Re: Hair care products and Gum chewing....

[Guest guest]

I have problems with all manner of hair products,

cosmetics, creams, and perfumes that contain

hydrolyzed wheat protein, wheat germ oil, and/or grain

alcohol. They cause flushing often, and breakouts

consistently.

Suzi, I also react to hair care products. I have

switched to SunDog Hemp shampoo and conditioner. It's

very mild and unscented. You can find it in health

food stores.

Hi,

I have problems with breakouts and irritation from shampoos and

conditioners too. For me, wheat derivatives aren't a problem. I

believe I used one in one of the shampoos I tried (I think it was

Kiehls) and it didn't irritate my face. Unfortunately, it dried out

my hair so I don't use if anymore.

I found a little paragraph from a Begoun, at

http://www.cosmeticscop.com that talks about this problem. The

problem with avoiding these ingredients is that they are in every

conditioner I've seen. I even looked at conditioners sold at health

food stores and every single one of the oil-free had cetyl alcohol in

them which is a problem for me. (In oil-free solutions, I think the

cetyl alcohol, which is a fatty form, provides the moisture.) I have

found some conditioners that use mineral oil or petrolatum and don't

have cetyl alcohol, but they make my face break out and become

irritated.I use Dr. Sy's Vita Oil as a hair conditioner. I did try

some anti-frizzing solutions which are pure dimethicone. They didn't

irritate my skin at all. However, they didn't condition my hair too

much.

Breakouts Along the Hairline

If you've been having problems with breakouts along your hairline,

you need to be sure you're not having problems with your shampoo or

conditioner. Change to a shampoo with no conditioning agents (such as

protein, silicone, quaternium, or polyquaternium) or thickening

agents (such as cetyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol), and use only the

smallest amount of conditioner on the ends. Do this for a few days

and see what happens. If the breakouts seem to be clearing up, you'll

know you were using products that were too emollient for your scalp.

Also, be sure the styling products you're using, especially hair

sprays, gels, and mousses, aren't coming into contact with your skin.

Styling products are a sure way to encourage breakouts, as the film-

forming ingredients are great pore cloggers!

Take care,

Matija

Matija, have you ever tried Aubrey Organics products at

http://www.aubrey-organics.com/? They are also sold, at least in New Jersey, at

health food stores. They have very few irritating ingredients. For example,

their Honeysuckle Rose Hair and Scalp Conditioner lists these ingredients:

Aubrey's Coconut Fatty Acid Base, Chrysanthemum, , Mosqueta® Rose

Hip Seed Oil, Honeysuckle Oil, Forsythia Fruit, Magnolia Blossoms, Camomile Oil,

Horsetail, Coltsfoot, Ginkgo Leaf, Ginseng Root, Rosemary Oil, Sage Oil,

Aubrey's Preservative (Citrus Seed Extract, Vitamins A, C and E). There is no

cetyl alcohol.

I have never tried their conditioners. I have tried many of their shampoos,

however, as the Web site sells trial sizes, and found every one of them to be

non-irritating to my skin, but also to dry out my hair terribly. I have several

friends, though, who swear by their products and for some reason the shampoos

have not dried out their hair. It might be worth a try if you're still looking

for a conditioner.
