Mineral Makeup - Andrea

[Guest guest]

Hey Andrea,

I too use mineral foundation, Including two of the ones you mentioned,

plus many other lines. I would bet we frequent the same delphi group,

If so you would know me as Camellia

My concern with that line is the ingredient lavender not the rest of

the ingredients. The reason I am concerned, is according to Martin's

article lavender is not good to use after 6 months. The reason for

this is that linalool hydroperoxide has been found to be a sensitising

agent. Now it is possible this affect could be stopped or slowed down

with the use of vitamin e she does have listed in the foundation also.

I will post a link that Martin Watt wrote about using old Lavender,

maybe this will clear up why I am concerned about it. But No! I

definitely don't have a problem using mineral makeup! LOL In fact I

loooooove it, and in the process of making my own makeup - which I

also bought a kit from Monave (highly recommended!)

Here is the link to Martin's Article on lavender

Be well,
