I imagine most people aren’t aware of what exactly is in the products they are using on a daily basis.  It is important to find that out and avoid ingredients that may cause irritation and allergies. Even after using a product for many years your skin can react to it without you realizing that the ingredients could be the problem. Some ‚natural‘ products can also cause an allergic reaction.

Here are some of the ingredients that you should avoid:

Preservatives: Benzoic acid, Methylparaben, Ethylbaraben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben and many more.

Mineral oils: Mineral oil, Petrolatum (vaseline), Paraffinum-liquidum, Paraffinum Subliquidum, Cera Mocrocristallina, Microcrystaline wax, Ozokerit, Ceresin

Ingredients derived from dead animals.

Perfumes, fragrances and ethereal oils.

If in doubt stop using the product and find an alternative. Here are some suggestions
