Possible side effects

While this lotion includes many beneficial ingredients, certain components can potentially cause adverse effects—especially in sensitive individuals.

 1. Allergic Reactions or Skin Irritation

• Perfume (Fragrance): A common irritant and allergen, especially for people with sensitive skin, eczema, or rosacea.

• Methylparaben & Propylparaben: Can cause allergic reactions or mild irritation in some users, particularly with long-term use.

• Disodium EDTA: Generally safe, but may irritate very sensitive or damaged skin.

Signs to watch for: Redness, itching, rash, or burning sensation after application.

 2. Pore-Clogging / Acne (Comedogenic Potential)

• Cetyl Alcohol & Stearic Acid: While they are fatty alcohols and generally considered safe, they can clog pores in acne-prone or oily skin if used in excess.

• Dimethicone & Cyclomethicone: Silicones can form a barrier on the skin. While they help lock in moisture, they might trap sweat or dirt beneath the surface, potentially leading to breakouts in sensitive individuals.

 3. Photosensitivity / Reactions with Sun Exposure

• BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole): A controversial ingredient. It’s used as a preservative but may cause mild skin sensitivity to sunlight or environmental irritants in some users.

 4. Hormonal or Long-Term Health Concerns

• Parabens (Methylparaben, Propylparaben): These are widely debated. While approved for cosmetic use in many countries, long-term or heavy exposure has raised concerns about hormone disruption due to their estrogen-mimicking properties.

• BHA: Some studies have raised concerns about its potential link to hormonal disruption or carcinogenicity with long-term exposure, though it’s used in very small concentrations.

 5. Eye Irritation (if applied too close)

• Ingredients like fragrance, alcohols, and silicones may cause irritation or a stinging sensation if the lotion accidentally gets into the eyes.

Not Ideal For:

• Very sensitive or allergic skin types

• People with active acne or clogged pores

• Those avoiding parabens, fragrance, or silicones

• Infants or people with compromised skin barrier (unless advised by a dermatologist)

What You Can Do:

• Patch test before applying to your face or large areas.

• Avoid applying near the eyes or open wounds.

• Use a fragrance-free alternative if you have sensitive skin.

• Look for “non-comedogenic” labels if you’re acne-prone.
