My uncle took thalidomide for late stage cancer. ANY person of child bearing age in the family other than myself could NOT handle that medication AT ALL, due to the risk of birth defects. That's TOUCHING the medication, not taking it. I got to handle the medication because I myself am on category X medications so it was not a risk for me as I can not legally bear children.
For more hair related, I have increased shedding with some hair products, which means it's in the hair root, which means it's past the skin. PPD goes into your system. You use henna to dye your hair, many people report grayish urine after for a while.
If you put ANYTHING on your skin, it MAY get into your system. Which is all I need to not use sunflower oil.
ktani, do you have a list of the oils that have ceramides? The earlier link isn't working for me, sorry!
