The Bare Minerals broke my face out so I had to return it.I've used Everyday Minerals (everydayminerals.com) for a month, and just love it! It's also about half the cost of the BE. The Everyday does NOT have the bismuth chloride in it. They have a free sample kit ($3.97 postage) that's fantastic. Do try the Everyday. The lighter shades run really light, BTW.

I too am concerned about ingredients, particularly the use of paraben preservatives after the '04 Japanese study showing increased aging of the skin when exposed to sunlight after a tiny amount of paraben (a preservative in most cosmetics) was included. Bare Escentuals says they are preservative free, but a list of the ingredients in Mineral Veil says that they use both Methylparaben and Propylparaben in that. Any insights?

About a year ago when I started using mineral makeup, I did not buy Bare Minerals because of the bismuth oxychloride. I had a mild reaction to it, and I did not like the shiny, unnatural glow it gave my face. Now I use Afterglow Cosmetics (www.afterglowcosmetics.com) and silk powder makeup from Aubrey Organics (www.aubrey-organics.com, search: silk powder). They are amazing. Try them for yourself, and I think you'll feel better about what you are putting on your skin.

"Nano damage" is very real. Particulate size is very important in measuring air quality. Particles 2.5 microns and smaller are considered fine particles. Nanoparticles are smaller than this and can enter the lungs. It's not "pseudo" at all and more important than complex interactions with traces of other things.

Bare Escentuals foundation does contain Bismuth- it's listed in the BE website under the product. The mineral veil does not contain parabens- not sure where Heather found her ingredient list but this is copied from the BE site under mineral Veil spf 25: Titanium Dixoide, Zea Mays (Corn Starch), Corn Starch Modified, Zinc Stearate, Silica, Magnesium Stearate. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides Hope this helps :)

It's iodine crystals mixed with purified water, it takes a day or two to dissolve and I don't remember the potassium iodide is probably a crystal also. I'll get you the website, wait....http://www.acu-cell.com/sni.html ... it's not the site I was looking for but most of them write about tablets (iodoral?), not liquid. This site has loads of information. I think it's considered inorganic but not synthetic. I'm not a biologist or geologist but it's natural enough for me. Another lady asked me where it's derived from and she has no results on her drug dosage so far but she could also have other factors like too much bromine, technical stuff, not enough magnesium on and on.. it's part of a cure not a cure all by itself. Of course doctors won't scan your whole nutrition profile so we're on our own but especially since it says after the thyroid the bosums take the rest of the iodine uptake so I doubt there's a high probability of overdosing on it either. I'd been using about five drops a day and go onto my next health regiment. I alternate with a lot of stuff. Now I'm on an herb kick. I don't think there's any problem with lugols. Check earthclinic.com also they have tons of health stories by real people and a lot on lugols too.

Now that I am looking at it closely, there is a silicone quaternium-16 in the ingredients. Hmmm. I know that the CEO of this product is the same as pureology, and I'm no chemist, so I'm not sure how bad that is.

Titanium Dioxide is the only one I see in the ingredients list, it does not specify a percentage. I'm allergic to chemical sunscreens, so I checked before buying this, as well.

I use it with Bare Minerals Bare Skin, but it's a liquid. I know that Bare Minerals works with their primer. I suppose you could try it (when you don't need to go anywhere) and see. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Im afraid I dont know what no nano is. The lotion is the same consistency as other lotions. You cannot feel the particles at all. It is a great product, if yoiu want a total sun block. I have used it for two years now, after having one malignant melonoma and wanted more than a screening product.

In the list of ingredients, it says "Montmorillonite (a natural mineral silicate). 100% pure." I'm sorry, but I have yet to try it.

I totally agree with this person's frustration because if i had known in advance what are the "Other Ingredients" listed on the bottle (that i became aware of only after opening my package), i would definitely not have bought this brand. Here are the "Other Ingredients": Microcrystalline Cellulose, Vegetable Cellulose, Silica, Dicalcium Phosphate, Vegetable Magnesium Stearate, Titanium Dioxide, Vegetable Glycerin. Titanium Dioxide might make their tablets a whiter white, but it's sure not something i wish to ingest every day, and two rather large tablets--not one--is the serving size. Silica is another ingredient i'd rather not ingest daily.

I don't know why 0ne product has calcium in it and the other one doesn't. I'm not aware of this issue. It may be a question for a company representative regarding the issue. The body does need calcium and the intake daily body requirement maybe should be addressed by a medical Dr. or nutritionist.

It is made from plant based minerals. Lisen I recommend getting the liquid version of this product. It is the same price and has the exact same ingredients. This is the best stuff you will find for its purpose. What makes this product unique is that your body can obsorb 100 percent of it versus 30 to 70 percent for other products. The ingredients are posted on the website to I suggest you look there

The two products have totallydifferent ingredients (BFI Powder: boric acid, magnesium carbonate, talc, bismuth formic iodide, bismuth subgallate, zinc phenolsulfonate, potassium alum, thymol, menthol, eucalyptol; Columbia Powder: zinc oxide and phenol). Having said that, and not knowing the purpose that you want it for, I can say that both my wife and I swear by Columbia Antiseptic powder for virtually all our skin problems. It seems to cure allergic reactions, heat rashes, contact dermatitis and other skin problems in just a day or so. The only problem we have with it is that it's rather expensive, and very few people carry it. Thank God, Amazon does.

The label says Made of 100% minerals. Tate's the Natural Miracle Odorless Nail Polish Remover has no dyes, no gluten, no iodine, no glycols, no sulfates, no parabens no phosphates, no pesticides, no animal testing and no fragrance. I have used this for years and my nails are fine. I am highly allergic to chemicals in most products and especially acetone. That is why i bought Tate's. I was nervous to try this but it has never caused even a hint of trouble for me.

The only ingredients listed are silica and detergent because they are possible irritants to the eyes. Other than that, no ingredients are listed.
