I like Body Drench moisturizing lotion. I have a 64oz bottle in my bathroom at home!

Speaking of moisturizers, has anyone tried the new one from LA Ink? If so, what did you think of it?

My advice is, stay away form any product that has methylparaben as well as the above mentioned mineral oil. in it……

In a 2006 study in Toxicology, cultured keratinocytes (human skin cells) subjected to practical levels of methylparaben (a preservative used in skin care products including moisturizers and tanning lotions) and cultured in methylparaben-containing solution for 24 hours were more subject to UVB-damage than cells that were not cultured in methylparaben.

Swedish Beautys new 2009 Aloe There is awesome!

I still haven't been able to score a sample of that. It wasn't included in the samples when we went to the AG presentation or when my disty sent samples - I'm beginning to think they don't have samples!

I have one customer from Costa Rica who buys 4 bottles of Angel at least 2X a year and takes them "home" with her. She doesn't ever tan - just comes in and buys the lotion :) And CT Total Immersion flies off the shelf.

My staff had tried this and thought that it did a good job of moisturizing but said the fragrance was horrible and would not recommend it

Re: Moisturizer question
 

So what's a good tanning lotion/moisturizer without methylparaben? I was gonna buy some Hempz Herbal Moisturizer from Amazon since it's well reviewed but apparently it has methylparaben so scratch that. I'm fair skinned and the last thing I want to do is increase my risk of UVB damage. Does DS Angel have it? I couldn't find the ingredients online.

edit:
Was searching around and discovered this interesting article about parabens and other potential health risks (references your 2006 Toxicology study):

Randrage why are you looking to buy lotion on Amazon instead of going to your local salon for professional advice? :)
