I have to agree with regards to natural products which contain essential oils, i’ve tried everything from Aveda right through to Weleda and every single product has given me allergy problems. I genuinely wanted to be more eco friendly etc but my skin won’t allow me to be, i’ve gone back to using Nivea thankfully their products are cruelty free so i can feel happy about that if nothing else.

Hi! I’m a new reader this is a great post.

I was allergic to Lush products (US brand, they sell lots of soups) – the Coal face cleanser in particular. When I went back to the store to try and return it, they kept insisting that because it was organic I couldn’t have been allergic. I totally agree with you in that organic does not equal non-allergenic.

Hi Paris,

I missed out on this blog entry earlier. Sorry to know that you had such a bad reaction on your hands! Have read through all the comments….. I don’t disagree that natural/organic products can cause reaction because we can be allergic to certain natural components eg. citrus, mint, etc. Normally we will ask our customers if they have sensitive skin before we recommend anything.

But I am really suprised to hear it could be the Mukti Foaming Cleanser! I’m definitely bringing this up with Mukti to see if anyone else has ever reported this condition so that we can narrow down the potential (natural) allergen and consult clients accordingly. Thanks for highlighting this.

Hi aishiang

Thanks for the input. I agree. Sometimes if an “artificial” or “synthetic” product works, it might be best to stick with it.
