*************************
Remember, Some people are allergic to nuts.
If you are allergic to nuts, do not use any oils or creams that contain any type of nuts , which include almonds!
Unfortunately,
the cosmetic industry does not state this
on the outside of their
commericalized containers in stores. If you are allergic to
peanuts, do not use this paste! You may end up with
horrible hives or worse. I learned this the hard way! I can use the paste, but my daughter, who is allergic to nuts, cannot..she broke out in the worst case of hives
