What Are The Side Effects Of DML?

Do you have any recommendations for a moisturizer and face cream without harmful/toxic chemicals and fragrance free. Also, some plant fragrances bother me. I am extremely sensitive. I am currently using a moisturizer (DML) and noticed that it contains magnesium aluminum silicate which I think is harmful to my body. Thank you for your help.

The purpose of moisturizing creams is to stabilize the regular skin hydration. Aloe vera is a good moisturizer and it has no side effects. The gels of aloe vera are rich in amino acids, polysaccharides and mineral salts, among others. They have anti-inflammatory effects and form moisture-retaining films on the skin
Advice
1.     Apply Elovera cream in face at bed time for 3 months
2.     Stop DML moisturizer
3.     Try to avoid use of unbranded cosmetics unnecessarily
4.     Wash your face with good quality oil-based face wash
5.     Do not use general soap for washing your face
6.     Try to avoid dry and humid environment
Thanks
