Thanks for posting this, Janis. It's scary how the perfume industry is always dreaming up new ways to torture those of us with MCS. :Retro mad::worried:

I like that above statement Rebecca. I wear none of those so that is good! But, I can't because I am so sensitive. I have converted over to non chemical deodorant and products..lipstick etc.

Thanks for this

JanisB wrote about using a sitolonic a few months ago. I'm considering buying one and wonder if she still uses it and is finding it easy to use and helpful?

stick with using essential oils and make ones own fragrances up using them. (thou one can occassionally react to those too, my body dont like citronella, makes me ill).
