To: Ike Rhee regarding lotions that do not irritate
Ike,
You mentioned breaking out in hives when using Cetaphil Moisturizing
Lotion. Maybe it’s the macadamia nut oil? Most of the other
ingredients are emulsifiers and humectants (moisturizing agents), and
usually those aren’t bothersome. I use Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
(not lotion) and it has similar ingredients to lotion but it contains
sweet almond oil instead of macadamia nut oil. There is also Eucerin
Cream but it’s very greasy. I tried plain Cold Cream that comes in a
big jar for cheap - you have to ask pharmacist because for some
reason they keep it behind counter. It’s just an unscented emollient
with no added frilly irritants, as basic as you can get. Hope this
helps. Darice
