INGREDIENT REVIEW :: Body Butters & Creams Treat your skin to a soothing and hydrating body butter for soft, supple skin that radiates and smells great! Body butters can be used about anywhere that needs some extra moisture. They are also great addition to your bath for a warm buttery soak! Make sure you read the labels first and avoid the synthetic fragrances and other toxic chemicals. Conventional lotions are basically a mixture of water and oil, with an emulsifier added to keep the product from separating. PEG is the most common emulsifier in hand lotions and it can be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane (a carcinogen).  Common ingredients include triethanolamine, petrolatum, polysorbate-20, propylene glycol (a neurotoxin and skin sensitizer), lecithin, tocophery acetate, synthetic fragrances and FD&C colors (made from coal and have been found to cause cancer in animals and many people experience allergic reactions like skin irritation and contact dermatitis).  TEA (a skin sensitizer and cause of contact dermatitis), DMDM hydantoin and quaternium-15 are often used can release carcinogenic formaldehyde. Hormone disrupting parabens are commonly used as preservatives. Lanolin (an animal product) is often found in lotions and can be contaminated with pesticides and some people are sensitive to it.   Many commercial body butters and creams can contain a variety of toxic and potentially harmful ingredients which may result in eye and skin irritations, allergic reactions and skin rashes ... Some ingredients are even known to cause cancer or other serious health conditions!   How Safe Are Your Body Moisturizers?  Commercial Body Moisturizers - Toxic Ingredient Review Quite often, manufacturers use the least expensive products available without concerning thoughts about potential health risks to consumers ...
