To any who bought this year, is boric acid still in the product? If they removed it, anyone know why?

Based upon what I have read, if ingested, boric acid is poisonous. With the penchant that animals have for licking their wounds, the product is safer without it. Hope this helps.

September 2015 and Boric Acid is not a listed ingredient on the bottle I received.

I thought I better update. I checked the newest bottle, and boric acid is still in the product, but it is not the number 1 ingredient. I would still exercise caution in using it where an animal can lick, but my old dog gets a raw fanny every now and again, and the product works well. I do not use it on any part where she can lick, and I do not use it on my cats.

I don't see it listed on the ingredients, and it is poisonous if ingested so I imagine that's why it isn't in there

Alluminum and Nickle lead all caused cancer but you said that you thought that they may have be taken heavy metal out of their product and that is too what I read somewhere. Phennylalamine is an amino acid and the state of California has banned it .Do you think they took it out too?Please e mail me if allowed if bit leave a comment thx medicine

It is not wholly organic. It has undergone some processing, but it minimal in order to keep the integrity of the product.

Good morning Mr. Mel,Most of the reviews I see from 2015 are highly positive for this product. I am not aware of any change to the ingredients and having used the product myself the rodents around my place eat it and die.

I've had that concern, myself. There have been instances of me ordering facial care products from Ebay, etc., where the product itself has been fairly old. I'm please with what I received however, if there is a concern ... it might be best to order directly from the company itself. The products, since they're organic, probably do have a shorter shelf life.Hope this helped somewhat.

Sorry we missed this one! Sometimes Amazon notifies us with a question and sometimes they don't. In any case, another customer just brought this to our attention. We got an endorsement when we first developed this product back in 2007 and didn't realize we needed to update that on the site.. probably since the new FDA mandates went into effect in 2013. We are currently under review again and expect to be listed on the site at SkinDeep in the near future! We never put this on the bottles since there is so little room as it is.. :) Thanks, Deb @ Teva Skin

Customers have been complaining about this problem for several months. I had the same experience with an order at the end of July. I just called Nutramax to ask if they had gone back to their previous formula and they confirmed that they had. So, I'm going to order it again, but only when there's some assurance that the product being shipped is from replaced inventory, not the hard stuff.

I've checked the Neutrogena website religiously & can't find this product, nor can I find it anywhere else. It didn't show up on their site last yr either; so last yr I found a few bottles here on Amazon & bought them. Think I paid about $12.99 each, high but still worth it to me. Before I placed my order last yr I asked the seller for the expiration dates & the seller gave me dates of 2/14 & 5/15. When I got my order, those dates were correct & clearly marked on the bottles. I also haven't been able to find this item in stores for over2+ years; so my assumption is that it's discontinued. Too bad as it's the only sunscreen that didnt cause a reaction on my face. For me, the price listed here is too high. as it used to sell for the standard sunscreen price of between $7.99 - $9.99 a bottle. The fact that it doesn't contain any chemical sun blockers isn't what's causing this price of $21.99. It's the fact that u can't find it anywhere, combined w/the seller hoping a person will pay this price. (Hey, it's a free market). Last yr I noticed CVS had their own brand of this & the ingredients were similar, but not identical. Today I've just searched extensively online & still can't find this Neutrogena item (except here on Amazon); so I'll head 2 my local CVS & see if they still sell their genetic version.

I think mine is sometime in 2015, bought it in late October. The chemicals don't actually "expire" - they just become less potent over time and give less accurate results.

Apparently China was their # 1 customer until a false report re: a contamination was reported. I think China stopped buying at the time. I don't know whether that has changed or not. That may be why it is available to us now. I have been very satisfied with this product. I'm not a milk drinker but love it in coffee and make my yogurt with it and also use it in making bread.

Info says boric acid. There is no odor. Boric acid is non-toxic. Used for washing contacts and such. So if it meets fire specs, I wonder why everyone isn't using it. Mattress seems very good.

Probably a question best answered by Amazon, I have used this product for the last 2 years, and I am still very happy with it .Or perhaps you were just asking a rhetorical question ? Unfortunately I'm sure Many sellers do the same thing :-(

Wow - I didn't read that article. I used the product almost every day for a while. I hope that's not true. I will try to find out more information. Thanks for the warning.

I have the same concern and want to ask the seller about it. The jar if Derma e Hydrating Night Cream I just finished does not have hyaluronic acid in it.

Just buy empty capsules and fill them with the boric acid. I pour some on a piece of paper and just scoop it in and pour the extra boric acid back in the bottle. I do use an old applicator that I kept that came with monistat or generic equivalent.

I did not notice a year...where did you see that? I've received two bottles of Shalimar from this vendor and they have been fine so I am not sure what 2008 would mean. Maybe when it was bottled? Sorry that I am no help. Just know that I have tried different vendors and some hit the mark and others don't. This one hit the mark. :)

Hi Pen, I am a user and you right. Currently the front image is not having the label statement "Chemical-Free . pH Balanced"; the same in the label below. Also there is other change in the lowest label instead of saying "with Coconut Oil" now says "with KuKui Oil". That indicates that they changed the original formulation. I have still a bottle saying the original descriptions. Chemical-Free is the main reason for me to buy this product. While they keep guaranteed that this product is pH-balanced and continue having No SLS and Organic Ingredients also no animal or human cruelty tests I will continue buying it otherwise they will lose a great customer. Regards...
