Customer Reviews of Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Stretch Oil, 4-Ounce Bottle
Customer Review: Vitamin E and Birth Defects
Summary: 1 Stars
Recent studies have linked excessive use of vitamin E to heart related birth defects. Although not at the same level as consumption, the skin does absorb the nutrients that we put on it. Earth Mama's stretch oil and body butter both list Vitamin E as an ingredient. When I contacted Earth Mama to request that they remove Vitamin E from their formulas, Melanie from the company assured me that they stopped formulating products with vitamin E several years ago, stating that the product lasts longer when it doesn't contain an antioxidant. I went to my local healthfood store to confirm, but all the product labels show vitamin e (tocopherol) as an ingredient. When I viewed their Amazon pages, the Amazon pages also listed vitamin E as an ingredient.
Although I love their products, I will discontinue the use of their Earth Mama and Angel Baby products as I no longer feel that the company is providing reliable information to consumers. Even though there are no current studies linking use of TOPICAL vitamin E and birth defects, the company's claim that they no longer use it as an ingredient while still listing it on their labels as one makes me question their practices.
Customer Review: Extremely Itchy
Summary: 1 Stars
My wife used this product for over a week and had to switch to 100% cocoa butter because of extreme itchiness that prevented her from sleeping. I do not know for sure if the itchiness was caused by this product or not, but after two days of switching to 100% cocoa butter so far and her itchiness has deminished substancially. If the itchiness disappears after a week, I am returning this product and giving it a zero. If it still itchies, then it might just be a pregnacy thing and I will upgrade the rating to 3 stars. I will post another update in about 10 days.
