toppik concerns

[rossnrs]

Are there any dangers of breathing in toppik? It has silica in it. Isn't that dangerous to breath in long term. I've used toppik in the past and I wouldn't try to breath it in, but it would stick inside my nose and I couldn't get it out even when blowing my nose. I tried to hold my nose when applying the stuff but that wouldn't help much. The stuff would continue to dry out my nose. Can I sleep with the stuff on when I go to bed. The stuff flakes off and I know I'll be breathing it in. Am I the only one who's had this problem from the toppik?
Maybe I'm being paranoid but I don't want to try this stuff again and use it long term to find out it's harmful.

silica is good for you...its found in many vegetables. I dont know what your worried about...It does seem odd that silica is in toppik though.

rossnrs,

I just started using Toppik a couple of weeks ago. While pleased with the results, I was also concerned that it was getting in my nostrils after applying. However, I have had no problems later in the day or at night. Nor have I noticed any fibers on my pillows.

Now I apply they product in another room while holding my breath. I then proceed to the bathroom to do my primping. This seems to have alleviated the problem. Plus the excess fibers fall unnoticably into the carpet instead of trashing my sink area.
