What's In Your Lipstick?
Although I am not a vegan, and honestly, we could be putting worse things on our lips then bugs. The allergy part intrigued me, as I have been allergic to some makeup colors, and after looking for the ones that bothered me, they all had carmine listed as an ingredient. So, this made me wonder are there any Eco-friendly, carmine free cosmetics I should consider to see if there was a difference? The search was not that easy, but I was able to find Carmine Free sites/products.
Please see below some of the best carmine free lipsticks.
- Dose Of Colors: This brand creates cruelty-free cosmetics that are user friendly, functional and always on trend.
- Aveda's Uruku Lip Pigment: This collection features products derived from organically grown Uruku Seeds.
- Alba TerraGloss: This company features a lot of products, including some naturally tinted lip products.
- All-Natural Natural Cosmetics: This website listed all kinds of goodies, including gluten-free, fragrance-free, carmine free, and more!
- 100% Free: All of their cosmetics are colored from antioxidant-rich fruit and vegetable pigments.
- Kiss My Face: This company has been around for over 30 years, and their products are made from the finest ingredients from mother nature.
Well that's disgusting ...But maybe not disgusting enough for me to give up my love of red lipstick lol
ReplyDeleteToo Funny!
DeleteI am also have allergies , I want to know what is in everything .
DeleteOh my thanks so much! I really don't care if bugs are on my lips, heck they are probably safer then other man made items. But I'm allergic to alot of reds, and I wonder if I'm allergic to the carmine?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try one of those sites you suggested and see if there is a difference. I'm so excited... Can't thank you enough for your continued bits!
Most certainly and thanks for commenting. I too was allergic to red dyes and this is what prompted the post. There are some great alternative options, so let me know if you find any you like. I hope you find out or at least find another alternative.
DeletePoor beetles because they are going to be crushed. I thought some makeup revealed that there is no animal testing on their products. Maybe I should check the ingredients of the lipsticks that I am going to use. I only know that human heart nature has eco-friendly products. I will check the sites that you have suggested because it is alarming to know that insects are being used on a product.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting facts. It's scary to think what they put in cosmetics and things these days, its impossible to avoid these.I'm vegetarian and try go for products that are not animal tested as much as I can, but unfortunately its so easy to pick things up without realising.
ReplyDeleteLovely blog - following.

Thanks for the comments. It is tricky to know whether this is an added ingredient as it's not listed as bugs... Anywho, I checked out your blog it's great! Love the name too!

I have allergies to certain reds, and I bet this is it. Although I am not a vegetarian, bugs are things I prefer to find on the ground not on my lips! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMost certainly! The allergen part is what people really need to consider, helps save money too!
DeleteUntil next time,

ReplyDeleteThanks for the such information from next will look over the ingredient before I buy a lipstick.
Barbara: After our conversation this week - I'm so glad to see you post this! VERY helpful! Maybe, just maybe I can start wearing make-up again! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI read an article online which say lipstick contains pig fat and now bugs after reading such things i doesn't fell like using lipstick. Any ways thank you for mentioning Carmine Free products I will definitely look into it.
