Christell Mc Cabe – Hair, wound and skin conditioning ointments
Wound Warrior products were born in the same year that I received chemo (2021 – Large BCell lymphoma 5% chance to survive). The reason behind selling Wound Warrior’s products at the market on Saturdays is to draw others closer to God by informing them of His miraculous work and reminding them that He is still actively involved in our lives and hearing our prayers. Wound Warrior is His business. I fully rely on and trust in His timing and favour for the growth He wish to instil on this business. My locally produced products are: All About Hair (hair growth & healthy scalp); Wound Warrior’s three variants beeswax ointments (wounds & skin conditions) and lip balm. Phyto-Unique are for aches and pains but this I purchase and resell. The reason this product forms part of the available products is because I started using it during my 6 months chemo.
