All about organic makeup
Foundation, lipstick, powders, eyeliner, eye shadows ... Natural and eco-friendly cosmetics are numerous but still more difficult to find than conventional cosmetics.
Companies offering a full range are slowly entering the market. Among the certified manufacturers (Cosmebio Charter ORGANIC and ECO), we can find the marks Weleda or Dr. Hauschka. In France, the Couleur Caramel brand has specialized in make-up.
Manufacturers of natural cosmetics make it a point of honor that their formulations contain the maximum of caring substances, although makeup products are not designed for their care. Powder, eye shadows, foundations, etc. fulfill their "aesthetic" function as well, but must be free of ingredients that are harmful to the skin.
For natural makeup, the basic rule is to use only dyes and natural ingredients. Thus, well-defined dyes go into their composition. Those classified as potentially dangerous remain taboo. The color range is based on a limited range of choices compared to that of the conventional cosmetics industry, but creativity remains the key word for a variety of shades.
If before the makers of natural makeup only had iron oxides and some natural dyes, many producers today developed a wide range of colors. This allowed to widen the choice of the colors for the powders, the lipstick, mascaras, eyeliner and other eye shadows and formulate more modern products such as gloss.
Manufacturers of natural cosmetics use only natural ingredients for the bases of their make-up products (emulsions for foundations, bases for powders or lipstick). With regard to foundations and lipstickit is above all high quality oils: jojoba, almond, apricot kernel. Some of the best natural ingredients for powders are silk proteins and Lauroyl Lysine.
Natural make-up products appear as an alternative to conventional products, especially for people who are hypersensitive or suffering from allergies to dyes, or who simply want beauty products that only use substances authorized in label specifications.
The advantage of these products lies in the fact that they give up the use of azo dyes and other problematic compounds. The reverse of the medal lipstick and the powders contain no synthetic ingredients and especially no silicone, their use is a little different: lipstick hold a little less well and some powders are less easy to spread.
