The simple answer is that the topical vitamins are mixed with a natural component that helps them absorb past the epidermis and into the tiny capillaries located close to the skin’s surface. How the vitamins are absorbed depends on the body placement of the topical vitamin. Thinner skin, such as under the eye or the delicate skin of the wrist, have tiny blood vessels that are closer to the surface. Thicker skin, such as the skin on your arms or legs, have hair follicles and sweat glands that can offer topical vitamins access to tiny blood vessels. Our topicals are mixed with oils that work well with lipophilic, or oil-friendly, skin cells, helping to protect the skin from dehydration.

If you or someone you love is among the 66+ million Americans with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the 3 million Americans diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, or the 20 million Americans taking a Semaglutide injection or tablet for weight loss, topical vitamins are for you. Compromised digestive systems make it challenging or impossible to fully digest oral supplements. Gutless topical vitamins were created to bypass the digestive system for easy absorption!

It might be easier to say where you shouldn't put topical vitamins:

• Never put them in your eyes, ears, nose or on sensitive areas, such as your genitals.
• Don’t put them on broken or irritated skin.
• ALWAYS do a small patch test before you try topicals on a larger area of the body as allergies can occur to any ingredient.

While you can put topical vitamins anywhere on the body besides the areas listed above, some users have found success targeting specific areas.

•  The vitamin E enhances a sense of calm. Use it behind your neck or on your chest just before bedtime, allowing the lavender aromatherapy to take effect.
• Try the vitamin K under your eyes. It includes caffeine and green tea that help reduce puffiness and dark circles.
• Vitamin A with calendula oil is soothing for dry and super dry skin. Apply it to dry areas after a shower.
• Vitamin D is a heavier topical that stays on the skin longer. If you find it difficult to wear, put it on a bandage and wear it like a vitamin D patch or rub it into the skin on your legs.
• Vitamin C and vitamin B both have aloe bases and absorb completely. These are great for the face, chest, or arms.

Topicals work best on clean skin and shouldn't be layered on top of each other.
