AllergiesUpdated a year ago

Herbs and plants can trigger side effects and can interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, you should take herbs with care, under the supervision of a health care provider.

Calendula:

Calendula is generally considered safe to use on your skin. DO NOT apply it to an open wound without a doctor's supervision. People who are allergic to plants in the daisy or aster family, including chrysanthemums and ragweed, may also have an allergic reaction to calendula (usually a skin rash).

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not use calendula. In theory, calendula could interfere with conception, and possibly cause miscarriage, so couples trying to get pregnant should not use calendula.

There are no known scientific reports of interactions between calendula and conventional or herbal medications. In theory, taking calendula orally may interact with medications, so talk to your doctor before combining medications with calendula. 

Propylene glycol:

Between 0.8 and 3.5% of people are allergic to propylene glycol (1% included in My Girls and My Guys Skin Care cream). In this case, a rash may develop in sensitive people when their skin comes into contact with products that contain it, such as shampoo or moisturizer.  For more information, please consult resources below:
