   Just to say thank you for this Tropic list(and this website as a whole). I had emailed you a few weeks ago asking about the Super Greens in which you kindly replied. I was so happy to see Tropic added to your brands. Thank you. X

     11: bidens pilosa

       Amy said:

       Thanks so much.
       It seems the ‘bidens pilosa’ wasn’t in the old formula of the eye dream but is now, which is a shame.

       Can I just clarify – in some of the products like the cleanser which used to be on the not safe list because they contained gluconolactone, this has been removed, but there is an ingredient called ‘sodium gluconate’ in the formula. Is this a similar derived ingredient? Is it still safe?

       Thank you

         Christine said:

         I’m currently of the opinion after some discussions with other docs that it’s too far removed and not something to worry about.
