Hi Moms,
The last couple of years my eyes have been getting very sensitive to hair and body products, this is very annoying and it's impossible to track down the ingredient, I don't think it's just one. But, for the face lotions, I have several brand new products that I can't use, and I hate to keep buying stuff that I end up having to give away. Right now I have Burts Bees Radiance, this works but it leaves my skin sticky, so I wanted something else if possible. What I have that bothers my eyes is Earth Science Almond-Aloe moisturizer and Avalon Organics Vitamin C (the eye serum doesn't bother my eyes, go figure) Anyway, do you have sensitive eyes and what products are you using? I would like all natural and w/ SPF. Thank you!! PS. I'd rather not order online, as to save shipping costs :)
Do you think it might be the fragrances?
Anyway, I use St. Ives stuff and it's really gentle and is at a very reasonable cost.
Nuetrogena oil free moisturizer for sensitive skin but without SPF. I do not wear SPF daily on my face because my eyes are too sensitive as well so when I need it I use aveeno lotion with SPF green cap and I apply it hourly. And where a hat.
dermaE makes a great line of products.
They have several different eye creams. :)
I use the California Baby Sensitive formula baby lotion. Target carries it in the baby section. Works great on my sensitive face.
Was going to recommend Derma-e (like Emily did) and another great one, Beauty without cruelty. Great stuff
I use Arbonne's all Natural products. I have very sensative skin. We have some specifically for sensative skin. Our products DO NOT contain mineral oil, animal products or by products, no perfumes, dyes or fillers and the list goes on. I have a lot of clients with sensative skin and they have no issues with Arbonne's products. We have SPF in our products (not all of course). I can send you a free sample so you can try it before you buy it. I have access to all of the ingredients in our products and our baby products are awesome too. I can even send you a sample of that if you would like. I will PM you my contact info.
I don't have sensitive eyes but I use products from a company called BeautiControl and they have a money back guarantee and if you order through me you will not incur a shipping charge just a thought. Also there are products in the Melaleuca line that you could try that are more naturally based. Let me know if you are interested in either one and I can work with you on getting something to try and to risk to you.
I have sensitivity problems with my eyes as well. But my sensitivity comes from other things as well. (Shampoo, conditioner, gels, hairspray.) I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact or combination or chemicals that affects me. But I have been using BioEntopic - 10% Vitamin C Ester Daily Renew Cream. I bought it at Richard's Whole foods. I have also used mineral oil. My skin is very oily, so I couldn't continue to use mineral oil, but it felt great on my skin. Good Luck :)
