Science: Lush Moisturizer Reviews by NvWah

I’d say Luch priced this one honestly. This is a decent moisturizer. Not sure about what Lush said about lavender. Lavender extract 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 actually be a skin irritant.

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

1st ingredient		lavender extract 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.
2nd ingredient		mullein leaf infusion (Verbascum thapsus) may have skin conditioning and smoothing properties.
3rd ingredient		orange blossom water is fragrant extract that can also be a skin irritant.
4th ingredient		olive oil is nonfragrant emollient oil and an excellent antioxidant. It may also protect against UVB damage.

Skin irritation		contains orange extract, fragrant components that are irritating to skin. contains lavender extract that can be a skin irritant. contains St. John's wort which contains photosensitive components that will cause damage to skin once exposed to sunlight.
Illness		Triethanolamine is used in cosmetics as a pH balancer. Like all amines, it has the potential for creating nitrosamines. Nitrosamines are readily absorbed through skin and they have been proved to be strong carcinogen. Whether or not the concentrations used in cosmetics should be of concern is still a matter of debate. Better avoid if possible. If you have to use containing products, rinse off completely and use cold water to reduce absorption.
Fragrance		Should be avoided by people who are allergic to fragrance.
