The listing, All Natural Mascara **GO GREEN DIY** has ended.
Mascara dates back to ancient Eygpt. Most formulas contain the same basic elements: pigmentation, oils, and waxes. But most mascaras on the market these days have plenty of other “stuff” lurking about them.
Cosmetics are very loosely regulated by the FDA. There is a great deal of freedom for the beauty industry in the formulation of cosmetics. There are some concern for some ingredients found in mascara since they have been found to cause cancer in mice, and others are known to be highly toxic to the human body. (source)
My old “volumizing” mascara made my eyes red and itchy. Apparently allergic reactions are common with mascara users. These reactions are usually attributed to methylparaben, aluminum powder, ceteareth-20, butylparaben, or benzyl alcohol that are often found in mascaras.
So.... I decided to make my own 100% All Natural mascara. It's very cheap and easy to make and all the ingredients can be found in a health food store. Unlike store bought mascaras, even the ones that claim to be "natural", there are only four ingredients used to make my all natural mascara. Say goodbye to itchy red eyes from your mascara!
