Question Hi Tyla, due to a recent medical diagnosis I received, I need to switch to all toxin-free make-up, cleansing products, etc. I've been trying to do some research, but it's so hard to tell what "organic" or "natural" products really are completely toxin-free. Are mineral make-ups free of toxins? Are there any products you can recommend I try for make-up, facial cleansers, etc? Thank you.
Answer You could try Physicians Formula, they have an organic line of products, or go to a natural health food store and see what they carry there. True mineral makeup only has the minerals in it, so they should be toxin and additive free, but I would always check the labels to be sure.
