Skin Care Hazmat - John Dunn, Consultant, Ambertec, P.E., P.C.

One of my sons received a little bonus at work. The company distributed some samples of several skin care products. He didn't really feel that he wanted them so he brought them over to give to me.

After my son had gone home, I took a look at the ingredients labels and one of those labels left me astonished. The user is expected to douse himself/herself with pressurized butane, the primary ingredient of cigarette lighter fuel and the primary ingredient in this container?? This is in a skin care product??

Butane is a petrochemical of which I want no part. Would you like to read some scary stuff about butane? Check out these three URLs:

This container is going to be disposed of as a hazardous waste material. I no way will I allow this product to be used and vented into my home.
