Does Anxiety Cause PTSD or Does PTSD Cause Anxiety?
“PTSD is a whole-body tragedy, an integral human event of enormous proportions with massive repercussions.” ― Susan Pease Banitt
This question came up in conversation when I was speaking with someone who has experienced severe panic attacks to the point of calling them “debilitating”, requiring inpatient care. As they were sharing about the ordeal, they told me that when they contemplate the time spent seeking treatment and the aftermath, it ramped up both the anxiety and PTSD symptoms. Even as a career therapist with decades of experience treating people with stand-alone anxiety, with no overt PTSD s...

Study on Potential Toxicity of E-Cigarette Flavorings Produces Unwarranted Scare
A study published in the journal Tobacco Control this past April has produced an unwarranted scare about the potential toxicity of the flavorings in electronic cigarettes.(See: Tierney PA, et al. Flavour chemicals in electronic cigarette fluids. Tobacco Control. Published online ahead of print on April 15, 2015. DOI: 0.1136/tobaccocontrol-2014-052175.)The study used gas chromatography/mass spectrometry to analyze the chemical constituents in e-liquids of various flavors.

Does Farmaesthetics make greener products?
Amy asks…I’m looking for natural products just as many other people are. I read about Farmaesthetics new Almond Blossom Organic Body Wash and it sounds fantastic (and expensive!) Is this product green or not and is it worth the money?
The Beauty Brains respond
Farmaesthetics bills themselves as the “creators of 100% natural fine herbal skincare preparations.” They claim that their products are “100% natural; there are no chemicals, fillers, dyes, fragrances, natural identicals or petroleum products.” A 16 ounce bottle of their new Almond body wash will set you back $45 which makes it one of the more expensive ...

Is Lush Fair Trade Honey shampoo really preservative free?
Rachel says…After reading your articles about the importance of preservatives in cosmetics I’m always worried about the so-called “preservative-free” products. I’d love to try Lush’s honey shampoo but it’s expensive and I’m worried that it won’t keep very long without preservatives. Can you shed any light on this?
The Beauty Brains respond:
The Lush website explains that 50% of this shampoo formula consists of honey. Honey is self-preserving because it has a very low water-activity (0.6). Essentially this means that there’s not enough water in the product for ...

Playboy VIP Perfume: In the Beauty Brains Bathroom
Speaking of perfume (as I was earlier today in the post Why Does Perfume Make me Sneeze), Coty is launching two new Playboy themed scents in honor of founder Hugh Hefner’s upcoming nuptials.
Playboy VIP for Her is a joyful fragrance full of floral contrasts and sparkling ingredients that surprise, thrill and exude sensuality with a playful touch. A scintillating mélange of subtle musk and sandalwood, Playboy VIP for Her delivers a lingering, tempting scent for women with luxurious taste. ($17) It kinda sorta smells like a stripper fragrance a little bit which I think is highly appropriate given the branding.
