Re: natural aqueous cream

[Guest guest]

sorry about the delay in replying. you might think i'm nuts but, when I

checked the ingredients for the chemist's (pharmacy) aqueous cream, I

noticed it had some 'sodium laurel sulphate!! exactly the stuff I don't want

on my skin, later, in the bathroom I re-read the ingredients of my, wait for

it, conditioner, (Utekaram, a Danish company) I noticed it was simply a mix

of - water, (organic marigold aqueous extracts), coconut oil, wheat bran,

organic apricot kernel oil, sheanut butter, vegetable glycerine and citric

acid. nothing else!!! other than the wheat bran, what was that product if

not aqueous cream!! so I added some essential oils like rosemary and

lavender and there ya go... I've been washing my self with this stuff on a

wet loofa, face, body and all, no need for body lotion.

if you can't get this product in the US just keep on reading the ingredients

on conditioners in Healthfood shops etc. till you find one with the least

ingredients to match your needs.

hope this helps.
