Review title is High Expectations [SEP] After reading a lot of the reviews and purchasing this cream that is paraben and phthalate free... I did have pretty high expectations considering my medical office owns the formula for a very similar cream with colloidal silver as a primary marketing ingredient. Unfortunately our cream is mineral oil based, which definitely has its pros and cons so I have decided to no longer use it myself.<br />I purchased this cream recently, and was very excited to use it. After the first few days I did come to realize the most dominant ingredient based on consistency, texture, and smell was the emulsifying wax. It feels like wet creamy wax - which is slightly bizarre and off-putting. The worst thing is it smells very much like wax. I wanted to use this on my face but wax will definitely clog up pores.<br />Looks like my search continues.
