So this is scary news... certain ingredients in moisturizers may be linked to skin cancer.

Mineral oil and sodium laurel sulfate, specifically. Amusingly, SLS is what makes shampoos lather, and I specifically avoid any product with SLS in it already, because it's quite drying and bad for curly hair. What would SLS be doing in a moisturizer?

I almost always use lotions (face and body) from the Body Shop or Sephora, which don't contain either mineral oil or SLS. However, after I got badly sunburnt, I started using Banana Boat Aloe After Sun Lotion, whose third ingredient is mineral oil. That's what I get for buying a body product at a drug store.

See? It's *healthy* to be this high maintenance!
