Guest guest Posted November 20, 1998 Report Share Posted November 20, 1998 Gang, Hey - I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me if any of the ingredients in my shaving lotion are carcinogenic - I use Skintastic ingredients: Purified water, Palmitic Acid, Triethanolamine, n-Pentane, Sorbitol, Sunflower Oil Monoglycerides, Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E USP), ALoe Vera, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Isobutane, Fragance, FD & C Red #40. The reason I ask - most products in lotions, creams etc have petroleum products in them, methylparaben, and benzene and toluene. These are all known irritants to those of us with autoimmune problems - yet when I went to several " health food stores " and to Edgar Cayce's site - their products contain all of these ingredients; i.e. petroleum products in them, methylparaben, and benzene and toluene. SOOOO where does that leave one? you know? Oh and BTW - Kiss My Face - which is supposedly a leading safe one - it has all these ingredients - made my face sting. So does anyone out there know of a website or a brand wherein lotions, oils (castor, jasmine) that doesn't carry these ingredients. Thanks, Jeannine Also the above was to inform all of you that these ingredients are harmful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Any hair conditioner is a great replacement for shaving cream. It softens the hair and your skin! I use an organic/all natural conditioner and it works great!

My skin is irritated so easily so it'd be nice to find something. +++Hi Mitch. Have you tried using a shaving brush and a mug like these: http://www.nashvilleknifeshop.com/shavingbrushes.html Then you can put any good natural soap in the mug, and use the brush to lather it up and apply it. That's what my Dad used to use. Back then our soap was homemade by my Mother. For soap check out Wilderness Family Naturals on my website: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/resource/wfn1.php Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
