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.

In the Faux Tan what are all the ingredients. Is the dark color from walnut oil? Please let me know.

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 :)

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.

Water is a "chemical" technically but I guess you mean "harmful chemicals" and the listed ingredients read well enough (Phenoxyethanol is controversial but any product with water has to have a preservative) The bigger problem is this brand has other products that are obviously missing certain ingredients and only list good ones so I do not trust "Pure Body Naturals" to have honest ingredients lists.

I'm considering getting these as an alternative to Zyrtec. Someone earlier indicated the inactive ingredients include titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide is an additive to make things "white", without dyes. It's what is added to make Oreo cookie creme white...

This is natural. I have to havwe every thing organic. I have severe allergies and do not have a problem using this product. I don't know what the nano-particle means but this is super fine micronized. Particle size is 200nm. Hope this helps.

I chose this brand because it was recommended by DR. OZ because I believe the ingredients are non toxic. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are the active ingredients. They provide a clear sunscreen due to the active ingredients as opposed to other more toxic white sunscreens that are actually just a white reflective coating for your skin. I have used this on my face for well over a year and highly recommend it.

The two products have totallydifferent ingredients (BFI Powder: boric acid, magnesium carbonate, talc, bismuth formic iodide, bismuth subgallate, zinc phenolsulfonate, potassium alum, thymol, menthol, eucalyptol; Columbia Powder: zinc oxide and phenol). Having said that, and not knowing the purpose that you want it for, I can say that both my wife and I swear by Columbia Antiseptic powder for virtually all our skin problems. It seems to cure allergic reactions, heat rashes, contact dermatitis and other skin problems in just a day or so. The only problem we have with it is that it's rather expensive, and very few people carry it. Thank God, Amazon does.

Im afraid I dont know what no nano is. The lotion is the same consistency as other lotions. You cannot feel the particles at all. It is a great product, if yoiu want a total sun block. I have used it for two years now, after having one malignant melonoma and wanted more than a screening product.

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

There are several ingredients, you can find them by going to their web site. It is safe for contact wearers,and I haven't had a reaction to it.This is my second tube, it works great.

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.

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.

I just made some sunscreen on Thursday. And yet I have no idea if it's non nano. Is there a contact number on your "spicy world" product? You should investigate why it's not "natures oil".

The package only states that it is minerals. If you have sensitive skin I would not recommend this product. To me it is like any drying face mud feels very refreshing. It has always been a favorite product of mine.

There are no ingredients listed on the packaging or the bottle. And, there are no ingredients listed on their website. I have been using this product for approximately 1 month and I love it. It smells wonderful, goes on very smoothly and has not given my any issues with breaking out (which, even at 58 I still do). I am unable to use some OTC beauty products due to allergies and have never had an issue with these products.
