It's a product:

I haven't noticed any claim that it's organic, so I doubt it.
In my case dehydration apparently didn't have much to do with my dry skin because I'm no more hydrated than I was but there is dramatically less of the dry, flaky skin. So it may not be productive to jump to such conclusions without also testing alternative possibilities.
I remained open minded and tested many possibilities, even when people criticized it (well meaningly) and advised otherwise. I stuck with an experimental approach, partially guided by the experience of hunter gatherers, Aajonus and fellow RPDers, and persistence in it seems to have paid off, finally.
Of course, it's possible to engage in foolish and dangerous experiments, so I try to research alternatives before I try them to avoid pitfalls and enhance the chances for success. It was only after seeing multiple hunter gatherer societies gorging on wild honey and reading that it was the favorite food of the Hadza and others that I decided to try a wide variety of different honeys and see if I could find one that I could handle well. It didn't make sense to me that the favorite food of HGs would be seriously damaging, like modern "experts" claim. I could imagine that eating lots of it year-round might have some negative effects, and I even wondered whether too much intake might be contributing to AV's hair loss, but my guess was that moderate intake might be beneficial. My reading of the beneficial experiments of Aajonus, Brady and others spurred me on even though my early results were poor. HG societies had never steered me wrong, that I can recall, so I figured that there probably was something to raw, wild honey, but I didn't know quite what. I was mainly interested to see if it might help with regards to my underweight or constipation. Instead, the main benefit was in the skin, which makes sense in retrospect but I wasn't expecting it. That's often how the greatest breakthroughs occur--by accident while trying to achieve something else.
One thing I noticed is that there was some gradual, mild increase again of dry skin after the initial great reduction of it with VLC and ZC. I suspect that the fungi or whatever it was adapted and started to regrow somewhat--maybe the fungi that could survive fat better started to repopulate to a certain extent. Whatever the cause of that, time will tell whether the honey will bring about permanent elimination or just significant reduction.
There is one counter-evidence to the fungal hypothesis: I had also tried topical antifungal products like coconut oil, tea tree oil, pine tar, etc. with no noticeable improvement. However, maybe consuming an antifungal is more effective for me than topical use? On the other hand, consuming coconut oil didn't produce positive results (though I wasn't able to handle much at one time and it became so nauseating to me that I had to give it up) and fermented honey worked while unfermented didn't appear to. So maybe the fermentation of the honey is key somehow? It's still somewhat of a puzzle.
