Allergic to Beeswax Chafe cream?

[zoom-zoom]

I don't know if it's an allergy...but I tried Bliss, the women's version of DZNuts and there is something in it that made my hind-portions uncomfortably warm for hours afterwards, even after showering. At first I thought it was the tea-tree oil, but I have since tried other products with TTO and no issue.

I would try a different anti-chafe product and see if you still have issues. You may be able to narrow it down to an ingredient or two causing your discomfort.

I used to use Burt's Bees lip balm several times a day for years, I loved it. I suddenly got allergic to it- lips swelling up, burning, turning red, awful!
Turns out I didn't develop an allergy to beeswax, but to the essential oils in it, like the peppermint oil. The question is what other ingredients are in your chafing cream? Any mint oils or menthol to give a 'cooling' effect, for example?
Might well be another ingredient. Essential oils can be very irritating on mucus membranes like lips and intimate parts.

Thanks for all the replies! No, I avoided those "warming" ingredients because I did not want to be "warmed" or "cooled" down there for any reason lol. I checked my label and it says beeswax, mineral oil, lanolin. So it may be one of the other ingredients? Regardless, I am not able to use that any more.

Any suggestions on things that ARE non-irritating and don't involve talc or other irritants?

Lots of people are sensitive to lanolin. Are you sensitive to wool?

Several of us use pure shea butter. Not only is it one ingredient, but it lubricates and lasts better than anything I've ever tried (and I've tried a LOT of lubes ).

Where do you buy pure shea butter by chance?

As for lanolin, I'm not sensitive to wool, but then again, I don't wear it on my privates haha, so I don't know about that.

Natural food stores, some drug stores, some garden stores.

I will try order online. No health stores here (no health haha) and not available at the drugstores here. Just asked mom's friend (who is a skincare specialist) and she says get it online.
