More and more people are suffering from allergies and sensitive skin. However, most cosmetic products, even very expensive ones, contain harsh ingredients. If you cannot afford fragrance-free products from Clinique you might try the following brands: Ivory soap (cheap but good), Almay cosmetics, Cetaphil moisturizers and hair care products from Earth Science. One of the most irritating chemical ingredients is SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate). Many manufacturers use SLS because it produdes foam very inexpensively. SLS can cause eye irritations, skin irritations, canker sores and other skin conditions. Surprisingly, this compound is also found in shampoos, soaps, and toothpastes. Make sure you avoid SLS. Toothpastes like Rembrandt for Canker Sore Sufferers and Dr. Burt's Bees toothpastes don't contain SLS. Good luck and get better soon!
