I wanted to share a quick tip for those with sensitive skin. Even organic, all natural ingredients can cause irritation in certain people. Glycerin, lanolin, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, and wheatgerm oil have all been known to cause irritation.
If you have sensitive skin, try applying a small amount of product to your inner arm*, just below the elbow, and cover with a bandage for 24 hours. If any irritation occurs, avoid the ingredient.
*You can also dab product behind your ear to test for sensitivity.
