I need to know if anyone else uses the Korres Pure Greek Oilive Body Cream in Sea Salt & has develped a terrible rash & the worst itching ever after using it? I purchased 2 tubes last year & had no issue with the 1st tube, but from the 1st day of using the 2nd tube, I developed uncontrollable itching & a patchy rash where ever the cream touched my skin.

 

I looked up the ingredients & discovered the 2nd one (so the most content) is Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides. When I Googled it this appeared:

 

CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE:

To understand the potential side effects of caprylic/capric triglycerides, consider the following points:

  • Generally recognized as safe for topical and dietary use.
  • May cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals.
  • Rarely, allergic reactions can occur, including rashes or itching.
  • Ingesting large amounts may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort.
  • Not recommended for those with specific allergies to coconut or palm oil.
  • Always perform a patch test before using on the skin.

Is this a common ingredient & what other companies use it? I would like to avoid it in the future...TIA
