Truckers Rash

My husband is a pilot and we have a construction/trucking company (J & K Trucking) where he runs heavy equipment. Lots of seat time. He has suffered from a rash for years and asked me to come up with some sort of solution. I have a degree in chemistry and have been making healthy organic beauty products for years so I set out to get him some relief. I have developed a treatment, maybe not a cure but my husband uses it every day. My husband is such a believer that he is working on getting it into Pilot and Flying J. It is called Colorado Baby and it is in a spray form. The cost is $8.00 for an 8 oz bottle plus shipping. I also have an oil that might be beneficial for $8.00 for 8 oz (my husband hates the feeling of oils so he won't try this one). Let me know if I can help. Let others know as well.

Good luck Jenette essentiallyj@yahoo.com

Interesting. Do you have a website or is it sold on Amazon or anything?

Also, there are probably 1000 different rash treatments on the market that cover the spectrum from infants to seniors, athletes to pets. I take it nothing you found out there was working?

Oh, and what is the original one? A powder?

If you are a real person with good intentions, please rethink your business strategy. I may be the queen of skepticism but, there's a reason for that. I'd love to take a look at your product if it was listed on a selling platform with an ingredients list.

"Healthy organic" are buzzwords in the beauty industry. Your best bet is to set up some sort of Etsy type site or somewhere to sell your product where potential customers can go to see and get to know your business through. Some place where they offer a buyer's protection like if you can pay with Paypal or through Amazon.

I don't have a fancy degree but I have years of extensive research on ingredients for beauty products and which ones I can trust or not to actually be natural and safe. And, I personally wouldn't be able to purchase your product just because you tell me it's "healthy" and "organic". For instance, I'd want to know things like did you use fragrance oils (synthetic and known allergens)? Did you use any citrus essential oils? (All known to cause photosensitivity aka makes skin react in the sun.) What is the thinning spray medium? If it's just water, is it preserved to prevent bacteria and microscopic mold? (Tocopherol and Rosemary essential oils are NOT preservatives). What are the actual ingredients(I don't need amounts here, I'm not trying to recreate a recipe.)?

It's also a little sketchy to buy something via email from a forum post. You also don't tell us the sort of rash this is for. Heat rash? Rub rash? Eczema? I can't really think of a rash that would be cured by a spray to be honest.

Aside from all that, I've cured rashes and eczema on a stubborn man with African black soap(the real stuff that comes in an ugly poo colored block) in every shower and the application of Shea butter to the affected area after. When he left and left all his other junk behind, he took the soap and butter with him.

Essential oils will do the trick great natural stuff.

Only some (very few) are safe to use neat (not combined with other ingredients) on the skin and definitely not in the presence of broken skin like rashes tend to get. For instance, besides increasing photosensitivity, all the citrus essential oils can cause intense burning sensations and sometimes physical marks on sensitive areas of skin. Same with all the mint family oils. If they are combined at 1-4% with a carrier oil (not canola) or butter (shea, cocoa, not actual dairy butter) then they can generally be alright to use unless someone that will be in contact with it is pregnant or nursing. Essential oils are great with the right information.

They are also awesome for natural cleaning inside vehicles and make everything smell so great. I like to wipe down my dash and steering wheel with a mix of white vinegar, water, and a few drops of mint and orange essential oil.
