How Arimis made it to the personal section while still having a cow on it for years.
Personally i grew up using Arimis on my body...My mum referred me to the cow shade where the jelly was placed ....Even nowadays many people use the jelly on their bodies despite it having a cow image on its tin...
ARIMI means {Farmers}, To the Image {Cow},,To the original intended use {Milking Jelly}
The key components in milking jellies is petrolatum and water. Petrolatum is a by-product of petroleum refining .
"It is cheaper than petroleum jelly and because of pricing people in rural areas started using it before it spread. You know Kenyans are an innovative lot but I don’t think milking jelly has any poisonous component but it is up to dermatologists to tell us,” said Othieno a twitter follower.
I apply it after the lotion to lock in moisture, then I wipe the excess lightly with a lesso. My legs look fine,” said Jocelyn Murgor while contributing to the debate. “I started using it when I was in high school. Now I’m 45 years but I look 15,” said Christine Mwogora another follower.
From twitter ,Dr Hosea Waweru, a dermatologist however advised that although using milking jelly as a cosmetic product is not harmful to the skin, those with skin sensitive to sunlight should not use it.
“It is made from unrefined petroleum jelly and people whose skins react when exposed to sunlight will register some side effects,” he said.
“None of my patients have said they developed issues after using milking jelly,” he added.
Nevertheless, some users of milking jellies have argued that the manufacturers should brand them into human cosmetic products. Others maintain it should retain its original form.
Its Mostly used by Ladies in Kenya!!
