September 1, 2022<\/span><\/p>\n

By Lisa Petrison<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Just over the past year or two, a number of companies have released new cleaner powder eyeshadow formulas that seem to me a whole lot better than the vast majority of those that were available in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of these new products seem much easier to apply as well as less likely to emphasize the wrinkles and other textural issues of the skin in my eye area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although I still don’t use eyeshadow every day, I have been feeling increasingly that spending a few seconds putting some on can be pretty effective in terms of helping my eyes to look less puffy and more awake.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have found that using taupe or other moderately dark shadow – carrying it well above the natural crease – seems to be especially enhancing to my own maturing eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing that I have personally found especially helpful is watching videos from certain YouTubers focusing on how older women can apply eyeshadows in an optimal way for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of my favorite YouTube channels that often deal with this topic include\u00a0Dominique Sachse,<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Hot & Flashy,<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Lisa Eldridge<\/strong><\/a> and Lisa J.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Note that while I often use two or three colors of shadows on my eyes, I mostly have stayed with neutral shades and don’t feel all that qualified to comment on the “color stories” (combinations of colors) provided in larger eyeshadow palettes.<\/span><\/p>\n

My comments here instead mostly focus on the formulas of the products, in terms of how they have performed for me as well as the ingredients used.<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of this product reads, “Our pressed eye shadows are colored with vibrant, vitamin-rich fruit pigments and natural mineral shimmer for gorgeous, long-lasting color payoff.”<\/span><\/p>\n

I have the Fruit Pigmented Rose Gold Palette<\/strong><\/a> from 100% Pure and therefore have had a chance to try three of their eyeshadows shades (as well as two other powder products that also could be used on the eyes).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As has been my experience with almost all the 100% Pure makeup products that I have tried, I have found the formula of the product to be very nice but the colors to not work very well for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

While fruit pigments may be cleaner than either minerals or synethics, for the most part the resulting colors that I have seen so far have not been very appealing to me (or perhaps just are so unfamiliar that my eyes are reading them as unappealing).<\/span><\/p>\n

It certainly is true that these products feel clean to me and that they have a clean ingredients list.<\/span><\/p>\n

They also do go on quite smoothly and wear fairly well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe if someday I could make my way to a 100% Pure store, I would find some colors that I actually like.<\/span><\/p>\n

Silicone Level: <\/strong>None<\/span><\/p>\n

Problematic Colorings: <\/strong>Ultramarines. (Some palettes contain aluminum powder and thus are not suggested as good alternatives.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Packaging:\u00a0<\/strong>Paper<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of the Athr Desert Sunset Palette reads, “Lustrous, rich and multidimensional, this ten-shade eyeshadow palette pulls warmth and inspiration from the desert sunset. Warm shimmers, opaque mattes and reflective metallics hold intense pigmentation while blending together in harmony. Our silk-like eyeshadow formula effortlessly glides along the skin, delivering high color payoff with just one swipe. These sun-drenched shadows reduce the appearance of dark spots and texture, while protecting the skin from aging free radicals. Contains desert-derived organic prickly pear seed oil (provides the skin with intense hydration and antioxidants); organic shea butter (increases moisture in the skin); and organic coconut oil (serves as a smoothing agent that helps deliver creamy, one-swipe payoff).”<\/span><\/p>\n

The other palettes from this company have similar descriptions.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have the Desert Sunset Palette ($48) as well as a few of their eyeshadow quads ($20).<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been really enthusiastic about these palettes from a variety of perspectives, especially in terms of it being easy for me to apply the product and to create a pretty look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although I am not an expert in using a bunch of different colors of shadows on my eyelids, I feel like my eyes have looked nice regardless of how I have used the colors in these palettes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shadows go on smoothly and blend easily, without much work or frustration on my part.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quite a few of the colors work well for me as “one and done” eyeshadows, and using several shades together also has worked well.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the products that I have tried have clean ingredients lists and have not irritated my eyes at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

I liked these palettes so much that I talked a friend into trying the Moonlight Crystal Gemstone Palette,<\/strong><\/a> which seems much more appropriate for people with cool skin tones and blue or grey eyes than it would be for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, when I read the ingredients list for this palette, I was perplexed to find that it included aluminum powder, even though Athr said elsewhere on its website that aluminum powder was not used in its products.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know that I personally react strongly to the presence of aluminum powder in eye products and that other people do as well, and it is rated a 9 (red) out of 10 in terms of being problematic by EWG.<\/span><\/p>\n

I wasn’t able to find a way to get in touch with Athr and so wrote to Credo (which has aluminum powder on its “dirty list”) and asked them if it really was the case that this product contains aluminum powder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Credo wrote back to me that they were going to investigate and then after a few weeks removed both the Moonlight Crystal Gemstone Palette and the Rose Quartz Crystal Gemstone Palette from their offerings.<\/span><\/p>\n

They wrote to me in Spring 2022, “Thank you so much for your patience while we escalated this to our merchandising team, the Athr<\/span> team and our Sustainability & Impact team. After several days of back and forth, we will be conducting a review of the products and have removed them from our site to avoid any concern or confusion. The brand has also confirmed that they will be reformulating the Rose Quartz palette and the new formulation should be released sometime in July :).”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rose Quartz palette was reintroduced to the Credo site in early August. Although aluminum powder is still listed as an ingredient on the Credo site, it is no longer mentioned on the Athr site and so I wonder if Credo is just using the old listing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Athr does now have an email address (hello at athrbeauty dot com) listed on their website, and so those who have concerns about their ingredients may be able to get a response by writing to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Personally, this experience has not made me uninterested in using Athr products since I do really like their formulas, but I definitely am going to be inclined to check the ingredients lists carefully rather than assuming that everything from them is going to be okay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creamy, velvety smooth, blendable texture. Vibrant, stay-true color. Finishes range from soft and luminous to high-impact metallic.

These loose eyeshadows from Bare Minerals are available in many different colors and have a quite clean formula.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried the popular Nude Beach (“light warm sand”).<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought that the color looked nice on me but that the loose formula made it somewhat difficult to apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

Possibly with some effort I could master the technique of using them and they would be easier to use, though.<\/span><\/p>\n

Six warm bronze, copper and golden tones create endless looks. Two velvety mattes and 4 luminous satins. Delivers all-day, crease-proof wear. Creamy textures easily build, blend and layer. Cold-pressed botanicals help to nourish and visibly smooth skin.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Bare Minerals sells several different six-shadow palettes, all of them appearing to be designed to create a fairly understated rather than overly dramatic look.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried the Sunlit palette, which leans toward warm tones and contains a pretty selection of colors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite containing some artificial coloring agents, the formula seemed to work okay on my eyes without noticeably irritating them.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the downside, I feel that this formula feels overly hard and stiff, meaning that it is\u00a0 hard to pick up much product on the brush.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also feel like I have had to work harder than with some products to create a look that is attractive on me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have tried two of these three-shadow palettes, in the Shimmering Nudes and Blooming Desert versions.<\/span><\/p>\n

I like the formula of these shadows. They are easy to pick up on the brush or even a finger and are applied to my eyes easily and smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ingredients list is one of the cleanest that I have seen for any shadow, and I don’t feel that my eyes were irritated by my using this shadow.<\/span><\/p>\n

At least in the palettes that I tried, the three colors worked together to create what I thought was an easy and attractive look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Especially considering the reasonable price, I would consider buying more of these palettes if I felt that the colors would suit me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Problematic Colorings: <\/strong>Ultramarines, Yellow #5<\/span><\/p>\n

Packaging:\u00a0<\/strong>Metal & Plastic With Mirror (Refillable)<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of this product reads, “Your signature shade, three ways. A refillable monochromatic eyshadow trio in three essential finishes. The three buildable finishes – matte, satin and metallic – offer a range of intensity and can be used alone or together for monochromatic dimension. Matte is a rich, smooth and versatile option; satin has a soft, delicate sheen; and metallic has a hint of sparkle for a dreamy, shimmery effect.\u00a0Choose from an edited wardrobe of 10 essential shades\u2014inspired by colors found in nature (elements of our gardens and backyards that we wish we could wear)\u2014that are vegan and formulated without talc, with minimal fallout and creasing after you apply.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This is an unusual eyeshadow palette in that it gives the user three versions of the exact same color, except in different finishes (matte, slightly shimmery, and a little more shimmery).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It therefore seems more suitable for people who are looking for an understated “one-and-done” eyeshadow look, rather than for those who want to use their eyeshadow to create a lot of drama or as an outlet for artistic expression.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ten different options are currently available. I decided to try Prairie (“rich olive”), which is an unusual shade that I think looks very nice on my brown eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

I found the formulas to go on nicely and to not be too bad in terms of emphasizing the texture of my eyelids.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ingredients list looks pretty clean to me, and I have not noticed any problems with this product irritating my eyes at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Silicones are included in the matte version only.<\/span><\/p>\n

The metal compact is refillable and includes what I have found to be an encouraging comment written on the mirror (“You look good”).<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether many people find the “monochrome” concept to be useful, I don’t know.<\/span><\/p>\n

I do like this eyeshadow in terms of the performance and how it looks on me, and am appreciative of the fact that the whole palette is competitively priced compared to single shadows from brands that seem to me to have similar quality.<\/span><\/p>\n

I might even purchase another shade at some point.<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of this product reads, “Our beautiful range of all natural eyeshadows is talc free and made with rice powder instead. Our eyeshadows contain antioxidant ingredients such as superfruits, vitamins and plant pigments to benefit the skin. A smooth consistency, blendable and buildable. Nutrient dense formula that delivers beautiful color from plants and natural sources. Infused with argan oil and vitamins and tea extracts to benefit the skin. Vegan, Healthy and All Natural.”<\/span><\/p>\n

These eyeshadows do not include any synthetic ingredients and are free of substances that EWG considers to be problematic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The product is available in a variety of single colors as well as in a five-shade palette (called New York Nights).<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried the color Charming (radiant beige with shimmer finish) and felt that it worked pretty well for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

While it didn’t seem to apply as easily as some other eye shadows such as the Jane Iredale ones, I thought that it looked pretty on me and held up fairly well.<\/span><\/p>\n

It does seem like a clean product to me and did not cause any irritation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main issue that I had was that it was difficult for me to decide which shades might be best for me from looking at the colors online.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would appreciate some additional photographs or swatch videos.<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of this product reads, “Serve endless looks with this pigment-rich eye shadow palette starring 10 velvety shades in a range of mattes, shimmers, and satins. Effortlessly create color gradients and perfectly smokey looks with blendable hues.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The most noticeable attribute of this palette for me was that there was a substantial amount of fallout, with dustings of different color powders drifting around every time that I have used it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although I am not an expert in gauging the use of different palettes for people with different skin tones, this palette seems to me to consist almost solely of shades that are on the warm brown side.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am not sure that people with cooler skin or who like to use other colors on their eyes will be very happy with this palette, therefore.<\/span><\/p>\n

I do like warm brown tones and was attracted to the mix of shimmers and mattes in this palette.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, I feel like I have had a bit of problem getting a really attractive look from this product and haven’t used it very much.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ingredients list does look clean to me, and I don’t feel that it has caused any irritation to my eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of the Jane Iredale palettes and trios reads, “Complementary shadows for nuanced looks. Finely milled mineral pigments for richer, truer color. Soft, buttery texture for smooth application & easy blending. Long-lasting, creamy formula for color that won\u2019t crease or fade. Nourishing natural ingredients moisturize and soften for a visibly smooth appearance. Gentle & safe for sensitive eyes. No Talc.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Jane Iredale released an entirely reformulated line of their powder eyeshadows in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although I didn’t like the old eyeshadows at all, I think the new ones are really terrific (to the point that they have become my favorite powder shadows).<\/span><\/p>\n

I have found the formula of the new shadows to be soft and easy to apply, blending easily into an attractive look.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shadows are available in a variety of singles, trios and 6-color palettes. They all are pretty compact in size compared to many other eyeshadow palettes on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel that both the trios and the palettes have very nice color selections and that they have made it easy for me to use a few colors together to create attractive looks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shimmer shades are pretty enough to work on their own as “one-and-done” shadows as well, in my opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have the Solar Flare palette and the Harmony triple, and I really like both of these.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been feeling tempted to buy additional products since many of the other colors look like they have potential as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of this product reads, “Minimalist but mighty. This blendable shadow offers professional-grade velvety pigment. Customize it with your tools: A fluffy brush yields a sheer application while a tighter brush will maximize density. Layer and blend to add dimension.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones Road currently offers 15 shades of powder eyeshadows, about half shimmery and half matte.<\/span><\/p>\n

They are only available as single shadows rather than in palettes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Based on the photos shared by Jones Road, they seem to mostly be promoting the use of one or maybe two of the shadow colors at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried the color Patina, which is a dark brown shimmer, and have really enjoyed using it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The product picks up and blends really easily and looks very nice on my eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is one of my favorite powder eyeshadows in terms of the formula.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would be interested in trying another shade or perhaps a little palette (if they ever offer one).<\/span><\/p>\n

Packaging:\u00a0<\/strong>Plastic<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of this product reads, “Rich colour, professional, iconic. Behold the power of pigment. Elevate your eyes with a streak of rich, highly pigmented pressed powder. This saturated shadow formula stays on all day long with non-creasing, eight-hour wear. The result: potent colour payoff that applies evenly, blends well and can be used wet or dry. Available in a kaleidoscope of colours, textures and finishes.”<\/span><\/p>\n

MAC eyeshadows are long-time favorites of many makeup artists and savvy consumers, and while I had not used them for many years, they were favorites of mine about 20 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

I therefore decided to purchase a few shades to see how they compared to some of the other products that I was trying out.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main concern with regard to MAC eyeshadows is that they contain talc that is not verified by a third party as being free of asbestos.<\/span><\/p>\n

To my understanding, asbestos is primarily problematic due to the fact that it can cause cancer if it is breathed into the lungs. There also was one case where a case of ovarian cancer was found in a court case to have been caused by the frequent use of baby powder in the groin area.<\/span><\/p>\n

I definitely would not want to use loose baby powder or loose setting powder that might be contaminated with asbestos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, I feel slightly less concerned with regard to eyeshadows, since a minimal amount of product is used and the likelihood that I will be breathing in a substantial amount of it seems low.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from the use of the talc, MAC uses phenoxyethanol (a preservative) and some various artificial colors in its shadows.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried several different shades of MAC eyeshadows and was generally very impressed with how they performed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Several of the colors – including Woodwinked, All That Glitters and Amber Lights – have worked especially well as both “one-and-done” and blended shadows. The less shimmery shades – Texture, Marsh and Ricepaper – also have worked well for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel like I especially like MAC eyeshadows because many of their shades seem to have a muted “muckiness” about them that I find to be interesting and that seems to work well with my low-contrast complexion.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have not found that the MAC eyeshadows have irritated my eyes at all and doubt pretty strongly that using them on occasion is causing me any appreciable health harm.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know that I ever will buy any more of these eyeshadows since there are other talc-free powder eyeshadows on the market that I feel that I like just as much.<\/span><\/p>\n

I do like them though.<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of this product reads, “Pro-quality payoff, smooth, non-drying texture.\u00a0 Rich buttery pigments blend easily with no fall out. We load our eyeshadows with a high, 35% pigment load for max payoff. Amino acid coated pigments give our formula an application that is easy to blend with no fall out and a non-drying, long wear finish. Chamomile extract calms your skin. Plus, natural antioxidants like Vitamin C and E strengthen and protect your skin’s barrier. Ingredients are earth-first: bio-degradable, ethically sourced, cruelty-free and vegan. Long wearing, free of talc, clean, and vegan.”<\/span><\/p>\n

MOB offers a wide variety of powder eyeshadow colors, which can be purchased as singles or used to build a palette with up to 12 shades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They thus are similar to concept of the MAC eyeshadows, which perhaps should not be a big surprise since MOB was founded by two of the original founders of MAC, Victor Casale and Frank Toskan.<\/strong> <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The MOB eyeshadows do not use talc and include somewhat fewer artificial colors, however.<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried two shades of the MOB eyeshadows – M48 (“shimmering olive”) and M44 (“lilac taupe sheen”).<\/span><\/p>\n

I found the colors to be very pretty and the products to be easy to use to create a nice look.<\/span><\/p>\n

I did not find that the shadows caused any irritation to my eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, all the MOB Beauty products that I have tried have worked well for me despite the presence of artificial colorants in many of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would be interested in trying more shades of these eyeshadows.<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of this product reads, “This palette is a first-of-its-kind formula that illuminates the eyes with a striking multi-dimensional glassy effect that is fool-proof, even if you have the fear of eyeshadow. These versatile shades were meticulously designed to wear alone or seamlessly blend, layer and mix to create multiple looks.Upon first use, swirl your fingertip in a circular motion on each eyeshadow shade. Don\u2019t be afraid to use firm pressure. This will activate our Lid Illumes for optimal color payoff. For more pigment, apply directly to your eyelid using your fingertip. For a diffused wash of color, use our Everything Eye Brush. Be sure to use firm pressure. Push, swipe, swirl, layer, and have fun. Mix and match the colors, and let your creativity or simplicity shine!”<\/span><\/p>\n

This company is currently offering six different eyeshadow palettes, with each one consisting of four different chunky\/shimmery shades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The shadows are said to be in the grey area between being powder and cream products.<\/span><\/p>\n

All the shades have enough texture and shimmer that they work well as “one-and-done” shades as well as part of multi-color looks.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have the 75 Degrees Warm palette and have found it very easy to use. The eye shadows go on and blend really easily, and all four shades are very pretty.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have not found the product to have irritated my eyes at all, and the shadows seem to have held up well on my eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would consider buying another one of these palettes, though with some of the other colors I would appreciate having a chance to try it on to see how it looked on me.<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of this product reads, “Light reflecting living color in four multi-dimensional shades. Buttery silky color. Matte, satin + pearl finishes. Super chic applied wet or dry. Natural amino acids soothe delicate eyes. Activated with untamed botanicals. Rich mineral pigments. Skin-nourishing + soothing amino acids. Unscented.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This product is available in four versions, each containing four shades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried the Labyrinth shade (described as “chic and moody”).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel that the colors in this palette are pretty but that the product is somewhat difficult to apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shadows do feel quite clean to me, though, and I also really like the look that I have been able to create with the palette.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, once I get the eyeshadow on my eyes, it seems to hold up quite well (which is not something that I necessarily would have expected from an eyeshadow palette from an especially clean-focused company).<\/span><\/p>\n

The description of this product reads, “Play up your eyes with a chic, modern take on neutral. This essential vegan eyeshadow palette contains five versatile shades\u2014from luminous natural tones to deeper matte hues. With blendable powder shadows, it\u2019s perfect for creating eye-catching looks with intense color payoff, whether you want a subtle wash of color or to layer and play for more drama. This plant-powered formula is infused with Grapeseed Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil, giving each shade a dreamy, velvety texture with all-day staying power.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This palette is currently offered in four different versions, each containing five shades of shadow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I tried the Sepia palette, which contains a variety of colors that I felt were somewhat unusual and suited to my coloring (though without any lighter highlighting shades).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am not crazy about the formula, since I feel that the shadows are on the hard side and a rather difficult to apply.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I do think that the colors are nice and that they work well as both “one-and-done” shadows as well as for use in creating more complex looks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I felt that the formula was pretty clean and did not have any problems with it irritating my eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

About This Website<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Living Clean in a Dirty World shopping website is designed to provide guidance to those seeking out products that are relatively low in toxicity and that provide generally positive user experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the skincare and makeup sections have a particular focus on products appropriate for women who are in their 40’s or beyond, the information provided may be useful for other people as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The products are curated by Lisa Petrison,<\/strong><\/a> who has been focused on helping people to improve their health by avoiding toxicity since 2008 and who heads the Paradigm Change organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her\u00a0Living Clean in a Dirty World blog site<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0discusses a variety of topics of relevance to those who are working to pursue a more natural lifestyle with less exposure to harmful toxicity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lisa is the author of several books, including\u00a0A Beginner’s Guide to Mold Avoidance<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(co-written with Erik Johnson).<\/span><\/p>\n

She also runs the Paradigm Change website<\/strong><\/a> (focusing on issues related to toxic mold illness) and the Mold Avoiders Facebook group<\/strong><\/a> (designed for the discussion of all topics of interest to those pursuing the mold avoidance approach described in the “Beginner’s Guide” book).<\/span><\/p>\n

Lisa was born in August 1964 and has yet to try cosmetic surgery, Botox or other cosmetic treatments requiring interactions with a physician, or beauty products containing retinoids.<\/span><\/p>\n

In her former life, Lisa worked as a business school professor, as a marketing consultant to a variety of large companies, and as a reporter covering the advertising industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

She holds a Ph.D. in marketing and social psychology from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University as well as B.S.\/M.S. degrees from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lisa would like to extend a special note of appreciation to Ellen Kleiman-Redden for her help in trying out products and discussing issues related to this project.<\/span><\/p>\n

She also would like to thank the many members of the Mold Avoiders community who have shared suggestions of products to be included here.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Note From Lisa<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Products that I have tried or researched and that I have not found to be acceptable from a toxicity standpoint have been omitted entirely from the discussions on this website.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, since a goal of this project is to introduce people to a range of options in terms of price and functionality, some products discussed on this site include ingredients that may not be appropriate for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s my hope that all individuals making their way to this site will find at least a few options from each product category that meet all of their own needs and wants from a variety of perspectives.<\/span><\/p>\n
