I am looking for information concerning the safety of using self tanning creams and lotions while breastfeeding. Hale does not include the ingredients (listed below) because they are not medications, and I have not been able to find any references in the Lactnet archives. Some of them are obviously OK - like the water  - but I am not sure about others. This particular cream is by Coppertone and is called *Endless Summer.*

water
cyclopentasiloxane
Propylene glycol
isopropyl laurate
polyglyceryl-4 isostearate
cetyl dimethicone copolyol
hexyl laurate
sodium chloride
fragrance
diazolidinyl urea
dimethicone copolyol
oligomeric diamiinoalkyl siloxane
lactic acid
phenoxyethanol
isopropylparaben
isbutylparaben
mica
iron oxides
dihydroxyacetone

Please email me personally as well responding to the list.

TIA, norma
