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 :)

Water is a "chemical" technically but I guess you mean "harmful chemicals" and the listed ingredients read well enough (Phenoxyethanol is controversial but any product with water has to have a preservative) The bigger problem is this brand has other products that are obviously missing certain ingredients and only list good ones so I do not trust "Pure Body Naturals" to have honest ingredients lists.

Amazingly, the ingredients are not listed on the box. Not certain how this is possible since the FDA and the environmental protection agencies require all products to list their ingredients on the label. The statement on the box reads: "Need ingredient information visit Oxiclean.comHere's what the website states: The OxiClean™ formulation is actually a combination of ingredients, the chief ingredient being hydrogen peroxide. Another essential part of the formula is the ...If I had read this information on the box I never would have used this laundry detergent on my expensive blouse.

I purchased what I thought was bare minerals on amazon trying to save money. It was fake. As soon as I put it on I noticed the coverage was not the same at all. The color was off and my face started itching like crazy. I googled it and found this helpful site to determine that mine was counterfeit: http://www.ebay.com/gds/Bare-Escentuals-vs-Bare-Minerals-/10000000176613767/g.html

There are several ingredients, you can find them by going to their web site. It is safe for contact wearers,and I haven't had a reaction to it.This is my second tube, it works great.

just wanted to share what i was recently told about this product. my bff was told about it by the owner of a store she was in. the owner was a cancer survivor, who discovered the product after undergoing chemo and losing her lashes. being a cancer patient, she was concerned about the ingredients as well and had the product checked out by MD Anderson. she was told that it doesn't contain any harmful ingredients.

Hi. I called the 1.800.877.8869 on the bottle and was told that the titanium dioxide has nano particles, but that they aretoo small to penetrate the skin.

You can actually find some good info in this regard at the Just the Crystals website. These aren't the superfine (nearly sand-like quality) you'll get in with the Mimi Crystals from Walmart, but are slightly larger grain. We've found that there's a balance between size and texture in terms of best absorbency and what works (as in most people's experience with the cheaper, very chunky brands). Absorbency is also measurable -- and these have the highest ml/g absorbency ration available (hence why they are "premium" branded). Most of this info can be found at my website, but please don't hesitate to contact me directly via the contact info there if I can personally answer any questions -- always here to help! Rick

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.

I sometimes purchase this at Wholefoods and the supplement personnel told me that it used to contain Titanium Dioxide but no longer does. I wish Spry would make an announcement somehow to say yay or nay because this is annoying. I can say this, it is NOT on the list of ingredients.
