Mineral Powder and Lipgloss warning?!

gosh u should see the chemicals in artificial colours & flavours… petroleum by-products, derivatives from stuff we wash dogs with, carcinogens… and we EAT that :/

petroleum jelly means like paw paw ointment? or more like vaseline petroleum jelly?

I use mineral powders quite often, I usually make a concerted effort to not breathe in while I’m applying them. I kind of wait for the particles to settle a bit then breathe again. But as someone else said, any powder-form will have the same hazards, so I don’t think I’ll let it get in my way.

I saw that episode too, but there’s no way I’m about to stop using my mineral powders. I don’t believe everything I hear, and although there may be some truth to it it’s only common sense that you won’t inhale the stuff. Whenever I put it on I breathe out and I don’t make a cloud of powder like he showed. I think he was being a bit over dramatic.

i think its quite funny because we are more uncertain about mineral make up then your regular even though mineral is suppose to be a natural form of make up.

I dont use mineral. But if i do one day ill try to avoid the nasty ones

I worry more about using fly spray. I try not to use fly spray when possible and just use a swat. But my mum uses it and I always start coughing when she’s sprayed it close by.

And petrol fumes, yuk they make me sick

Forget nanoparticles – any powder or dust you inhale has the potential to cause problems later in life IF you inhale enough of it over a prolonged period. Having said that, the routine daily application of face powder to your own face is minimal exposure to risk. If I was a MUA using huge quantities of MUFE HD Powder, I’d be worried, but I’m not. I do try to take a deep breath before putting my brush into face powders, and I hold it until I’m finished dusting it on.

There is a very serious lung disease called silicosis, which is caused by long-term exposure to crystallised silica. Apparently, the hydrated form of silica used in transparent powders (MUFE HD, Australis Ready-Set-Go etc) is not crystallised and doesn’t caused the same problems as silica exposure through mining, sandblasting, roadwork etc. I haven’t seen any research to back up that claim, and I’m not sure how long hydrated silica has been in common household use, so I’m staying wary.

This is actually pretty funny because if you do a youtube search and see the story they’re flicking powders left, right and centre, honestly any powder makeup I own costs too much to flick it all over the place so it’s not particularly an issue.

I know that video was so laughable, funniest thing i’d seen in ages when i first saw it and it gets funnier everytime 😀

its the end of the world with nanobots and invisible dangers
