I used to do hair and nails at a salon for about 5 years, this included paraffin dips, (for your hands) If you've had one you know how great they feel!!! The paraffin we use for hands comes in scented and unscented, I've never had anyone complain as far as a reaction to it not being skin safe. The only problem you can encounter with hand paraffin is if you are on medications, have diabetes, or have high blood pressure, you can actually have a massive heart attack, or you can get a serious infection ( if you have diabetes, along with an open wound) Keep all of this in mind the next time you are at your beauty salon. So all in all the paraffin at the salon is skin safe, unless you are medically impaired! HTH;)
