Since my BC diagnosis & skin cancer I have been trying to go all natural. I have paid much more for products thinking that will be better for me & my family but obviously not. I too recently purchased lavender & tea tree oil hand/face soap etc. My skin surgeon told me that I have a 50% of another basil cell carcinoma so I should apply sunscreen everyday after I get out of the shower. I figured that everyone in my house should do this too since we're all fair skinned and outside alot. Well...that natural sunscreens are very EXPENSIVE and some contain soy. After spending hours researching many sunscreens by checking each ingredient by running it through the cosmetics database on the internet and finding one that the price wasn't too bad, the 2nd to the last ingredient has been liked to breast cancer. I am so frustrated by all this. It seems like we can't win...... I guess we have to try to do the best we can but it seems like many natural soaps & creams contain tea tree oil or lavender.....
