Getting the scoop on what's really inside your makeup.
A few years ago, there were all sorts of frightening rumors about what was in your makeup. Unfortunately, while the truth is not necessarily all that frightening, it is a little less exciting than urban myths. For the most part, makeup is made of completely safe and even regulated materials. That doesn't mean that everything about makeup is safe for everyone.
What should you be on the lookout for in your makeup? You're about find out.
Animals
While there are now plenty of animal-free options, some makeup manufacturers continue to include animal products in their products. Though many people have no qualms over this practice, others do. If you want to avoid products that use animal product, carefully read the label on your makeup of choice. Don't feel you get the answers you need? Call or e-mail the company directly and get answers to your questions.
Additionally, some products are tested on animals before being put on the market. And while their labels may insist the product is not currently tested on animals (“cruelty free”), the same product may have been tested on animals previously. If you don't support companies that perform animal testing or did at one time perform animal testing, you'll have to pick up the phone to find out whether your products were ever tested on non-human critters.
