Guest guest Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 I know Dr Nase has warned against propylene glycol in facial care 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. Can any one recommend any gentle foundations apart from Jane Iredale or anything with fragrance? Thanks. Please reply. ShellGet more from the Web.
