Highly flammable skin creams linked to dozens of deaths

BBC Radio 4 - Radio 4 in Four, The highly flammable skin creams linked to dozens of deaths


See what you think of the above article, It's about 5 minutes long.

I found it interesting as my aunt uses concentrated oxygen. It came with warnings
not to use any lotions creams etc with paraffin, petroleum, parabin based products.
The concentrated oxygen molecules can linger in clothing and bedding for up to half
an hour even with the oxygen turned off. She doesn't smoke but we were told that
just static can scorch the skin.


It's really hard to find cheap parabin free, stuff.

So I've had to resort to the higher end expensive names to find suitable products for her.
I have to say though that the parabin free products are really nice and seem much
better on the skin! Plus they seem to last much longer. I'm now a convert myself!

The one I'm really into at the moment is Neom organics.

not long ago, my doctor gave me several creams for 'inflamation', which I didn't ask for,
but was grateful for, but I already knew that they were just 'samples' that he knew
absolutely nothing about...into the garbage they went, pronto!!!

we do our 'own-God-thing', after many years of 'trials and errors',... praise God!!!...

That's awful! The skin is our largest organ. It's like a sponge, everything we put it on it gets absorbed. I use 100% pure coconut oil.

I use coconut oil too and also olive oil.

But I do have some products that aren't healthy. I probably need to look closer at what I do have.

you really need to be advised and very careful in the 'olive-oil' that you use...

it should always be in a 'dark-bottle', and NOT of multiple countries, and should have
a 'date' when packed. and this is very important, when you OPEN the Bottle, it should
always have a 'fruity' smell to it - if it does not have this smell, then it is more than likely just
generic-vegetable oil...sad but TRUE...

And to preserve the oil, squeeze a capsule of vitamin E into the bottle. Or better yet, a few drops of Mirror EPF.

Into the olive oil?

I just listened to the clip. Wow. Everyday I hear more and more about health/beauty products that people use, trusting in companies who create/sell them, when in reality, most of these products are junk/hazardous to your body. This is why it is so important to be educated.

Did you know parabens have been found in breast tumors? Estrogen exposure is linked to breast cancer. Parabens mimic estrogen. Why take the chance, especially if breast cancer already runs in your family, by continuing to use paraben-full products?

I use Arbonne for all of my health/beauty needs. 100% Vegan. 100% Organic. Gluten-Free. Cruelty-Free. Drug-Free. Kosher Certified. Hypoallergenic. NO PARABENS, dyes, waxes, acetone, formaldehyde, phthalates, mineral oil, chemical fragrances, toluene, petroleum, PABA, animal products/by-products etc. This company falls under the stricter guidelines of the EU Cosmetics Directive so I don't have to count on the FDA for anything. For anyone looking to make a healthy change, I highly recommend this company.
