[Guest guest]

Hi

Welcome! I'd like to know more about this issue, and I'm hoping

others will comment on your concerns, too. Can you direct us to your

information on parabens in GSE?

take care

round of questions for you all.

concerned with the GSE issue. GSE is SUPPOSEDLY pure, and I know

soapmakers who think they can use it as an all natural preservative.

However, in analysis, done by cosemetic chemist, the GSE has been

contaminated with parabens (methlyparaben, isoparben, etc) and I'm

not so sure these are healthy internally.

as they are known dermal irritants.

> PS Grapefruits rot don't they?........so how could they preserve

anything? lol

reading the files.
