list, the pH and the type of reaction you had in the worksheet.
2. Take as many products you didn’t have a reaction to as possible and

compare their ingredients lists to the one on the worksheet. Cross out all
ingredients the products have in common.
3. If you’re already down to 1 ingredient, good job! Write it down in the field
below and avoid all products with this ingredient.
4. If the list still has a lot of ingredients, try out a new product. If you have
no reaction to the new product, repeat step 2), if you do have a reaction
to it, circle the overlapping ingredients and write them in the field below
