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 don't know about the nano-stuff, but I use Aromaleigh and the color I use does not have Bismuth Oxychloride in it.I've been using 1P and I just ordered the Alabaster and the Metamorphosis.www.aromaleigh.com

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...

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

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.

Tim, you may have to look elsewhere online for that info. I will say though, as a vitamin expert this is one of the finest mineral products I have ever used. Still using it. What makes it different is NOT the label, its the QUALITY which imho is superior to other brands.

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 was curious so I contacted Frontier. Here is their reply: Hi Jill, Thank you for contacting us! The bentonite clay powder we offer is a non-swelling, calcium type of bentonite. Our bentonite powder is for external use only, not intended for internal use. We have a cosmetic license for this product, not a food grade license as we market this product for use in a mask for skin care. If there is anything else we may help you with please don't hesitate to ask! Have a wonderful day! Best Regards, Deb Customer Care Frontier Natural Products Coop However, I tend to agree with Danielle and Anne. The company probably needs to protect themselves...

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.

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 don't have any right now, but if you get on the Institute for Vibrant Living website you can see the ingredients. I ordered two months supply of this for my husband because he has a severe case of arthritis in his wrist. He wasn't all that impressed with it and seems to get along better with triple strength osteo bi-flex that we get at Wal-Mart. Hope this helps you out.

Why won't they include an ingredients' list? That makes me suspicious right there. I don't think it is any kind of a business secret as someone wanting to make a competitive product would hire people to analyse the ingredients and identify them. I think they don't list the ingredients for consumers because they don't want us to know. And don't fool yourself that you there are no adverse effects when you use things like this.

Personally, I've read the ingredients & I don't see any corn or dairy productsbut then again, I'm not a chemist. By the way, I've been using it for a couple years now & have never experienced any allergic reactions to my very sensitive skin. Enjoy!
