Anyone else have reactions to Bath & Body Works products?

Does anyone else have negative physical reactions (headache, nausea, heart palpitations, etc.) from products from Bath and Body Works?

 

It seems lately that no matter what we buy from there: soap, lotion, perfume/body mist, even the hand sanitizer...all of it makes me literally want to hurl.

 

My DD used some of the hand sanitizer and just walked into the room. I can already feel my heartbeat quickening and my head feels like it's in a vise. I feel a need to flee like I'm on the verge of a panic attack.

 

What on earth do they put in their products that would make me feel like this?! :001_huh:

Their stuff makes me gives me an awful migraine. I can't even walk past store w/o feeling sick.

Their scents are way, way too heavy and artificial.

:iagree: We also have skin reactions to all of it.

I used to love their products when I was younger (plumeria or sweetpea, anyone?), but they bring on headaches and nausea now. The scents are very cloying and artificial-smelling now, at least to me.

Yes, both dh and I are really sensitive to their scents. I can't stand them now and used to shop there years ago.

yep. made dd's hands get all dry and scaly. We switched to soap pumps filled with about 1/4 castile soap and the rest water. Totally healed and no more dry hands.

Lots of people are sensitive to artificial fragrances, and theirs are particularly strong, I think. I absolutely can't have stuff like that around me.
