We were talking to quite a few dermatologists at their conference this week for the first time. One concern they raised about natural products is there is more chance of an allergy to them. This is true of both natural foods and natural skin care. Some people are allergic to nuts, seafood or dairy, mangoes and other healthy foods. Virtually nobody is allergic to Cola and Jelly Beans. We do understand that doctors need to be very conservative. They don’t want anyone to have an allergic reaction from anything they have suggested. However just like natural foods, the benefits of natural actives compared to synthetic formulas for the vast majority of people with problem skin are worth it and much better for long term health, in our opinion. Over the years we have removed the more likely candidates of allergic reactions from our products, like most essential oils, Glycerine, Lavender etc. but it is still always worth patch testing both new foods and new natural skin care.
