Which means it sits on the skin and does not absorb into the skin. They are currently working on reformulating the foundation to remove this paraben all together. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

I hear they have started to, to which I say THANK GOODNESS!! Right now I am using LimeLight and doTERRA products. As there are many green companies out there you have to do some reseach. Reading labels is the best way to stay healthy and live green. Learn what the chemical names mean by researching. I hope this helps!It's Time to GREEN!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18224615284761576692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120756838038551231.post-86304809647940892302018-02-05T14:09:49.519-05:002018-02-05T14:09:49.519-05:00Hi Murni, Yes it is very sad.

But for now their are greener choices out there. Right now my go to products are doTERRA and LimeLight.

But where I have found them is in candles, air fresheners, plug-ins, anything that makes the house smell perfumey. I switched to coconut and bees wax based candles with no lead in the wick. They are more expensive but when you are talking about the health of my family, phthalates don't belong here. Always read your labels. One everything. Hope this helps!

And I encourage you to research the Oil Cleansing Method, which is what is being referred to above. OCM does not clog pores. I used it for years and my complexion was more radiant than ever. Parabens and aluminum in our products ARE harmful which is why I referenced a research article on breast cancer tumors. I am very glad you do research. I do too. That's exactly what I encourage people to do through this blog. RESEARCH. We need to know what we are putting in and on our bodies. Just because a food or a cosmetic is sold doesn't mean it is safe for us in the long run. Thanks for stopping by It's Time to GREEN.

It was a real shock to me when I learned that just because something is available for purchase in a store or from someone doesn't mean it is good for us.

T...Olive oil, avocado oil and coconut oil are OILS. They are not noncomedogenic and just because they are "natural" does not make them better for your skin. Obviously they will clog pores. Arsenic is natural but it's not good for you. A little common sense would go a long way. You also talk about the use of ingredients that are "harmful." Often when these ingredients are tested they are tested at levels way beyond what would equate to normal human consumption. At low levels these ingredients can be harmless. I did lots of research in college and I know how to interpret statistics. I am not fooled by sensationalistic blogs.

Not dying certainly helps... This may be just what I need to finally let go of my MK business as well. I'm going to pass this on to my director and see how she responds.

Sadly, I didn't keep the guide. Have you tried calling Mary Kay and asking? I would approach it from an "I'm gathering information about your ingredients" angle. They may be more receptive to sharing. Just an idea. <br /><br />Knowledge is key today. Body care and the food we eat.<br /><br />I have heard of Beautycounter Stacey. Someone posted back in February about it. It sounds amazing!<br /><br />Thank you for your post!<br />Keep staying GREEN!<br />KerriIt's Time to GREEN!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18224615284761576692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7120756838038551231.post-36623489538271285402017-08-01T12:11:53.540-04:002017-08-01T12:11:53.540-04:00Hi Jennifer!!!

If your consultant isn't honoring that, something is very wrong. The company will replace the product for her. Inventory is a lame excuse. You can contact the company directly if she won't service you as agreed to in the consultant agreement and they WILL honor the policy. Their return policy is the most generous and fair of any I've seen. It's too bad about the parabens. Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02258303222332669987noreply@blogger.com
