Aloe vera laced lotion, a second impression on Palmer's

I stress on the need to get to know each product because not all products no matter how much adored the brand is, can actually suit a consumer perfectly.

I was all praises the other day for the new discovery I had when I tried on Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula.

It has a yummy concoction of moisturizer, and just like a perfume it swirls an enticing scent that is hard to ignore and easy to love.

There after I tried on another Palmer's lotion this time, a lotion for sensitive skin.  I enthusiastically tried it on. 

The lotion was light to medium in consistency and unlike the Cocoa Butter Formula, it does not have a peculiarly attractive scent.

Minutes after I tried it on I felt sudden itching on my arms, in areas where I specifically applied the lotion which claims to be for sensitive skin.

I took a second glance on the product bottle and paid attention on the label. From there,  I have read that it is a cocoa butter with aloe formula.

I do not remember trying on a product with aloe before.

Knowing the early warning signs of my skin sensitivity, I cleansed my arm right away to stop the itching. Good that it worked.

So here is a classic example of taking a closer look at product labels. And knowing what works best for one's skin.

Not all products fit all. Brand reputation should not automatically earn  loyalty more than product suitability as gauged by the consumer.

In my opinion, it is not the brand but the aloe ingredient that does not sit well on my chemistry of cosmetic tolerance.

But do not get me wrong.  I still like (as in smiley like) Palmer's.

Yup not changing my mind, and the good impresssion I had after trying the Cocoa Butter Formula without aloe.

Maybe the lotion with aloe works for others. Trying a variety of products leads to knowing compatibility.

Post script:

I actually researched on aloe vera and I discovered that it can actually cause reactions.

So there I thought, maybe I should not dip my hands on that jar of aloe moisturizer (another brand) now widely popular among beauty junkies.
