The first sentence is basically saying that "they" are blunt and direct to others in a very truthful way. I'm hesitant to say "brutally honest" though because I think "deliberate, straight-forward, and honest in nature" is not quite as strong as that. Just very direct.

The second part... I need some more context for that, though it looks like you might be talking about Bastet. If that's the case, it seems that, according to wikipedia, Bastet was associated with protective ointments or topical products/lotions.
