I was attemtping to be helpful, which around here ( this forum) seems to get slammed unless it meets someone's specific parmameters for what answer some one wants to hear...

Why not just leave it at the direct reply, "this product has stuff in it that I react to" instead of a (IMO) holier than thou, I am more of a purist and better educated than you probably are attitude.

I"d encourage you to just say, "no thanks" and leave the insinuations out of it.

Pennys, I by no means intended any slight or "slam" by my response. As I stated, I was unsure by the way your text read if you were serious in your post, specifically the sentence, "It was made for animals, should qualify for your purity standards. " For me, this gave your post either a tongue-in-cheek flavor, or a disparagement of my personal circumstances--that's just the way it came across to me. And as I stated in my response, it's difficult at times to read a person's intent in text. This is also why I stated that I was taking your post at face value and responded (I believe) cordially to your suggestion.

Additionally, I wasn't insinuating anything by the next paragraph of my response. I simply want to encourage people to truly think about that fact that what they apply to their skin is absorbed systemically into the body. I myself really didn't think about this until my own system started reacting negatively to certain components. My intent was to share information, not insinuate that you are less informed or less of a "purist," or what have you. I regret that this paragraph did not come across in the fashion I intended.
