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 :)

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!

I have Moroccanoil and regret buying it because it is crap. It's almost entirely silicone. Dousing your hair with silicone will look good in the short term but can damage your hair and scalp in the long term, something I've already done by foolishly purchasing and using loads of silicone laden products and am now in the process of trying to fix. There's only a small bit of oil in Moroccanoil which is absurd considering what they charge for it. Contrary to Ulta's faulty ingredient listing there is no silicone in Diamond Oil and that makes it MUCH better.

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.

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.

I feel like I am in chemistry class again. LOL... But to answer this I am ONLY giving my opinion and this is more a direct question for the manufacturer of this product which would be Chemical Guys. There are no lists of ingredients on the bottle that I have purchased but here is my opinion. Silane is of practical interest as a precursor to elemental silicon. So I can not answer if there is silane in "Black Light". As for the second part of your question, silica the dioxide form of silicon, SiO 2, occurring especially as quartz sand, flint, and agate: used usually in the form of its prepared white powder chiefly in the manufacture of glass, water glass, ceramics, and abrasives.I have not found that there are any forms of abrasives in "Black Light" therefore it follows under the class of a wax and not a polish or any form of rubbing compound even in it's lowest class of abrasiveness. "Black Light" comes with only application instructions and "In the event of an emergency" follow these set of Poison Control guidelines. I have been using this product for little over a year now and I use it as it is intended. As a finish to all that you can do to restore your original finish and with EXCEPTIONAL results I may add. If you simply follow the directions that Chemical Guys have set forth you will have unbelievable results. I hope this has helped you in a small way but again, if you contact Chemical Guys, I think they are bound by full disclosure on answering your question. I only wish I was more helpful to you.

We have conducted further research into this matter and have spoken further with our supplier and Albion. It appears that our supplier failed to list the following other ingredients in the supplement facts provided for our label: magnesium oxide, citric acid, maltodextrin, silica. These ingredients are part of the formula manufactured by Albion. They are not added in afterwards by our supplier. Nevertheless, it is required that they appear in the ingredients. We are very disappointed to learn that our labeling is incorrect. We will be closing our Amazon listing this week in order to have our product relabeled and the ingredients listed properly.

This products list all ingredients. Unfortunately for you, this has iodine (sodium) quite a bit.When you don't see ingredients on package, I ask the maker. They may not answer all details to protect business. But, if you ask if xxx is in it or not for specific reasons, they tend to answer.

I use it with Bare Minerals Bare Skin, but it's a liquid. I know that Bare Minerals works with their primer. I suppose you could try it (when you don't need to go anywhere) and see. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

In the list of ingredients, it says "Montmorillonite (a natural mineral silicate). 100% pure." I'm sorry, but I have yet to try it.

I purchased what I thought was bare minerals on amazon trying to save money. It was fake. As soon as I put it on I noticed the coverage was not the same at all. The color was off and my face started itching like crazy. I googled it and found this helpful site to determine that mine was counterfeit: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Bare-Escentuals-vs-Bare-Minerals-/10000000176613767/g.html

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 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".

Hi. I called the 1.800.877.8869 on the bottle and was told that the titanium dioxide has nano particles, but that they aretoo small to penetrate the skin.

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
