  1. i did not know that but you can never be really sure about what goes into these products
  2. No they are meant to slow it down or to keep the body/skin from aging.
  3. I use axle grease on my face and I haven't seen a wrinkle in ages.
  4. i use Equate Moisturizing Lotion (is at Walmart and compares itself to Cetaphil moisturizing lotion). I checked and I don't think that it contains those bad ingredients, plus it's cheap! You could also use Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which I use more often than the store bought moisturizer because it is all natural and has antioxidants in it :-) *Wow I just think it's horrible how companies make products that actually make your condition whose than better so you'll keep buying it.
  5. There's a lot of controversy over this ingredient. Some say there's no problem using this ingredient, others say it's really bad for you. In the US, the only products you can get without this ingredient are strictly organic and then you run the risk of your product going back with mold. Because of the controversy of this ingredient, I have started using a product that has less then 0.5% of this preservative in them. Every new product that they introduce is paraben free and they have taken the parabens out of their aromatherapy and baby lines. They are also in the process of removing parabens from every other line they have-it's just going to take some time to make this happen. The products are currently available in the US, Cananda, Australia and the UK. Let me know if you would like more information about these products.
