How Does Hypoallergenic Makeup Help Sensitive Skin and Eyes?

Those who deal with hyper-sensitive skin and eyes know how difficult it is to find makeup that doesn’t cause irritation, dryness, or inflammation. Hypoallergenic makeup has been a label used by cosmetics companies for several decades, dating back to the 1970s.

Hypoallergenic means that the product does not commonly cause irritation or inflammatory results. There aren’t any regulations around this term, but companies that label their products with it can provide results from patch testing that was done during product development. While this label is helpful for narrowing down your product selection, what are other ways that companies can prove that their product is safe for sensitive eyes and skin?

The Ingredients List & Brand Transparency

While this might seem like an intimidating tactic, reading the ingredients list is the best way to determine whether a product is safe for your sensitivities. If you deal with watery eyes or dry eyelids, read the ingredients for a mascara for sensitive eyes and compare it to others that haven’t worked for you.

Brands that explain their ingredients and why they use them are more likely to be actually safe for sensitive skin and eyes. Also, check out the reviews. If there seems to be a pretty obvious split between those who loved the product and others who had serious issues with irritation and inflammation, err on the side of caution.

Vegan cosmetics, like Thrive Causemetics, focus on skin-loving ingredients that are nourishing and less likely to cause an adverse reaction. Also check that products are free of sulfates and parabens, the biggest culprits in sensitive skin irritation.

Tip for Sensitive Skin and Eyes:

You can have the safest makeup in the world and still deal with irritation if you don’t follow this one tip: Clean your brushes and rotate through your products regularly. Bacteria accumulates on brushes, bronzer makeup, mascara, eyeshadow and more over time.

Clean your brushes every week or two weeks using antibacterial soap and warm water. Update your makeup products every few months. Powders can last longer if you regularly cleanse your brushes. Mascara expires and dries out after 3 to 4 months.

From Vegan to Paraben-Free: Understanding Popular Skincare Labels

You’ve likely seen a lot of different labels when shopping around for skincare: nontoxic, natural, organic, hypoallergenic, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, paraben-free, etc.   But what do all these labels mean? Read on for more information on some of the most common labels in the skincare industry. Vegan A “vegan” label typically means that a beauty product or skincare product does not contain any animal products, animal by-products, or animal derivatives. Commonly found animal ingredients can include animal hair, animal fat, and others. Vegan makeup brands also typically refrain from using ingredients obtained from living creatures, including beeswax, honey, shellac, and lanolin. Paraben-Free Paraben-free is a common label in the skincare industry these days, and for good reason. Parabens are synthetic preservatives added to things like soap, moisturizers, shaving cream, etc., to extend the life of each product and prevent bacteria and fungi growth. However

Time constraints are the bane of most peoples’ modern experience. It seems like there’s always less time to do more. That’s particularly true in the mornings and evenings—the traditional preparation times. Accompanying the work/life balance are the sleep/get ready for work balance and the get home from work/prepare for your evening balance. For so many of us, it’s those prep-time bottlenecks that can be the most stressful parts of the day.
