"Most people have a few of these lying around somewhere to treat dry cracked lips. Guess who makes this brand?……Pfizer! Some drugs are much more potent when they are absorbed through the skin vs. taken orally. That’s because they bypass the digestive system, and go right into the blood stream." [1188x570 - 96KB]

That shit contains "propylene glycol"

Look it up.

Propylene glycol is in tons of personal care items, like your shampoo, soap, moisturizer, deodorant, and toothpaste. You can even find it in your food and medicine. However, even though it’s a widely used chemical, a lot of people are wary of it.

Propylene glycol acts as a penetration-enhancing agent. It alters the structure of the skin, allowing chemicals to penetrate deeply while increasing their ability to reach the bloodstream.

Basically, its main job is to help other chemicals you come in contact with reach your bloodstream. But do you really want to use a chemical designed to do that?

Additionally, the chemical has been linked to cancer, developmental/reproductive issues, allergies/immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, endocrine disruption, and organ system toxicity.

It has also been classified as “expected to be toxic or harmful” by Environment Canada.

I use plain lanolin. A lot of the 'lipgloss' / chapstick have irritants in them to keep your lips dry so you keep using them. I have health issues that dry my skin and it is amazing the crap that goes into any moisturizer. Most of them have petroleum products which amazes me anyone would use.

I've never worn makeup and although I get a lot of crap for it, I'm also told 'I don't know how your skin looks so amazing at your age!' while the next thing out of thier mouths is 'with some makeup, you'd look so much better.'
