I have been concerned lately about all the chemicals in face and skin creams, so I am slowly switching over to more natural ingredients, such as jojoba butter and oils for moisturizers.

I also read an article yesterday about sleeping pills such as Ambien, Sonata and Lunesta increasing the risk of certain types of cancer. Very scary.

Eucerin has been around forever and is always recommended by dermatologists.

I think what happened here is -- these mice are specially bred to develop cancer, so they are susceptible to most things that wouldn't bother any other living creature. I'm willing to bet that if they spread the same amount of these creams on "normal" field mice, nothing would happen.

Bah, everything causes cancer these days according to research. Just enjoy living life and use what works for you.
