I have had optic neuritis for over 10 years and have struggled with finding makeup that would not make my eye cranky. Finally I gave up trying to use shadow and liner and mascara at the same time. Mascara seemed to be the worse-even the kind that is hypo-allergic. Now being retired, the makeup issue is not that big a deal. I swim a lot and frankly the other lady swimmers don't give a rip.
Recently, I have been again looking for some eye makeup and have done some reading about ingredients in all makeup. No wonder my eye was cranky! What with parabens and formaldehyde that appears to be in almost everything that touches me, it hard to find something purer.
Regulations in the US do not prohibit them as they do in Europe. So the majority of companies here produce cosmetics that contain parabens and so forth. So I am wondering if any of you ladies have found some cosmetics that don't have these irritants in them? I have read a lot and found some online but it's like picking a pig in a poke! So I though maybe someone here had found some that was more natural and pure. Lord knows I don't need any other possible toxic substance in my body.
Thanks
