Stuff you never noticed before? This happened recently with phenoxyethanol, a preservative that is often used as an alternative to parabens. Now it’s happening again with allantoin—I’m suddenly noticing it in lots of products that I write about on this blog. Allantoin is a white powder that has no odor, and provides conditioning properties to the skin, according to the National Eczema Foundation. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/milky-piggy-carbonated-mud-bubble-clay-mask-review/ Fri, 13 Jul 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/milky-piggy-carbonated-mud-bubble-clay-mask-review/ I received a jar of Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask as a Christmas gift last year. It’s something I was definitely curious to try, because this mask is “carbonated,” so it causes you to feel a bubbling sensation during the first few minutes of application. It’s fun to use, but I probably won’t be repurchasing this mask. Read on to find out why. Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask Ingredients water, cocomidopropyl betaine, kaolin, acrylates copolymer, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, methylperfluoroisobutyl ether, sodium laureth sulfate, lauramide DEA, TEA-cocoyl glutamate, camellia sinensis leaf extract, glycerin, dipropylene glycol, bentonite, collagen, charcoal powder, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, fragrance, carbonated water, xanthan gum, disodium EDTA, allantoin, butylene glycol, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) extract, monarda didyma leaf extract, mentha piperita Plus, it is formulated with a bunch of skin-clarifying ingredients like two types of clay, collagen, and charcoal powder, which can help clear up the skin and make it less oily.
