Sebamed

I was roaming Costco with Youngest Daughter and I guess it was demo day, the ends of every aisle were packed with vendors wanting to stuff you with their fried greasy foods.  I avoid them like the plague!  Honestly, if the smell is of death, why do people flock to free food?  Gag!  And there was this booth set up with something called Sebamed.  So, I stopped and read their signage.

A German company apparently offering a line of soaps, rinses, lotions and other skin care products.  Whatever, I really had no interest.  But, that demo lady had me squirted with her lotion faster than a rattlesnake on a rat!

I was about to complain ... but the lotion was soaking into my skin!  Before my very eyes, it was soaking in!  What the heck?  All lotions: Nivea, Noxema, J&J Intensive Care, a host British goo - does not matter, they literally just sit on my skin!  Even baby lotion will not absorb on me!  I used to use that one in my bicycle racing days as lubricant for when I would crash!  Just slide and not get all torn up!  Don't laugh, it works.

Do you know how frustrating it is to be told you have to moisturize your leg and foot and NOTHING will soak into your skin?  Yeah, one of my many Native American traits from my mother's Indian heritage - small pores and darn few of them at that!  I can not even open the plastic produce bags at the grocers - no pores - no sweat on hands - no open bags.  Sometimes if the sprayers are on I can get my hands wet and then open the bag.  (see, fun test for you see how much NA is in your heritage, next time you are at the grocers.  Yes, I have seen NAs able to open those bags but they have European pores it seems!)  I just jokingly call this White Man's Revenge ... a frustrating task for an NA.

So, here was a lotion able to soak into my skin?  I tried some more, it absorbed as well.  So, Mr Foot is going to get a mighty good greasing very shortly!

Ingredient wise, there appears to be nothing in the lotion which occurs in nature other than Chamomile flowers and water.  So, I am not sure why this can be absorbed my my skin, where all others fail.  Very odd to me at least.

You can find Sebamed on online, at COSTCO and no doubt coming to Amazon.Com.  A quick check shows that Amazon is $3.00 more expensive than COSTCO was yesterday.
