Hi Diana,

I thought I should point out that the Pau d'Arco lotion page Russ posted is no longer current. Nature's Sunshine discontinued that lotion and reformulated it, removing the propylene glycol and sodium lauryl sulfate.

Here's the list of ingredients for the new formulation: Purified Water, pau d' arco extract (Tabebuia heptaphylla), Ethylhexyl palmitate, Carthamus tinctorius(hybrid safflower) seed oil, glycerin, Helianthus annuus(sunflower) oil, glyceryl sterate, cetyl alcohol, stearic acid, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice, sodium steroyl lactylate, tocopheryl acetate, panthenol, allantoin, disodium EDTA, carbomer, aminomenthyl propanol, dimethicone, polysorbate-20, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and isobutylparaben.

I did read the link you provided on parabens and will ask the company about these ingredients and their safety. I'll post this info as soon as I get an answer.
