What you will NOT find in GingerGanics products:

The ingredients below are taken directly from many of the top selling skin balms and ointments (I have left out their names to protect their identity mainly so I don’t get sued of course).

• Petrolatum -- the horrific planet polluter byproduct of petrol. Both Petrolatum and Mineral Oil are by products of petroleum refining. If the refining process were controlled, and contaminants were not a possibility, there would be no known side effects, according to safecosmetics.org. The problem is there is no way to know how the refinement process is conducted, leaving possibilities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs -- which are known cancer causing carcinogens. No thanks. Not in here. Not today satan. 
• Mineral Oil -- See “petrolatum” above.
• Parabens -- These are a class of commonly used preservatives. The problem with parabens is that studies have suggested that long-chain parabens are hormone disruptors in the body, which can lead to hormone production disorders, birth disorders, and cancer. Parabens are highly effective against bacterial growth and are therefore widely used in cosmetics, personal care and even food. Due to this constant exposure on a mass scale, parabens have been detected in every human urine sample according to Environmental Health Perspectives. The EU has banned multiple parabens in products, and several south Asian countries as well. The U.S. FDA has not banned parabens. 
• Lanolin -- Lanolin oil can be great to help retain moisture in skin. It is also known for irritating sensitive skin types, and causing allergic reactions. It is an oily (sebum-like) secretion from sheep skin to condition their wool, and as such is an effective emollient.
