Which one of these ingredients do you think is most likely to cause a reaction?
"Purified Water, Magnesium Chloride, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Emulsifying Wax NF, Glyceryl Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Cetyl Alcohol, Xanthan Gum, and Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Natural lavender oils."
I bought a few bottles of various lotions with magnesium over the last few months to help with various issues (dry skin, dandruff, sleep etc) and to their credit they DO help with those things BUT my issue began a few weeks ago after I started randomly breaking out in hives
Initially I thought it was something I ate. Then after the process of elimination I landed on the lotion I'd been applying. I thought maybe I just used too much and my body was expressing a limitation so I dialed it back a bit.
The reactions became less intense but still happened so I stopped completely and they went away.
Fast forward another week I applied just a tiny amount to a couple of fingers in the morning before work and by the time I got home I started to break out around my neck. As a vitamin if been taking magnesium over the counter for years without an issue so I'd find it hard to believe the mineral itself is causing the reaction. Maybe one of the ingredients on the above list is the trigger but which one? Thoughts?
