what a waste

Just found..

 the mineral make-up I bought is toxic to my skin type.

 I used it for a day, and was satisfied with the coverage. I had sm rash on de face.  I was excited coz it was "talc-free", which is a known factor to make my skin itchy. Also had some redness to cover and I was impressed that it totally concealed.

Grrr.

Next day, my skin condition was worsened.   I thought it was a re-occurance of my rash from the day before.   It felt like I had a sunburn all over my face, but not itchy.

So, I did some investigating.  As a good consumer AND eczema patient, it is vital I find good products. A good site is http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/. A search-able database of toxic ingredients in cosmetic and personal care products. It also shows a score of its toxicity.

Turns out this product I used may contain includes a chemical called "bismuth oxychloride"  which has same properties of ARSENIC! Ew.
