Here is a list of ingredients
I inquired as to the ingredients on the Avene Hand crème.
Here they are:
Spring water
glycerin
cetearyl alcohol
laurate
mineral oil
cetyl alocohol aluminuim surcrose
octasulfate
beeswax
c20-40
pareth-10
glyceryl stearate
methylparaben
paraffin
phoenoxyethanol
propylparaben
sodium cetearyl sulfate
sodium hydroxide
trietanlamine
I am concerned about the parabens, paraffin, mineral oil.
I rate Beebalm and Basil's Rosa y sol lotion a glowing 5. I LOVE it. I have tried many expensive spa products, usually imported from Europe and triple the price of Rosa y sol, and have to say that this lotion competes with the best of them. I particularly like the fact that there are no synthetics in it. I use it on my face and I've found that(particularly in the winter when I typically have problems), my skin ishydrated, smooth and soft. As an added bonus, I love the smell, whichis predominantly palmerosa essential oil, good for the skin! I buythis product at Planet Botanix, 911 Bank Street in Ottawa (in theGlebe).
