The Bare Minerals broke my face out so I had to return it.I've used Everyday Minerals (everydayminerals.com) for a month, and just love it! It's also about half the cost of the BE. The Everyday does NOT have the bismuth chloride in it. They have a free sample kit ($3.97 postage) that's fantastic. Do try the Everyday. The lighter shades run really light, BTW.

I too am concerned about ingredients, particularly the use of paraben preservatives after the '04 Japanese study showing increased aging of the skin when exposed to sunlight after a tiny amount of paraben (a preservative in most cosmetics) was included. Bare Escentuals says they are preservative free, but a list of the ingredients in Mineral Veil says that they use both Methylparaben and Propylparaben in that. Any insights?

About a year ago when I started using mineral makeup, I did not buy Bare Minerals because of the bismuth oxychloride. I had a mild reaction to it, and I did not like the shiny, unnatural glow it gave my face. Now I use Afterglow Cosmetics (www.afterglowcosmetics.com) and silk powder makeup from Aubrey Organics (www.aubrey-organics.com, search: silk powder). They are amazing. Try them for yourself, and I think you'll feel better about what you are putting on your skin.

"Nano damage" is very real. Particulate size is very important in measuring air quality. Particles 2.5 microns and smaller are considered fine particles. Nanoparticles are smaller than this and can enter the lungs. It's not "pseudo" at all and more important than complex interactions with traces of other things.

Bare Escentuals foundation does contain Bismuth- it's listed in the BE website under the product.

May Contain: Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides Hope this helps :)

Hmmm not sure about the unwanted minerals, but I do know I use this stuff all the time and I love it and when you wash it off your face feels so soft. I know there are minerals in the clay but as far as I know these are good for your face. If someone else finds something different than that, I would be surprised. I hope the information I have given you helps in some way

The only ingredients listed are silica and detergent because they are possible irritants to the eyes. Other than that, no ingredients are listed.

Ancient Minerals is 100% pure magnesium. You can buy it in various forms: oil (which is not oil at all, not oily. It is so pure and gentle, you can not only massage your muscles with it, but you can use it as eye drops or a mouthwash); flakes, good to put into warm bath water to take a long soak; or a gel rub with the magnesium in a tube that you can carry with you. I bought all 3 forms. I have had a serious back injury for 14 years and live in pain because I don't want the surgery that will correct the pinched nerves, etc. So, when I can't bear the pain, I run my tub about 1/2 full of warm water and put 1/2 bag of flakes in it to dissolve, then soak for 20-30 minutes. When I get out, I absolutely have NO pain. (I just wish I had the money to be able to buy enough of it to do a couple of times every week, so I limit myself to using it unless I'm in unbearable pain). I just can't say enough good about this product. I learned about it by reading hundreds of hours of research on line provided by a doctor in Brazil named Dr. Sircus. The detailed information he provides is priceless, and he shares all the products he uses, their benefits, prices, and where you can buy them. Through him, I found out that magnesium is only 100% absorbable through the skin, not orally. I don't think many people know that, so they buy magnesium pills, which don't even do any good. Well, I hope I have helped you some. There is a lot to learn. All the best. Barbara Fisher

I totally agree with Lizzy. I am a Nanny, girls in my care received this product for their 3rd birthday. They absolutely love the Sands Alive, but I have concerns for product ingredients, as the ingredients are not listed on the box which we do still have, all that is stated is "Note-Sands Alive! is made from all natural, organic materials and can vary slightly in color and texture." This product is U.S. Patent but Made in South Korea with a Foreign patents pending as stated on the box as well. So let's say one of the children in my care develops an allergy or somehow it is ingested maybe not intentionally but because the product is on their hands or gets into their eyes and child has to be taken to the hospital, what would we tell poison control or the emergency room and I have researched on line, there are no answers to be found about the chemical compounds or ingredients. Is this something parents really want their children to be playing with, I feel the product needs more disclosure information.

I am an environmental specialist and I have been taking this product for about 1 year now. I get what you are saying about the metals. The only advice I can offer is to follow the directions and not drink it undiluted. The levels are safe when consuming a healthy diet that will help to expel any harmful toxins. I also take chlorella and bentonite clay which greatly helps to remove toxins and metals from the body. I hope very much this helps a little. If you still have questions ask your doctor. They might be able to answer more thoroughly. Also, I put this in my diy toothpaste and it has helped to remineralize my teeth.

Titanium Dioxide is the only one I see in the ingredients list, it does not specify a percentage. I'm allergic to chemical sunscreens, so I checked before buying this, as well.

If you go to the Rocky Mountain products site, they have links for ingredients lists for each of their formulas. Cut and paste the address below into your browser (for some reason I couldn't create a link here). Hope you can use their products, they make great stuff. My husband has a lot of allergies and has been very happy with the SPF 30 and SPF 50 broad spectrum products. http://www.rmsunscreen.com/productspecs.aspx

I looked at the label and it lists titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. I see no chemical sunscreen ingredient on the label. I'm very sensitive to the chemical sunblocks and the Eclipse formulation causes me no problems. I am on my second tube.
