include castor oil, chlorobutanol, paraffin, rosin, and yellow wax. These components work together to provide effective, targeted treatment.

So skeptical- but it worked within days on my finger. I tried freezing at home, bandages, etc. nothing worked, but this did.
