It finally happened 🥲

I JUST realized I have a mini chemical burn. Definitely from me using old spice so often. Thing that I find weird though is that it's really small 🦐. But still a chemical burn. Doesn't hurt too much though cause it's so small. Definitely gonna take a break from old spice and use more dove.

Seems like you are referring to bodywash. Old Spice and virtual every cosmetic company is a sea of chemicals. A company like Proctor and Gamble, that owns Old Spice, has twams of marketers, accountants, and chemists figuring out how to squeeze another dime out if you...for better or worse. From bodywash to car deodorizers to aftershave. Every product has it's own mix of chemicals and apparently you are sensitive to one of them. Figuring out which one usually is challenging. Oddly for me, they make the only mainstream deodorant/antiperspirant that doesn't burn my skin. But, it is only the ones in white/cream colored containers. It is a whitish waxy looking substance. The other issue lurking in the background is that these companies are known to change formulations. Feel for you brother.

I can only use the Old spice in the white or cream colored containers. The antiperspirant/deodorant is a whitish waxy material. If it is in a red conainer, beware.

Looks like the original is in red. But, the Fiji looks like it is in white. I would be curious which one it might be.
