Best Anti-Inflamatory Topical-Tom

July 27, 2002

Tom...

As with some of the others on this board, I'm not sure that my use of

BHA didn't aggravate a mild case of cea but I thought I'd send

the ingredients for a Begoun's brand: a's Choice. She seems

to be in favor of using BHA with cea. I'm not sure I trust her

judgements on all things, however, after using her books for years.

Anyway, here are the ingredients:

Water, Butylene Glycol, PPG-14 Butyl Ether, Salicylic Acid (1%),

PVM/MA Decadiene Crosspolymer, PEG-40 Stearate, Sorbitan, Stearate,

Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, olidinyl Urea, Acrylamides

Copolymer, Dimethiconol, Allantoin, Bisabolol, Sodium Hydroxide. I'm

not sure how " innocuous " these are. It is really reasonably priced.

And, she has trial sizes.
