In spending more time with my boyfriend, I’ve learned that I have to look carefully at the products I use. I’ve already tried to cut down on my usage of perfume, to the point where sometimes don’t use it when I know we’re going to see each other. I also switched to an allergen-free toothpaste. Now, we’re being even more careful.
It turns out that soybean oil is relatively common in beauty products. I bought a bottle of some “olive oil” hair treatment to help with my winter dry scalp, and found that the first ingredient was in fact soy. I was also looking at BioOil (that seemingly miracle alternative to Mederma for scars and stretch marks) and soy is in that too.

The worry is that although the soy wouldn’t be ingested, there is still a risk of the allergens being left on the hand and then getting carried to the mouth. This was the issue with the condoms and now it’s starting to pop up more and more with other products. Curses!
