[khymm]

^ I use powder everyday jud sometimes with foundie pa gani hehe.. so its safe jud. but take not that some people jud have sensitive skin maski powder lang gani kay dili kauyon..

Talc is used by other cosmetic brands man pud, even the famous MAC Cosmetics has talc in some of their powders ex. Studio Fix..

If you think you have sensitive skin, mas nice if MMU nalang imo i-try para safe, but this doesn't mean dili pud ka ma-allergy, mas gamay nuon chance na ma-allergy

ako dili au ko tig mineral makeup kay messy man

yes, naa trial ang MMU usually in 1g size for php 100+.. pwede i-try lang nimo daan..

COSMETIC INGREDIENTS TO AVOID
Source: Makeup and Beauty.ie - The best Irish Make-up and Beauty Blog. Flawless Skin, Product Reviews, Tutorials, Celebrity Looks, Video Lessons

Here are some ingredients that are known to cause irritation, allergic reaction and in some cases they are linked to nerve damage and cancer. Scary stuff…


Mineral Oil (aka paraffinum liquidum): This is petroleum. It’s cheap and is currently widely available. This won’t be the case in the future. Mineral oil can lead to dry skin conditions.


Parabens Ethyl, Butyl, Methyl, Propyl, and Parahydroxybenzoate : A common preservative, lab made for cosmetics. This ingredient poses some serious health concerns, it mimics estrogen in the bloodstream and is linked to breast cancer (parabens were found in tumors) Although further testing is needed parabens they are known irritants.


Sodium Lauryl Sulphate: This is a detergent that causes foaming action in our shower gels and shampoos. It is extremely irritating and drying to the skin. The CIR are re-evuating its safety.


Diethanolamine & triethanolamine: These react with another chemical to form carcinogens (cancer causing). The FDA are currently investigating. Can cause eye irritation and allergic reactions. The CIR recommend using these only when they can be washed off, yet they are common ingredients in hand creams.


Propylene Glycol: Has been shown to cause allergic reactionl; dermatitis, eczema, hives…


Synthetic colours: Tests show that this is potentially carcinogenic. (FD&C or D&C on labels) These are regulated by the FDA but rather alarmingly the FDA have taken some of these off the market after further testing. They are currently testing the synthetic colours used in cosmetics today. When these colours are listed on the ingredients label they must be followed by a warning stating ‘For external use only’, the problem with that the skin absorbs them into the blood stream.


VA/PVP copolymer: Can be toxic when inhaled by sensitive people, causes lung irritation. Rats who ingested PVP developed tumors (gross animal testing people). Found in bronzers, eye makeup, and hair products.


Diazolidinyl Urea/Imidazolidinyl urea:These may release formaldehyde, known to be highly toxic. Studies also show that this is a major cause of dermatitis. Found in body powders, cleansers and soaps, lotions and moisturizers, make-up and make-up removers, shampoo, shaving products, fragrances.


Synthetic fragrances: Reactions include vomiting, coughing, dizziness, headaches, hyper-pigmentation, rash and other skin irritation.


As much as possible jud, i only use products that are unscented kay malipong jud ko if isog au ang scent! Hasta ang deodorants much better if unscented kay one factor pud na ang PARFUMS na makalagom sa UA..
