Primal Body Cream

The published formula from *The Recipe for Living Without Disease* (page 145) contains the following ingredients in the following quantities:

- 2 ounces raw cream - 2 ounces unsalted raw butter - 2 ounces raw coconut cream - 1/4 teaspoon unheated honey - 1/4 teaspoon royal jelly - 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger juice

The preparation method begins by stirring the lime juice into the coconut cream and allowing the mixture to stand for 10 minutes. All ingredients are then warmed together in an 8-ounce jar capped with blender washer, blades, and base, immersed in a bowl of mildly hot water for 5 minutes. The mixture is then blenderized on medium speed for 5 seconds. After applying to the skin, any excess should be wiped away 20 to 30 minutes after application. The cream must be kept refrigerated and will keep for 2 months under refrigeration.

Aajonus noted a difference in texture depending on preparation method. When he blended the ingredients cold, the result was creamy in consistency, resembling a commercial face cream. When he immersed the jar in warm water so all the ingredients melted first and then blended for only about 20 seconds, the cream solidified in the refrigerator into something more like a harder butter with very little air in it. He observed that the warm-blended version lasted longer.

Aajonus described the formula as a three-part fat combination: one part butter, one part coconut cream, one part dairy cream. He explained that this combination is specifically necessary for sun protection because none of the three fats alone provides protection. He stated directly: "Put the coconut by itself, you'll burn. Put the cream on by itself, you'll burn. Put the butter on by itself, you'll burn." The combination of all three in equal parts is what produces the sunscreen and tanning effect.

He confirmed this through testing: "The new skin formula is one part each of honey, excuse me, coconut cream, butter, raw cream. It has to be that combination." When making an 8-ounce jar, this means 2 ounces of butter, 2 ounces of cream, and 2 ounces of coconut cream, with 1/2 teaspoon of honey and 1/8 teaspoon of royal jelly.

In empirical tests Aajonus reported that the cream "acted on ALL participants as both a sunscreen and tanning lotion." During those tests, some participants believed they had burned because they were very red, but the next morning there was no burn, no soreness, and no peeling. Participants who normally did not tan did tan. He also noted that he himself had a tan from 35 minutes in the sun one day after using the formula.

Each of the three fats serves a different physiological function in the skin. Butter is the primary fat for skin lubrication, bone, connective tissue, and direct topical feeding. Coconut cream is predominantly a cleanser, capable of dissolving metals and toxins rapidly, with roughly 70% of its action being detoxifying and approximately 30% destabilizing. Dairy cream soothes the nervous system. Combining all three addresses lubrication, cleansing, and soothing simultaneously.

In his later workshops Aajonus updated the formula by adding a fourth equal part: fresh bone marrow. He described the updated ratio as one-fourth dairy cream, one-fourth butter, one-fourth coconut cream, and one-fourth fresh bone marrow. His reasoning was that bone marrow is one of only three substances containing stem cells (alongside sperm and ovum), making it uniquely capable of regenerating skin tissue rather than merely protecting or soothing it.

He stated: "The only thing that's going to bring your skin back to life is sperm and bone marrow because they have the stem cells." He explained that other fats can protect the skin, especially coconut cream, but that actual cellular regeneration requires stem cells, and the only practical topical source of stem cells is fresh bone marrow.

He acknowledged that the bone marrow version of the cream develops a slightly gamey odor after a while, but observed that once applied to the skin and left for about five minutes, the odor dissipates. He used this version himself after a massage left excess cream on his skin.

He also presented bone marrow as a remarkable anti-aging agent in its own right, stating that applying bone marrow to the skin every day produces dramatic results: "Within six weeks, 80% of your wrinkles will be gone." He contrasted this favorably with nanotechnology cosmetic approaches, which he said poison cells to make them lose their memory and relax, eliminating wrinkles through cellular damage rather than cellular regeneration.

Aajonus was explicit that the cream feeds the skin and helps prevent lines and wrinkles with regular application, and that it can slowly remove existing lines and wrinkles. He applied this understanding to a case involving a cosmetologist who had been on the Primal Diet for approximately 10 years but still had dry skin and looked her age because she would not eat enough butter internally. Applying the Primal Facial Body Care Cream topically was helpful, but Aajonus noted that topical application still cannot fully substitute for internal fat consumption: "It still didn't feed the body like it would if it were fed from the inside."

When he introduced bone marrow into her topical protocol, the results were dramatic enough that he began recommending it more broadly. He also described his own experience with skin aging after a period of serious illness, during which drying of his tissues caused his lips to shrink and shrivel. He began applying pieces of raw meat to his face overnight, holding them in place while sleeping, and observed that a single overnight application eliminated approximately 10% of his wrinkles. Continuing the practice at two to three times per week, he reduced wrinkles by an additional 2% to 4% with each application. He preferred sirloin for this purpose.

One of the most frequently cited uses of the Primal Facial Body Care Cream in workshops and correspondence is protection of the skin during detoxification. Aajonus estimated that approximately 90% of the body's waste products exit through the skin, and he described the industrial toxic environment as placing an exceptional burden on the skin. When toxins pass through the skin they can cause rashes, scarring, itching, burning, and other forms of damage. He stated that applying the cream every day "reduces the chance of scarring from skin detoxification" by approximately 80%, such that most people would never be able to detect the scarring even under close inspection.

He recommended the cream in this context to anyone experiencing skin detoxification reactions, including rashes from vaccine toxins passing through the skin, reactions from advanced glycation end products, yeast-related skin symptoms, and general toxic discharge through the skin. The cream does not stop the detoxification but protects the skin tissue from being damaged by the caustic substances as they exit.

He also specifically recommended the cream alongside dietary interventions for toxin-related skin conditions. For example, in a written Q&A he combined the cream recommendation with eating 1/2 teaspoon no-salt raw cheese every hour alternating with 1/4 teaspoon butter and 1/4 teaspoon honey, and consuming 1 tablespoon moist Terramin clay in 6 ounces of raw milk twice daily.

Aajonus described the Primal Facial Body Care Cream as effective against skin itching regardless of cause. He stated that applying the cream to any itchy area results in the itching disappearing within five minutes, and that it does not need to be reapplied until the skin is exposed to water again or otherwise dried out. He said: "Put that anywhere on your skin, anywhere on your body, itching goes away in five minutes and you don't have to reapply it until you take a bath or a shower."

He applied this recommendation broadly, covering itching from Candida-related skin reactions, dryness, detoxification rashes, and any other skin problem involving itching or dryness. For Candida-related skin conditions specifically, he noted that toxins from yeast die-off pass through the skin and cause itching and other reactions, and that the cream soothes this process.

For sunburn, Aajonus listed the Primal Facial Body Care Cream as a primary topical treatment in *We Want to Live*. He also described it in the book as an all-in-one sunscreen and suntan lotion that "slowly dissolves scabs that have already formed" when liberally applied and left on. During sunscreen tests, participants who became very red and believed they had burned found the next morning there was no burn or soreness and no peeling occurred. None of the participants peeled.

He presented several alternative sunburn treatments for comparison: a mixture of 2 tablespoons fresh raw aloe gel, 1/6 teaspoon fresh royal jelly, 1/4 teaspoon sun-dried powdered clay, and 1 teaspoon stone-pressed olive oil; or simply raw egg white applied to the burn. He positioned the Primal Facial Body Care Cream as the superior option.

Applied liberally to a cut, scrape, or abrasion, the cream helps prevent excessive scabbing and the dryness that results from scabbing, and helps the wound heal without scarring. When already-formed scabs are present, the cream, liberally applied and left on, slowly dissolves them.

Aajonus addressed shaving with the Primal Facial Body Care Cream directly in response to a correspondent who was already using it as shaving cream but experiencing post-shave redness for about half an hour. He acknowledged that the cream works in this role, noting that nicks heal quickly, but he described his own preferred method, which is somewhat different.

His personal shaving protocol is as follows: apply coconut cream to the face about 5 minutes before shaving. Then whip a whole raw egg and apply it over the coconut cream. Shave with the whipped egg on the face. Rinse the razor in clean water frequently between strokes to remove hair from between the blades, then dip the razor back into the whipped egg before continuing. Drink whatever egg is not used. He stated that when using the whole raw egg including the yolk, he never cuts himself, and that the yolk "actually does a facial number." He noted that using butter, cream, or whipped cream alone still causes him to cut himself, but the whole raw egg works perfectly because of its slimy texture.

Aajonus recommended that when coconut cream is used as a body soap, which he noted cleans effectively but can over-dry the skin, the Primal Facial Body Care Cream should be applied afterward to replenish what was removed. He also offered the alternative of rubbing a thin layer of plain coconut cream back into the skin after washing.

Aajonus described a related but separate preparation for a client with breast cancer history who had developed thick, scarred skin with adipose tissue buildup. He instructed her to take 3 ounces of raw cream, juice ginger to produce 1 ounce of ginger juice, blend them together to make a whipped cream, and apply this all over the body. He reported transformative results from this protocol.

In another workshop context he described a formula of 3.5 ounces of cream with 1 tablespoon of ginger juice as a moisturizer for people experiencing skin symptoms when toxins pass through the skin. For a specific case involving a fungal-type skin condition with rough, thickened darker skin (described in a Q&A as possibly related to poor circulation), he recommended the standard Primal Facial Body Care Cream with 5 times the normal quantity of ginger and 3 times the normal quantity of lime, added to the standard recipe.

Aajonus was careful to distinguish between the two routes by which the skin can receive nourishment: from inside via the diet, and from outside via topical application. He consistently said that internal feeding is superior and that topical application, while genuinely effective, cannot fully compensate for internal fat deficiency. He described the problem: in most people, especially those who are highly toxic, the organs and glands absorb fats so aggressively during their repair and detoxification processes that very little fat reaches the skin, connective tissue, and bones even when large amounts are consumed. He said: "You don't overwhelm the body with one fat, the cells with one fat" when explaining the cream's multi-fat composition, noting that the variety of fats in the cream ensures the skin can actually take up what it needs.

He developed the Moisturizing/Lubrication Formula specifically to solve the internal delivery problem by using lemon juice with butter, honey, and eggs to speed fat through the digestive system so fast that "the glands and the organs can't utilize it all, and some gets to the bone and skin and connective tissue." But he stated that even with this formula, and even when eating a pound of butter a day, topical application is still an important complement: "You can always feed the skin from the outside."

The cosmetologist case illustrates the limits of topical-only application. She was on the diet for 10 years, applied the cream regularly, but still looked her age because she refused to eat enough butter. Topical application helped but did not substitute for internal fat consumption sufficient to produce visible skin improvement from within.

Aajonus recommended applying the Primal Facial Body Care Cream every day for anyone undergoing significant skin detoxification or trying to reduce wrinkles and maintain skin health. He also described the option of applying it after bathing, and noted that he himself bathed only once every 5 to 7 days, meaning the cream could remain on the skin for extended periods without needing to be reapplied.

He recommended wiping away any excess cream 20 to 30 minutes after application rather than leaving a thick layer indefinitely, noting that excess can be removed while the absorbed portion remains in the skin.

He mentioned using the cream as part of a weekly massage protocol in which butter and bone marrow are blended together (butter melted in water at about 96 degrees, then combined with bone marrow that has been at room temperature for at least 12 hours) and massaged into the skin. He described doing this once a week to "neutrify" his skin, particularly after periods of exposure to injections or other toxic insults that were accelerating skin aging.

In a workshop context Aajonus recommended applying the Primal Facial Body Care Cream to a baby's bottom and the entire affected area when the infant was showing bumps or toxic skin reactions. He described these as "toxic, caustic substances leaving on her skin" and a sign of healthy detoxification, while recommending the cream to protect the tissue during the process.

While honey is an ingredient in the Primal Facial Body Care Cream in small quantities (1/4 teaspoon), Aajonus warned explicitly against applying honey to the skin in large amounts or for long periods without fat. He stated that thick honey left on the skin blocks the skin's ability to absorb oxygen and can cause anxiety, inability to breathe comfortably, and a claustrophobic, irritated sensation. He described awakening about three hours after applying honey to his face and being unable to breathe comfortably with his skin feeling claustrophobic. The small quantity of honey in the cream formula is specifically balanced by the large quantities of fat, which prevent this problem.

Aajonus noted with some humor that he gave the formula two different names in his book: the Moisturizing/Lubrication Formula designation for the internal drink, and "Primal Facial Body Care Cream" for the topical preparation. He explained: "I call it moisturizing because women love the word moisturizing. You can sell them a $30 bottle of moisturizing formula if you promise them it's going to bring their skin back to life." He was aware that the naming had a practical appeal function, while also being direct that the underlying mechanism is raw animal fat feeding living skin tissue, not any proprietary technology.

Aajonus was specific that while the cream protects, soothes, lubricates, and helps remove wrinkles, only substances containing stem cells can actually bring dead or severely damaged skin back to life. He positioned bone marrow (and to some extent sperm) as the only topical agents capable of true cellular regeneration. The cream in its original three-fat form "protects" and "revitalizes" the skin, but bone marrow is the active regenerative agent. This distinction led to his incorporating bone marrow into the updated formula.

He also noted that applying cream to the skin will not produce vitamin D synthesis; only butter or whole milk applied to the skin can be converted into vitamin D when combined with sun exposure. Cream applied topically does not serve this function.
