Chemically speaking...
Time for today's chemical report. So far we have:
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Xylenesulfonate, Behenyl Alcohol, Benzyl alcohol, BHT, Bisabolol, Butylene Glycol, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Butylparaben, Calcium Pantothenate, Caprylic/CapricTriglyceride, Cellulose Gum, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteth-10 Phosphate, Cetyl Alcohol, Citric acid, Clycol Distearate, Cocamide MEA, Codium Tomentosum, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dicetyl Phosphate, Dimethicone, Ensulizole, Ethylparaben, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Hydrated Silica, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Isobutane, Isobutylparaben, Isohexadecane, Laureth-23, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Methylparaben, Octocrylene, PEG-100 Stearate, PEG-32, PEG-7M, Phenoxyethanol, Polyquaternium-10, Propane, Propylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Propylparaben, Pyrithlone zinc, SD alcohol 38-B, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Monoflurophosphate, Sodium Saccharin, Sodium Stearate, Sorbitol, Stearic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, Tocopherol, Triethanolamine, Triethanolamine, Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/tricaprate, Trimethylolpropane Triethylhexanoate, Xanthan Gum, Zinc Citrate Trihydrate, Zinc Oxide
Some were ingested, some rubbed into my skin/scalp. Some placed on my skin then scraped off with a sharp edge. And that's just before 9 AM.
Oh, the propane came from my shaving cream. What?
Go green! Start using natural and organic products... (Though the term 'natural' is indeed tricky... Look for 'certified' organic products.)
It looks like you may have used deodorant as well as shaving cream. I know I often have a slight smell (I hope it's slight!) because the natural stuff I use doesn't quite cut it, but I prefer that to rubbing all sorts of nasty chemicals under my arms every morning...
Here's a start to categorizing them...
Soap:
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate
Ammonium Xylenesulfonate
To make you think the product is natural:Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
Keep it from growing mold or bacteria in the container:
Butylparaben
Ethylparaben
Isobutylparaben
Methylchloroisothiazolinone
Methylisothiazolinone
Methylparaben
Emulsufying agents:
Cetearyl Alcohol
Cetyl Alcohol
Keep your hair from knotting when you comb it.
(works Like little tiny balls rolling across a counter - reduces friction when you comb)
Dimethicone
Organic might be useful, but somewhat futile. In terms of chemical exposure, the stuff over here is a little more scary.
Dear Mr Brad Choate,
As i am sure you are aware, the internet has blown up over this movabletype 3.0 licensing thing. Since you are developer of neat mt hacks, I was curious what your response was to this whole mess. also, tx for mt regex, i've been using it quite nicely for a while. (it replaces names of all my friends with their color + href on my site.)
Fascinating...
