Skin product safety
- Patch-test a new product before using it on your face. Dermatologists suggest applying it to a quarter-sized spot, such as the bend of your elbow, twice a day for seven to 10 days.[1]
- If you get redness, itching or swelling, wash the product off and do not use it again.[1]
- Fragrance can cause allergic reactions in some people, including fragrance from plant ingredients.[3]
- See a dermatologist for acne, rashes or skin changes that do not improve.
How to Choose a Liquid Foundation
- Shade and Undertone – Pick a shade that matches your neck and jawline. Shades are often matched to cool, warm, neutral or olive undertones, such as the Desert Glow shade for olive undertones in the Juice Beauty cream.
- Coverage – Sheer products blend into the skin, and fuller coverage products hide more. BaeBlu and Juice Beauty give medium or light-to-medium buildable coverage.
- Finish – Foundations can look dewy, natural or matte. Juice Beauty has a dewy finish, and BaeBlu has a natural finish.
- Fragrance – If you react to scents, look for a product without fragrance. BaeBlu is made with no artificial fragrances.[3]
Foundation With SPF
- SPF Products – Makeup sold with sun-protection claims is regulated as both a cosmetic and a drug.[4]
- Using SPF Properly – The FDA advises broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher, used as directed and reapplied at least every two hours.[5]
- Mineral SPF – Juice Beauty uses 20% zinc oxide for broad-spectrum SPF 30. Mom’s Secret says natural sun protection but gives no SPF value, so do not rely on it as a sunscreen.
What Organic Labels Mean on Makeup
- Organic – The FDA does not define “organic” for cosmetics. A product can carry the USDA Organic seal only if its agricultural ingredients meet USDA standards, and organic ingredients are not automatically safer.[2]
- Percentage Claims – A claim such as 90% organic describes the share of ingredients, so read the ingredient list.
