Science: Gold Bond Reviews by NvWah_Gold Bond Ultimate Protection Lotion

Based on the ingredients this is a very nutritious and moisturizing body lotion, suitable for normal and dry skin. For the price I consider this a well worthy buy.

The lotion is enriched with glycerin, aloe, shea butter and vitamin B5, all proven effective moisturizing factors.

It is a pleasant surprise to see they include potent anti-oxidants in this body lotion as well, such as vitamin E, C, and A. So this lotion should protect skin from free radical damage and aging.

The product is generally safe to use except on abraded skin. Because of the orange and lemon extract ingredients, use on injured skin may disrupt skin natural healing.

Safety alert: Safe
review based on scientific information of the product ingredients.

1st ingredient		is water.
2nd ingredient		glycerin transports water from the environment and from the lower layers of skin (dermis) to surface skin (epidermis). It softens the skin. Glycerin is a substance naturally present in skin which helps maintain the epidermis and prevent dryness or scaling.
3rd ingredient		glyceryl stearate SE is used as an emollient and thickening agent in cosmetics.
4th ingredient		cyclopentasiloxane is silicone that gives skin a slip and silky feeling. It also acts as a water-resistant emollient.

Skin irritation		contains lavender extract that is primarily a fragrance ingredient. It may have antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-toxic and anti-inflammatory properties but it has not been translated into skin benefits. The fragrant component can be a skin irritant. contains potassium hydroxide, used in cosmetics as pH adjuster. It's a strong chemical and potent skin irritant that may cause burning sensation. But in this product it is at miniscule concentration not high enough to cause concerns. contains propylene glycol which is a potent skin irritant and could provoke skin irritation and sensitization at concentration as low as 2%. But in this product it is the second to last ingredient so the concentration should not be high enough to cause concerns.
Fragrance		Should be avoided by people who are allergic to fragrance.
