Hello to all TE board members!

I'm a biker who is also a stickler for 100% natural body products. For example, all my cosmetics and body care products are either from Aubrey Organics or have absolutely no synthetic components. I'm also a no-animal-testing product user, going totally vegan where possible.

Now, I'm working my way up to longer rides after a badly sprained ankle, and I know I'll need some sort of chamois cream/lubricant for the 10+ mile rides. So I'm earnestly looking for something that'll meet my criteria, since Chamois Butt'R is a complete no-go--it contains three synthetic paraben compounds that are known to be toxic and cause skin rashes (methylparaben, ethylparaben, butylparaben--used as antimicrobials and to extend product shelf life).

I'm looking for more information, and the ingredient lists if possible, to the following list of potential alternatives:

-- Cafe Chamois Cream
-- ASSOS Chamois Cream (Swiss product)
-- Qoleum Chamois Cream (Belgian product)

I know that Qoleum uses only vegan cream bases in their products, but I'm hoping to get the actual list of ingredients, and any feedback from bikers using this product. Anyone using any of the other Qoleum products please chime in with your own experience regarding product use and performance.

Thanks in advance for any and all replies. I appreciate the feedback.
