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. The mineral veil does not contain parabens- not sure where Heather found her ingredient list but this is copied from the BE site under mineral Veil spf 25: Titanium Dixoide, Zea Mays (Corn Starch), Corn Starch Modified, Zinc Stearate, Silica, Magnesium Stearate. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides Hope this helps :)

It's iodine crystals mixed with purified water, it takes a day or two to dissolve and I don't remember the potassium iodide is probably a crystal also. I'll get you the website, wait....http://www.acu-cell.com/sni.html ... it's not the site I was looking for but most of them write about tablets (iodoral?), not liquid. This site has loads of information. I think it's considered inorganic but not synthetic. I'm not a biologist or geologist but it's natural enough for me. Another lady asked me where it's derived from and she has no results on her drug dosage so far but she could also have other factors like too much bromine, technical stuff, not enough magnesium on and on.. it's part of a cure not a cure all by itself. Of course doctors won't scan your whole nutrition profile so we're on our own but especially since it says after the thyroid the bosums take the rest of the iodine uptake so I doubt there's a high probability of overdosing on it either. I'd been using about five drops a day and go onto my next health regiment. I alternate with a lot of stuff. Now I'm on an herb kick. I don't think there's any problem with lugols. Check earthclinic.com also they have tons of health stories by real people and a lot on lugols too.

I don't know why 0ne product has calcium in it and the other one doesn't. I'm not aware of this issue. It may be a question for a company representative regarding the issue. The body does need calcium and the intake daily body requirement maybe should be addressed by a medical Dr. or nutritionist.

That is the only ingredient in it. It isn't like other allergy pills that have multiple ingredients. I have used this for years, and everyone that has taken them, have not had reactions. I really recommend this.

I have the same question! AMAZON! Get it together: Anything with ingredients should list them; there are obscure ingredients that people are sometimes allergic to, or sensitive to, or just have their own reason for not wanting to use. Could we please have ALL INGREDIENTS LISTED??!? I could just drive over to the Ho' Depot, and read the label, but not everyone can. C'mon!

The label says Made of 100% minerals. Tate's the Natural Miracle Odorless Nail Polish Remover has no dyes, no gluten, no iodine, no glycols, no sulfates, no parabens no phosphates, no pesticides, no animal testing and no fragrance. I have used this for years and my nails are fine. I am highly allergic to chemicals in most products and especially acetone. That is why i bought Tate's. I was nervous to try this but it has never caused even a hint of trouble for me.

just wanted to share what i was recently told about this product. my bff was told about it by the owner of a store she was in. the owner was a cancer survivor, who discovered the product after undergoing chemo and losing her lashes. being a cancer patient, she was concerned about the ingredients as well and had the product checked out by MD Anderson. she was told that it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients.

Water, Plycarin, Sodium Silicate,Soap,Fragrance. It could icause irritation with prolonged use for people with sensitive skin. It does not seem to bother me.

I don't know if it has been tested for unwanted minerals, but since clay is a absorber type material and not a release type of material, personally I would not be as concerned. Heavy metals should be a concern in the food we eat and the water we drink, but I doubt they would be absorbed into the skin, since this is a clay product. Taken internally or in contact with a mucus membrane, could be a different story. The label states this clay has the highest content of silica, magnesium, potassium, calcium and because of it's extraordinary absorption qualities it can be used as a detoxifier cleanser, skin conditioner, shampoo, facial and body mask. I use it with organic rose water for a clay facial mask. it really helps to clarify pores. I find mixing it with organic rose water on my mature skin it is not too drying but of course I avoid the delicate skin of the eye area and follow up with organic oil of some type. Hope this helps you some.

I totally agree with this person's frustration because if i had known in advance what are the "Other Ingredients" listed on the bottle (that i became aware of only after opening my package), i would definitely not have bought this brand. Here are the "Other Ingredients": Microcrystalline Cellulose, Vegetable Cellulose, Silica, Dicalcium Phosphate, Vegetable Magnesium Stearate, Titanium Dioxide, Vegetable Glycerin. Titanium Dioxide might make their tablets a whiter white, but it's sure not something i wish to ingest every day, and two rather large tablets--not one--is the serving size. Silica is another ingredient i'd rather not ingest daily.

Been using bare minerals for so many years I can't remember. I live in the desert too. No problems.
