A member asked:
So i apply a lot of facial moisturiser to my upper lip each day. was wondering if it's bad to ingest and swallow this as i taste it each time.

Usually ok: Most moisturizers are non-toxic because they are absorbed by your skin anyway. If you are concerned, you can always look at the ingredients or contact the company.
