People are finding the truth in aging and you as a Dr?? in the medical community, are not a happy campers. :-) Thank You for the info.I find it very odd that people would get upset when given information, and insight on something that could potentially be harmful.Dr. X, I have a chair in the corner for you because you need a time out.These are the same Doctors who use people like Lab Rats the moment a pharmaceutical company gives them free mugs and purple pens, only to push their drugs on unsuspecting patients so they can document the side effects that your sure to have.

And, paraben is found in nature (methyl paraben is in blueberries, and ALL the doctors, scientists, and marketing agents tell us to eat blueberries). But, snake venom and bacteria and yeast and mold are also found in nature, so apparently not everything that is natural is good for you. My primary concern with phenoxyethanol is the chance that during the ethoxylation process (as phenoxyethanol is made by reacting phenol with ethylene oxide), the phenoxyethanol may become contaminated with 1,4-dioxane. I think I'm going to start using products with parabens again as I'm starting to truly believe all the fear associated with parabens is just hype. I'm very anxious to hear the ingredients in this "natural" preservative system though. Phenoxyethanol is restricted in the US as well.

Do your own research. don't take one persons word for it. Go on Miessence certified organic products It will give you a list of side effects. Even if it is less than 1% in a product just think of the long term use plus other products that you use daily. it adds up and you absorb it into your skin. Doesn't matter if its hair products, facial and body lotions. Get this even in vaccines. So it all adds up. Mr. Aubrey with Aubrey Organics once said, (of this ingredient) " Instead of Quick KILL - Sloooow Kill" In Japan and European Union This ingredient is restricted.

I don't care who is wrong or right about preservatives. I can't bring myself to give a damn if you think a person is arrogant and ignorant for stating his or her opinion because like I said we need proof of what you're saying. I need cold, hard facts about this serious topic; I don't want to be running around in circles. If you have nothing useful to say, please take your battles somewhere else. It's not fair for you to waste my time with your petty fights and clearly it's rude for you to burden me with your open hostility and insulting attitude. I came here merely to get educated. I believe it's safe to say that many of us have had similar thoughts in mind. Is peace and a decorum so difficult to ask for?

Yes the FDA issued a warning about phenoxyethanol but it was to prevent infants from eating it. It wasn't a warning to avoid it in a skin care product. It is a harmless preservative - unless you eat it. Gasoline is harmful if you eat it too - but it's fine if you spill it on your skin. Thanks for the opportunity to comment on your material.

I beg to differ. What do they teach at the school you went to? That only things made and "manufactured" in a cold, sterile lab are what's good for the people? You are sadly in the dark about what is necessary to make good product. Of COURSE there are things out there that are really natural that can be manufactured for the masses. Large corp. would rather a large preservative filled bottom line than produce things that have a shorter shelf life and are still viable. DR. My best, Lynn Dr. X,

But if your just out and about then a good moistrizer with makeup will block the sun pretty nicley. Parkii- (shea butter) (every single skin cream in the world uses to different types of extracted shea butter in their creams.) is a natural sunblocker. So no you do not need all the Hype. sunglasses are the best. and i firmly believe If you spend the day in the hot blistering sun then YES! use a sun screen.

What would be the point? Skin needs consistancy to see results. as for a real natural product it can only last a couple of months left in the fridge. A pump should be used so you wont have to dip your fingers. besides that you should always wash your hands before washing your face. I use tretinoin 1% and i am looking for a gentle soothing moisturizing skin care set and i can never find thats in perfect balance in conjuction with tretinoin. IS THERE ONE? DO THEY EVEN EXIST? I tried it all ladies. 29. been a skin care lover since the age of 18. the only thing i can say is if you use a cold cream longer then a year then you must use it only a couple times a year.

Products without it will work but not nearly as good. People have been brushing their teeth with this preservative for years. If people are willing to get less results with out it so be it but active ingredients work much better with it in the delivery system.
