Question

Rabbi Abadi, I thought no hand cream on shaboss but you say suntan lotion is ok. Am I wrong? Is hand cream ok? Thanks very much and I enjoy your site. Jeff

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

medicine is not OK, suntan lotion is not medicine. If the hand cream is a medicine it would be a problem. AA
