Care Instructions

  • The hydrogel must contact the skin for best results. Clean the skin of oil, dirt, lotions, etc. and dry completely.
  • It is sometimes helpful to use medical tape around the edges or a tension bandage to hold the patch securely in place.
  • The Black Patch is designed to apply easily and remove residue-free. However, due to heat, excessive moisture, or other factors, some hydrogel residue may transfer.
  • If residue transfers onto the skin or clothing, simply wash off with warm water or in the laundry.
  • The Black Patch is proudly made in America with natural, food grade ingredients. However, it's not edible so keep it out of reach of small children.
