I bought this lemon bath and shower gel because it has no parabens or other harsh preservatives and is made with 100% vegetarian ingredients and no animal testing. Sounds good eh?
Then I read the ingredients.
The longest word EVER is listed on there: babassuamadopropalkonium chloride. What the? I took organic chemistry and have no idea what babassublahblahblah is. Sounds scary though. And I'm going to apply it to my parts in the shower? Eek!
Hmm. Turns out that it's a mild conditioner made from ammonium compounds obtained from natural babassu oil. Well, I need conditioning in a bad way.
Guess I'll go babassu-me now. Hopefully I won't need to babassue them!

That alkonium chloride part looks bad to me. We used to use benzyl alkonium chloride to sterilize solutions for medical instruments, and I know that it is an agaeside. Your parents don't want you using too much of that stuff (sterilizing effect). Really, unless, of course, you have a severe algae problem that you aren't sharing with your blogger friends!!!!!
You may be right... not about me having a algae problem, ahem, but perhaps it is some sort of antibacterial?
Although, I haven't had any algae growing on me lately to speak of... hmmm.
