Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Is it possible to be allergy to mascara? I don't wear makeup very often, when I do it is usually just mascara. I am okay for a couple hours then my eyes start to itch, and of course I rub and then I end up with raccoon eyes. So my daughter and I were wondering if I might be allergy to the mascara. Has anyone else had this problem? Christine :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else had this problem? > > Christine > ********** Hmmmmm.... 2 friends of mine have both recently had the same thing happen with mascara...it makes me wonder if some of the cosmetic companies haven't reformulated their mascaras by adding new chemicals to them?? If it's a mascara brand you've used before without a problem, you could e-mail/phone the mfr and ask them.....if they did reformulate, ask for the ingredient(s) they added/changed, so you know to avoid them in other stuff too. If you are using " conventional " mascara, and you haven't tried a chem- free brand, I would highly recommend it, if you wish to continue using mascara tho. (chem-free cosmetics/skin/hair care too!) They put SO many toxic chems in conventional products nowadays, and allergies to them continue to rise. Reading and deciphering ingredient labels was quite an education for me for sure.... The most common reactions (whether irritant or allergic) are to the chemical colors, chemical fragrances, and chemical pesticides (anti- microbial preservatives) they use..... After alot of research, allergy testing, and experimentation/detective work testing reactions to chemical ingredients, I got rid of all the chem stuff several years ago, and was suprised at the difference in my skin... I had no idea so many irritant and allergic-type reactions were from the chems in the products I was using before that. Since the body does absorb the chemicals applied to the skin, it is just as important to be aware of what goes on it, as it is to what goes in it, just as with eating organic foods. (IMHO) Just my 2 cents....(fwiw) Jan / Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
