I developed rash while using this product. I really like it, but I am afraid to use it again? Anyone know where the rash is coming from i.e. certain ingredient?

The baking soda can cause an irritation, not necessarily a true allergy. It is a salt and being trapped in a moist warm sensitive area , can irritate whoever is prone to that. You may wanna try a baking soda-free one

I think it did the same thing for me, but I took I break and started again and now it is fine. Maybe try that

Have not used this product, but used coconut oil based homemade deodorant before and it made me break out...so i think coconut oil could be a culprit... just an idea

That can be several things - you could be allergic to one of the ingredients or if you (recently) shave your under arms it could cause a reaction, especially if you don't shave properly/carefully. I doubt it's the specific product though- it's very mild.

As far as i can tell the baking soda irritates some people, and this is apparently because baking soda reacts with the acidity in your blood/sweat etc. If you consume less acidic food & drink then maybe it wont irritate as much, but i am not claiming to be a doctor so i mean ask yours or do your own research, this is just what i remember on the topic. Also can try using less than a pea size amount, spread thin so to speak, and for me it works the same and i havent had any itch or rash.

I used it on my face with no problem as far as breakouts or any kind of adverse reaction. Problem I have with the product is that, even though I applied it AFTER washing my face in the morning, seems the evening face washing completely removed it. It never stayed- I might as well have been using a bronzing powder if it's just going to wash off!

you would have to inquire from the maker of this product . ive used for 45 years ! ive only had one precancerous spot taken off my face but never used the product on my face ... I certainly am not going to stop using it and use it on feet , hands , back of my arms and elbows ... knees ! after this long ... I should have developed something ,,, no irritations or reactions ever .

If you are getting bruises, then I would discontinue use immediately - you really want to be gentle to your face and may be using it a bit vigorously. The first time I used it, my face was a bit red but I may have been a little vigorous myself. Give your face a chance to heal and then maybe try it again as gently as possible. If you are still reacting, then either try a different soap, or maybe this just isn't the right product for you....??

I honestly can't say. I wasn't able to use it long enough to determine if it worked or not. It broke me out in a rash all over. Nothing has ever done that to me before but reading other reviews it seems common. Hope this helps.

Can't say that I have, and I have 2 dogs that have been on this for a few years now. In fact, I have seen a big difference in my dogs health since they have been on it. Sounds there is an ingredient(s) that your dog is allergic to? Might want to be careful with any product you buy until you find out what is causing the reaction?

umm... stop using it? lol Seriously though I've never had that problem. You might just be allergic to it. So stop using it.

I am honestly not sure. I've looked over ingredients and there shouldnt be anything that makes you break out, however I think the product made me breakout. I'm not 100% it was the product but I stopped using ut just in case. I was really excited about finally finding a pure/non-toxic tinted moisturizer and I dont want to waste it, so I will probably give it another try. Give it a shot!

Oh geez, no, myself and my husband and niece and brother all use it daily and have never had an issue with breaking out. Could be you are allergic to something in it?

Yes, it did for me after using for a few months. I'm sensitive and had to use coconut oil along with a very small amount of this or it gave me a rash. All was fine with my system until my armpits turned almost black (luckily that skin peeled off). Maybe my chemistry changed? Needless to say, I no longer use this product, but I did like it before this episode (I use coconut oil by itself now). I wouldn't have qualms recommending it to someone else to see if it works for them.

Absolutely not. I had no adverse reaction(s) at all. Perhaps Richard was wearing an aftershave that didn't work well with it or used something on his face that was new and didn't agree with him or other variables. It is my belief that if you follow the instructions you can't get itchy and/or red. I think that perhaps something is missing from this equation that we don't know about.

Some companies have whipped up the idea that this is a bad ingredient. I would like to refer you to a website. Wellnessresearches.com on the subject. this should be informative. As far as the actual product goes...I love it.

Hi Sharon,I don't think you should use it on your face. It says a rash may occur when used on sensitive skin when used on the face. Also, if you go out in the sun it has a sunburn alert. Hope this helps you.Jon

Hi Pam..I tried this product for the first time @2 years ago. I was thrilled and ordered two more. It worked nicely to smooth and give some lift..BUT, then I read an article about Sodium Benzoate which is at the bottom of the ingredient list for this Serum. My half used bottle and full new bottle are now sitting untouched. Apparently, according to several websites, this ingredient is toxic to the liver. It is in a lot of make-up and shampoo products. This is totally your choice as to what to do now.

I have never experienced any burning. Actually it has a cool sensation when applied. I would not continue using if it's burning. You may be having a reaction to the product. Or maybe you have break in the skin in that area?

I personally would not use it on the face due to the sensitive nature of my skin on my face. This product causes redness and a rash, not something I want to show on my face.

So this is an anti-caking agent. I have a face cream with this ingredient in it and I freaked when I saw it. But I did some research and found that it's actually pretty safe. I know the name looks scary. I love EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetic Database to look up products and ingredients that I'm concerned about. Here's the info on magnesium aluminum silicate:http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredient/703679/MAGNESIUM_ALUMINUM_SILICATE/Also this whole product scored really well for safety, too. (Low numbers are GOOD! High number as Bad) This belly butter is a 2. It's a good one.http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/product/596295/Burt%27s_Bees_Mama_Bee_Belly_Butter/ So this is an anti-caking agent.
