First time I purchased this tape a few years ago, it seemed fine and there were no issues. The second time I bought it was a few of months ago, and recently I had to use a small piece on my forehead. It caused allergic dermatitis on my upper eyelid of my left eye. I didn't figure it out straight away, I was sure it was due to the new sunscreen or the formula change in my regular dry shampoo, so I stopped using them just in case. Yesterday I used Nexcare tape again, and now there's allergic dermatitis on my right eye. The tape is clearly the issue here.

I didn't actually realize Nexcare is made by 3M, a large conglomerate that contaminated half of USA with PFAS and supplied PFAS containing foam to Fire Rescue Victoria, which has caused severe health effects for many firefighters, and of course 3M are currently trying to avoid accountability. I'm not implying PFAS might be used in the Nexcare tape, it just shows the ethics of this company. I'm sure there are many other wonderful chemicals 3M don't mind using if it can make their products more appealing.

Purchased in at Priceline.

Does NOT Stick To Damp Skin – This tape absolutely does NOT stick to sweaty or damp skin!! Even if you stick on dry skin if you get the slightest bit of sweat or moisture it just comes straight off.
