I'm confused as to why it contains PABA - I'm told to buy PABA free sunblock, so why would I give it orally to my child?

this is from WebMD: Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is a chemical found in the folic acid vitamin and also in several foods including grains, eggs, milk, and meat. PABA is taken by mouth for skin conditions including vitiligo, pemphigus, dermatomyositis, morphea, lymphoblastoma cutis, Peyronie's disease, and scleroderma. I would say then that this is not harmful to eat and I don't know why you are told not to put it on skin... Hope that helps.

If you go on the pedia smart website I believe they give you the answerto that question. It has to do with high protein or something and they want to make sure your child doesn't have any problems with that. It was very informative.Then you will be sure it's right for your child.

Not sure. I would recommend that you contact the company to answer this question, though we had put our son on a gluten free diet for a little while and he continued to take DA. It didn't affect him either way. Let me know what you find out. I'm curious.Good luck, Donna C

I purchased this specific product offered by Roche-Posay--I use the EWG web site Skin Deep with its database and rating system to check every sunscreen/sunblock product I use so that I can tell if it contains safe (or perhaps safer) chemicals, but is effective. Use this web site and you will be able to check the ingredients and see its rating.

That is just a sunblock. The title is wrong, it's not a moisturizer and sun screen. It's just sunscreen. See the actual product packaging. That one is also thicker in consistency if I remember correctly.

Hi IA,I can honestly say that it does not contain mercury as I use it and improves my face rather than the opposite which mercury will do to my face if I use it. Also the only way it contains mercury is if it's COUNTERFEIT. So as long as you be careful at who you buy it from, it is perfectly safe.

Just double checked the meaning of some of the ingredients. apparently parts do come from a type of shellfish. Even though I have allergies to some shellfish I have never had a reaction to the ones in Move Free. I am pretty sure there are a couple plant based joint supplements out there, you will have to do a little research or check with a health food store or natural herb store.

Everything I have read says that this isn't really for human consumption. It is also a powerful anti-microbial, and insecticide and fungicide. I suspect you shouldn't allow your child to consume it. I'm sure there are other remedies that are less dangerous.

He probably did read the description, but ingredients of health products are often hidden,faulty and/or misleading which can be very dangerous for some consumers. If he didn't, it's very likely he cannot see well, has a cognitive problem or is unable to research it on his own for a myriad of reasons. So, he was asking "owners" to get their bottles out and verify the source that's indicated there. Amazon Questions about products are not random YAHOO QUESTIONS from kids who have no one to talk to.

I found this blog very interesting... It may help clarify it for you!!! That's why I ask if there is a supplemental nutrition fact on the back... If you can't ingest it then it's loaded with other chemicals... And that's how they can sell it so cheap... Hope this helps!!!http://aromatherapy4u.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/how-to-quickly-tell-if-an-essential-oil-can-be-ingested/

I kind of suspected it is broad spectrum. The ingredients list is written in Japanese, so I can't read it. But the SPF50 and PA+++ rating show both UV B and UV A protection, respectively. So, I guess, this sunscreen gives broad spectrum coverage.

I don't remember what they are because I got it, opened it, my two boys and I each took a whiff, and they refused to try it. I tried it once to see how bad it was - it would have to give eternal life before I would drink it regularly. Awful. Let's face it: it doesn't matter how healthy it is, if you can't or don't get it in, you don't get anything from it. I've used Synaptol with success - mix the serving size in a mall amount of water (so that it doesn't coat the glass and short change me on the dosages).

I've checked the Neutrogena website religiously & can't find this product, nor can I find it anywhere else. It didn't show up on their site last yr either; so last yr I found a few bottles here on Amazon & bought them. Think I paid about $12.99 each, high but still worth it to me. Before I placed my order last yr I asked the seller for the expiration dates & the seller gave me dates of 2/14 & 5/15. When I got my order, those dates were correct & clearly marked on the bottles. I also haven't been able to find this item in stores for over2+ years; so my assumption is that it's discontinued. Too bad as it's the only sunscreen that didnt cause a reaction on my face. For me, the price listed here is too high. as it used to sell for the standard sunscreen price of between $7.99 - $9.99 a bottle. The fact that it doesn't contain any chemical sun blockers isn't what's causing this price of $21.99. It's the fact that u can't find it anywhere, combined w/the seller hoping a person will pay this price. (Hey, it's a free market). Last yr I noticed CVS had their own brand of this & the ingredients were similar, but not identical. Today I've just searched extensively online & still can't find this Neutrogena item (except here on Amazon); so I'll head 2 my local CVS & see if they still sell their genetic version.

There is nothing harmful in it. It is all natural. My son has sensitive skin and it doesn't bother him.

It is very mild and free of many ingredients found in other products. None of our three kids ever had a problem but you will have to see for yourself. It is worth a try. Take care.

Considering that Baby Einstein has already had a toy recalled for toxic levels of lead (blue block in their Discover & Play Color Blocks), even if they aren't listing the toxins in their toys directly, they are a suspect company. One boy was suspected of being poisoned by these blocks when no other lead-containing items were found in the house. Besides, lead, PVC, and BPA (which you probably get more from in canned foods anyway) aren't the only toxins in toys and other household objects. Many have toxic levels of antimony, bromine, barium (Melissa & Doug has had two recalls in Canada for this), cadmium, arsenic and mercury. I mostly deny my kids the pleasure of putting any toys in their mouths excessively, but if you want to feel a bit safer about toys, try plugging individual toys/companies into HealthyToys.org or www.goodguide.com. You'll get a better feel for who has repeat offenses. I wouldn't trust anything a manufacturer tells you anyway. They have no intention of pulling dangerous toys or disclosing information unless they're forced to by law. Saying that, we own this toy, as it was gifted before we knew what we know now. The kids love to dance to it. I consider it hazardous for the kids to put in their mouths. I imagine it's not doing a lot of damage just being held. And it does play pleasing music :)

Pretty sure that there is no sunblock in this. It seems to be mostly a moisturizer. I expect, just using this, you would get a sunburn if you were not already tan.
