Preservatives In Skincare

In some products, preservatives are absolutely necessary and the product would be dangerous without them, and in others they are not necessary. Preservatives in skincare have been found to impact the skin microbiome. Harmful preservatives include dmdm hydantoin, parabens, phenoxyethanol, BHT, BHA, quaternium 15, diazolindyl urea.

Foundation

Many natural foundations either lack coverage, appear caked on, look too flat and matte or too oily and shiny. True skin surpasses expectations for a non-toxic foundation and is more enjoyable to wear than conventional coveted foundations.

Eyeliner

Non toxic eyeliner is high on the priority list since it often gets into your eyes. Finding a natural liquid eyeliner with enough pigment and staying power is a challenge. Many eyeliners get their deep black pigment from unsafe ingredients like carbon black or D&C Black #2. Carbon black is color made from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. It is toxic, possibly carcinogenic, and the FDA has even found carbon black unsafe for cosmetics used around the eyes. Instead of using harmful dyes, Expressionist uses natural iron oxides as a colorant.
