Hypoallergenic Makeup - The Solution To Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive skin, you know the value of hypoallergenic makeup. You don't have to completely forgo wearing makeup just because your skin is sensitive or allergy prone.

Some hypoallergenic makeup can actually be good for your skin. Makeup is a blanket term for all the "stuff" that we girls put on our faces.

That would include foundation, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara and blush. Incidentally, all of these are available in hypoallergenic formulations.

FDA "Hypoallergenic Makeup": The truth about reporting requirements! 


You should be aware, though, that the simple term "hypoallergenic makeup" does not hold the same meaning for every cosmetic company.

The Food and Drug Administration, the federal entity that governs makeup companies, does not have a specific definition or standard for a company to uphold in order to use the term hypoallergenic.

This means that when a company stamps hypoallergenic makeup on their product, it means exactly what that particular company wants it to mean.

You should also know that manufacturers of cosmetics labeled as hypoallergenic makeup have no requirements to substantiate their claims of their product's hypoallerganicity to the FDA.

So, what is a girl left to do?

If virtually anyone can stamp the word "hypoallergenic" on any product that they so choose, how do you know what is quality and what is garbage?

The best advice is to stick with the companies that have a known name and a good reputation.

You can go to sites such as epinions.com and Yahoo! Answers to find out what other people have experienced with a product.

Alternatively, you can purchase the product and try it. If it irritates your skin or causes you any discomfort you simply return it.

It is a little known fact that you can return used makeup to the store from where you purchased it.

Even if the package says that it is hypoallergenic makeup, you purchase it and find out it is not what you wanted, you may return it.

Some stores have a policy that you must have the receipt or that the return must be made within a certain number of days, but as long as you hang on to your receipt and you return it within the required time, you are good.

Hypoallergenic Makeup: Liquid Makeup and Cream Makeup 

Since foundation is what usually covers your face, liquid and cream makeup should be primary concerns.

You want a makeup that is water based and is gentle.

Again, select a brand that is well known. It doesn't matter if it is a department store brand or a drugstore brand, there are quality products in both.

Hypoallergenic Makeup: Mineral Makeup 

Mineral makeup is often touted as a hypoallergenic makeup and, to be honest, it does have the lowest occurrence of makeup related allergic reactions.

Bismuth Oxychloride is one of the main ingredients that cause allergic reactions in mineral makeup. If you find that this is the case with you, simply find a mineral makeup that does not contain this ingredient.

As long as you pay attention to how makeup affects your skin, you can make the necessary adjustments to find the formulation that is just right for you.
