RE: Gold Bond: Profile of an Enigma

Posted July 15, 2002 · July 15, 2002

Jillian, see post #37960 from April 24th of this year, for a listing

and comparison of the various Gold Bond preparations. It doesn't look

like it's for you, as I don't see sulfur listed anywhere and their

only non-menthol lotion has oatmeal. But others in the thread may

find this helpful:

" (note that the ingredients are listed alphabetically):

Extra strength Gold Bond lotion (green bottle, red cap):

Active Ingredients: contains: Dimethicone (5 %), Menthol (0.50 %)

Inactive Ingredients: Aloe Vera Gel, Cetyl Alcohol, olidinyl

Urea, Distearlydimonium Chloride, Emulsifying Wax, Fragrance,

Glycerin, Iodopropyl Butylcarbamate, Petrolatum, Stearamidopropyl PG-

dimonium Chloride Phosphate, Steareth-2, Steareth-21, Stearyl

Alcohol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triethanolamine, Water

It looks like a protective, moisturizing water-based lotion. It

differs from the regular strength (gold bottle, red cap) by a lower

concentration of menthol (0.15%), and from the sensitive fomulation

(white bottle, red cap) by the absense of menthol and fragrance, and

addition of oatmeal, BHT and paraben preservatives, and propylene

glycol. "

Regarding Gold Bond's maximum strength anti-itch:

Active Ingredients: Menthol (1.0%), Pramoxine Hydrochloride (1.0%)

Inactive Ingredients: Aloe Vera Gel, olidinyl Urea, Disodium

EDTA, Eucalyptol, Iodopropyl Butylcarbamate, Methyl Salicylate,

Petrolatum, PPG-1 Trideceth-6, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Acrylates

Copolymer, Steareth-2, Steareth-21, Stearyl Alcohol, Thymol,

Tocopheryl Acetate, Triethanolamine, Water

The anti-itch is a significantly different formulation. It includes

the active ingredient pramoxine hydrochloride (a common OTC non-

steroidal anti-itch) and the menthol is *twice* as strong as the

extra strength lotion. The carrier includes eucalyptol, methyl

salicylate, propylene glycol, thymol, but contains no fragrance,

cetyl alcohol, or glycerine, among other ingredients added and

deleted.

Hope that helps. I don't know the percentage of sulfur is in the

rosacea-ltd discs, but that's non-prescription.

Posted July 15, 2002 · July 15, 2002

To clarify, both of the cea Ltd. Discs contain sulfur, not

just the yellow one. To be precise, here are the ingredients

in the order listed:

The Light Tan disc contains:

zinc oxide, sodium chloride, sulfur, iron oxide, copper oxide,

magnesium sterate, polyethelene gylcol

The Yellow/White disc contains:

zinc oxide, sodium chloride, sulfur, magnesium sterate,

polyethelene gylcol

Therefore, the only difference is the iron and copper oxides.

I suspect that the yellow/white disc may contain more of the

other ingredients, due to them being both exactly the same size.

I would also suspect that the yellow/white does indeed contain

a higher concentration of sulfur.

For me, I mainly use the yellow/white disc now as I respond

better to it. No bumps, on the contrary, my face has not been

this smooth since my battle with the papules/postules began this

past February. They are ALL gone from my forehead, and all gone

from my cheeks (my only cea affected areas). What I am trying

to figure out now is a way to make the scarring from the bigger

papules/postules disappear. They seem to be fading, but ever so

slowly - but hey, at least they're fading!

Gotta luv the discs.

As always, just my humble opinion.

Gold Bond: Profile of an Enigma

Hey all –

Being a sulfur-based medication neophyte, I have been left on the

sidelines as a sometimes passionate debate raged all about me.

I have read the posts, perused the archives and the highlights, all

in search of the pros and cons of sulfur. Dr. Nase mentioned in an

earlier post (of which the main topic was cea Ltd.) that most

skin with papules and pustules – which I still am prone to – responds

wonderfully to topicals with a concentration of .5% to 2% sulfur in

them. And many of you have indicated that it is (am I wrong in

stating this?) the sulfur component in Gold Bond

lotions/creams/whatever that has helped your skin. I also gleaned

from Dr. Nase's post that concentrations of 5% to 10% sulfur can be

counterproductive, and actually stimulate vasodilatation. And then

some users of the Ltd. disc have posted their hypothesis that the

yellow (sulfur containing) disc actually causes facial bumps, so I

have been confused…

I've been intrigued by the little Gold Bond soap opera which has been

played out in almost daily installments on our board; intrigued to

the point where I decided to seek out a little yellow red-capped

bugger to call my very own and take him out on a test drive. So

during my lunch hour today, heart thumping in anticipation, I trotted

into a nearby Eckerd's in quest of this most (recently, at least)

controversial and enigmatic of potions.

To my utter chagrin, I discovered that all the little yellow tubes

and bottles of Gold Bond contain menthol, which my face cannot

tolerate in any way, shape, or form. I considered buying a few of

them anyway, for a `spot test' to see if a miraculous decrease on my

sensitivity meter had transpired. Alas, an extended noon-time frolic

at a salad bar had left me unable to stand in line behind a lady

sporting what had to be 75 cans of assorted cat foods and a

fragrantly incontinent toddler in her shopping buggy.

Back in front of a computer, I hopped onto the Internet in search of…

" More than a Powder... It's Medication! " -- http://www.4goldbond.com

One plugged into the tackily put together Gold Bond website (dig the

little animated Gold Bond container, pirouetting clumsily like a leg

less ballerina, in the left-hand corner of the site) I was unable to

determine if any Gold Bond products are bereft of menthol. I did

find out, however, that the purveyors of Gold Bond hand out thrilling

free gifts, like Gold Bond T-Shirts, to random people who send them

glowing testimonials, much filled with exclamation points. Are you

listening, Mike?!!

Goose-bumped and giddy, I clicked on the " FAQ " button to find the

answers to the five (5) most frequently asked questions of Gold Bond.

This is the fifth most FAQ:

Q: Do you have T-Shirts available for sale?

A: Yes. Please check out the GB WeaR™ section on this website.

Official Gold Bond® merchandise can be ordered via mail-in order form.

So while I wait for my Gold Bond T-Shirt to pirouette gaily into my

life, do you guys have any suggestions for a non-menthol, .5% to 2%

sulfur topical that I can buy over the counter? I also can't

tolerate oatmeal-based stuff, or cornstarch. Any suggestions are

welcome, as usual.
