RE: propylene glycol advise please.

[Guest guest]

Shelley, I too have heard contradictory information about propylene

glycol and so am attentive to its presence in products I use. I don't

believe that a Begoun addresses the concern of sensitization

(when continued use of a product results in a new allergic

dermatitis), which is different from immediate irritation or

sensitivity. Despite all the rumors, most people agree with Begoun,

regarding propylene glycol as exceptionally safe and effective (on

normal skin).

For what it's worth, I've not noticed any correlation between

irritation or other dermatitis and propylene glycol on my very

sensitive skin. But I do look for the newer glycols such as butylene

glycol, which don't carry the same rumors.

Clinique make-up uses butylene glycol, so you may find a foundation

in their line that suits you. I'm sure other hypoallergenic non-

fragrance lines do as well.

but there is a foundation I want to try which is 70% water and the

2nd ingredient is propylene glycol. Have people's experiences with

this ingredient been ok? I do not mean to undermine what Dr Nase said

about this ingredient: I just wanted answers based on people's real

experiences with this ingredient. I would especially welcome replies

from people who are very sensitive to cosmetics and can use this

ingredient with no problem. I read a short piece on paula Begoun's

site recently www.cosmeticcop.com in which she claims that the

propylene glycol used in cosmetics is actually very safe and has not

been found to be irritating - she says that this ingredient has

undeservedly received a bad press in recent years mainly at the hands

of those pushing 'natural' products which can be just as harsh and

damaging to our skin as manmade ingredients.

My $0.02 worth is that (IMNSHO*)propylene glycol, **at the level normally

used in cosmetics**, does not cause problems to the vast majority of people.

However ceans are particularly sensitive so I'd be interested to read

any comments. As usual though, how can we tell whether it's the prop glycol

and not one of the 101 other ingredients?

I had been using metrocream for awhile with no adverse reactions. A new derm

insisted that metrogel " was better " . After several weeks of use I could no

longer stand the tight, painful, red and irritated skin using metrogel had

created. Even though there are more differences between the two topicals than

just propylene glycol I was lead to believe from posts from this group as

well as my PCP that propylene glycol was the culprit. Thanks
