You wouldnt want to get it on the skin as it will clog the pores and interfere with the sterols in the skin that create D3 synthesis.
That having been said, there has been no evidence it leads to pyramiding but clogging the keratin on the shell may lead to rot and create probs with thermoregulation.
Hope this helps,

: I have heard different things. Do I need to use shell conditioner for their shells?
