Again, I was looking at the ingredients in one of my skin creams. This is yet another high quality brand name skin cream. Claiming that "This non-greasy, fast-absorbing lotion contains rich emollients and vitamins to moisturize for a full 24hrs to improve the look and feel of skin, leaving it softer and smoother." Really? Wow!

Just one question though. Since when did "Dimethicone", "Tetrasodium EDTA", and the other 27 hard to pronounce ingredients become vitamins?

And correct me if I'm wrong here, but the human body, this humanoid form that we use to get around this earth. Was seeded like what 3,000,000+ years ago?
Since then it's gone through a few changes to acclimate to its environment.:

Pliopithecus
Pronc onsul
Dryopithecus
Oreopithecus
R amapithecus
Australopithecus
Par anthropus
Advanced Australopithecus
Homo Erectus
Early Homo Sapiens
Solo Man
Rhodesian Man
Neanderthal Man
Cro-Magnon Man
Modern Man

So we're running off of ver 15.0 which is something like 150,000 years old right? So can someone tell me how our skin will know what to do with "Magnesium Aluminum Silicate"?
Our skin was never designed to "understand" what to do with that compound or any other non-organic chemical we slap on our skin.

Would you moisturize your cows and pigs with those chemicals? No! Why not? Because you know you have to keep everything they touch and ingest natural or else it will affect the taste of the meat and/or give them diseases. Right. So if we're mammals like them, why aren't we doing the same for ourselves? Do we really have so little love and appreciation for our bodies that we don't care about what it's exposed to internally and externally? Yet, expect it to always perform 110% when we want it to. Sounds like how most people treat their cars doesn't it?

Give it the cheapest oil possible because it's just something that "gets in the way", don't lubricate or clean the main engine parts or suspension. Just wait until the part gives out to take it in to the shop, get it removed or replaced. Sounds a lot like our way of looking at health care doesn't it?

I spent a lot of time in my brother's auto shop. I learned a lot there too. The best times were when people would spend hours and hours putting various products on the exteriors of their cars. These cars looked amazing on the outside. But when you'd lift the hood, my god! horrible...

Gunk so thick you couldn't read the stickers anymore! Belts so dry they'd squeal, thinning break pads, and they'd go over 10,000kms without changing their oil! Yet
