In reply to Leanne. Leanne, I know, right? It's incredible how many good formulas are ruined by natural extracts and oils like anything citrusy! :( I get it they make the product smell good but they're not that good for skin.

I’ve been looking up new sunscreens to try lately, and am amazed how many include citrus oils and and other dubious plant extracts. I have heard that citrus extracts are photo toxic, in that they actually magnify the damaging effects of UV. Some of the most expensive sunscreens are the worst!

In reply to Char. Char, yes, when it's not distilled with alcohol, witch hazel can be very soothing. The problem is that companies usually don't tell you how they distill it so it's easier to stay away from it entirely.

I agree with al the ingredients you listed except Witch Hazel. I found a wonderful Witch Hazel that is alcohol free made by Thayers. I find that alcohol free witch hazel can be very soothing!
