A Facebook friend shared yesterday that she thinks there might have been a formula change in EOS products. She had been an avid user for a long time, and developed a nasty rash when she started using a newly purchased Sweet Mint.
I did a little research online to see if I could find any other relevant conversations, and mostly turned up people describing their allergic reactions. Not very informative in this case, when a product has seemingly turned against you out of nowhere. But when I saw a pictures of these reactions, I realized that I had this same experience earlier this summer.
I thought I had skimped on the SPF in my balm, and ended up with sunburnt lips for a week. But I stopped using my EOS after that, simply out of convenience. I didn't have another problem all summer.
Stranger yet, I've had this same lip balm since October 2013 and never before experienced a negative reaction. My friends EOS was newly purchased and gave her this reaction right away.
I have so many questions... Do they expire faster than usual (and can therefore expire on the checkout shelves)? What is in this product that I am reacting to, when I have no other known allergies? Is it safe to purchase EOS again?
Have you been affected by this?
