Survey: Benzoin in a lotion? Pros and cons

[Guest guest]

I spoke with someone who wants to make a lotion with benzoin in

it. Benzoin has been used for thousands of years to treat skin

conditions. In fact, it's found in the medical

pharmacopeia***http://tinyurl.com/6sumbk9

*Then IFRA and the bad science of the Scandanavian dermatologists

and their bureaucratic successors put the kibosh on the use of

benzoin by labeling it as strongly sensitizing.**BTW, I find the

IFRA site annoying and illogical. Plus, the pages I had

bookmarked to quickly access information on the restricted and

prohibited essences now comes up " page not found " . I ignore

IFRA, so I'm not going to dig deeper.

About the benzoin in the lotion - what do you say? Do you use

benzoin in leave-on products? *
