Parabens

[OakLeaf]

I don't know why reading labels should be perceived as "stressing."

I read the labels for any processed food I buy, and generally buy the most minimally processed foods. Why shouldn't people do the same with cosmetics? In reality, I already read the labels for irritants like some alcohols, and petroleum products. To me, reading labels isn't a bit stressful; it's kind of interesting, really.

(And FWIW, I finished the end of my tube of Chamois Butt'r - I just won't buy any more.)



ETA: in fact, the externally imposed stress and the possible health effects of that is one of the major reasons I'm not taking the doctors' route.
