I found one I thought was safe from Everyday Shea. Here are the ingredients: Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) Extract (aqueous), Shea Leaf (Butyrospermum parkii) Extract (aqueous), Handcrafted Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii) **Certified Fair Trade**, Vegetable Emulsifying Wax, Palm Stearic Acid, Red Palm Oil (Elaeis guineensis), Essential Oils (scented versions only), Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Limonene, Ascorbic Acid Are any of these toxic? I read that the phenoxyethanol can be toxic, but then I also read it's safe. Thanks for any suggestions. |

I have used for the last ten years products such as retin-A, skinceuticals, skinMedica, neocutis and other physician-sold products. I have hundreds/thousands of dollars of these products and I switch all around not knowing what really works. Your science makes sense to me but I can't justify wasting all that money. Can these products be combined with yours or would there be contraindications. Do you believe there are beneficial ingredients in these products and could I use them with yours until they are gone (and how)? |
