HI Shawna,
ReplyDeleteDid you have to change the cosmetics you used on your skin due to your husband's sensitivity? Did what you use on yourself affect him or was it just products put directly on his skin?
No. His sensitivity is triggered by ingesting sulfites. We avoid sulfates just to be on the safe side.
