It prevents the bugs from doing their thing and they end up dying. Your advice on the booster was spot on. From what I understand and have read in studies (and I am not a chemist, which is why I hang out here to learn from them) without the booster the LAE gets tied up clinging to other things and can’t attack the germs so they proliferate. </div><div>
</div><div>My testing items have held up beautifully and one of my testers showed me how after just a week her acne has cleared up significantly. I actually stumbled upon something about using it in deodorant. I will find it for you and post it. </div><div>
</div><div>Thank you again for all your help. If you would like a small sample of LAE to experiment with let me know and I will gladly share. It’s the least I can do for the kindness you have shown me and many others in sharing your knowledge. </div>-
