Evening All 
I dont know if this has been posted before, but I thought I better warn you.....
The OH decided to have the afternoon in the garden, and wanted some sun lotion, so i searched out some that we had left over from our hoilday last october.... 'Ambre Solaire Clear Protect Medium spf 20@, which is a transparent gel, anyways I left him to it, came back home a coule of hours later for him to be doing his 'Victor Meldrew' :rotfl:, he had put the lotion on the bits that were uncovered, and also put some on his face..... few minutes later he started feeling very odd, and a 'bit out of it'. He then read the back of the bottle, and it said that it wasnt too be used on the face as it contains 'alcohol' :eek: So of course its my fault! lol.... must admit I have never heard of anyone being tipsy on sun lotion :rotfl:
Shouldnt really laugh, as I suppose it could be dangerous, if applied to a child, so if this hasnt been posted before..... please make sure you read the directions on the back of all sun lotion just in case

Aww poor OH!
I have a live condition which means that even topical alcohol (such as perfume, skin toner etc) can make me ill and cause problems for me.
The other week a shower gel I got for my OH for excema made me ill (when I looked it turned out it had alcohol in it!).
So it makes sense that a sun cream containing it could have an effect, after all lots of medicines are given topically.I have realised I will never play the Dane!
Where are my medals? Everyone else on here has medals!!

Oh no that must be awful for you :eek: Well it will make me look twice now before I buy anything..... I feel a bit guilty now for laughing at him because he had missed doing up to his hairline, and now has a bright red streak :eek:
Thanks for pointing out tho that it may be found in other products.... I didnt even think..... still you learn something new everyday "I live my dream today, I lived it yesterday and I'll be living yours tomorrow":smileyhea

I think a lot of people are fine with alcohol in products and don't notice it at all but I am super sensitive and it doesn't make life fun sometimes!
I still forget to check and then discover to my cost later (ie the shower gel)
Alcohol is used more frequently than you'd think, and I can only wear perfume oils now. It took me years to realise it was my perfume that was making me feel ill all day after a night out!
Hope your OH feels better soon and don;t be too hard on yourself for laughing at him! my OH still giggles at me for having a hangover from shower gel! I have realised I will never play the Dane!
