GUIDE ON HOW TO CHOOSE CHEMICAL-FREE MAKEUP FOR ONLINE-MEETINGS

Basically, what you need to know is that organic makeup is more natural than natural makeup, if that makes any sense at all. The latter is made with natural ingredients which may have been affected by fertilisers and growth enhancers – whereas, the extracts and oils used in organic cosmetics do not get mixed with synthetic preservatives, pesticides or GMOs. Here are some tips on how to choose chemical-free makeup to look effortlessly elegant during a Zoom conference: 

LOOK FOR AN ECOLABEL ON THE PACKAGING

If the product has one, it is safe to use on your skin. There are countless independent organisations making sure products meet the organic standards according to certification systems. Each eco-certificate has different standards, but generally, organic cosmetics prohibit the use of:

  • Synthetic dyes
  • Synthetic preservatives (e.g. parabens, formaldehydes)
  • Products of animal origin (e.g. collagen)
  • Petrochemical products (e.g. paraffin)

DON’T GET FOOLED BY WHATEVER IS WRITTEN ON THE PACKAGING

You must have noticed by now that some manufacturers like to gain your attention as a customer by putting a big “No Parabens” sign on the packaging. Well, they might not have parabens, but what about silicones and synthetic dyes? Be careful and check the list of ingredients once again, because you surely don’t want to put some Methylchloroisothiazolinone onto your face, do you?

Just so you know: in general, manufacturers of 100% natural (organic) cosmetics are much more modest when it comes to packaging and don’t tend to write a million times how healthy their product is. 

LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SAFE AND CRITICAL INGREDIENTS 

Contrary to popular belief, one does not need to be a professional cosmetologist or a Nobel-prize winning chemist to understand what makeup ingredients mean. In case you are looking for natural cosmetics, you only need to be able to recognise the difference between safe ingredients and critical ones.

Here is the list of the critical ingredients commonly used in mass-market cosmetics and non-natural makeup:

  • Refined products (Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, Paraffinum Liquidum, Paraffinum Subliquidum, Cera Microcristallina, Microcrystalline Wax, Ozokerite, Ceresin, Vaseline)
  • Silicones, or any ingredients ending with -cone: Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, etc.
  • PEG derivatives, or any ingredients starting with PEG (PEG-3, PEG-55, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, etc.)
  • Parabens, or any ingredients ending with -paraben (Methylparaben, Propylparaben, etc.)
  • Critical preservatives (Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, any chemicals ending with -amine, DEA, TEA, MEA, EDTA)

WHAT TO AVOID WHILE CHOOSING MAKEUP PRODUCTS

We have just shown you the list of ingredients you would not like your makeup to contain. However, this is not just about chemicals and synthetics. There are a few other basic rules you need to follow to have a healthy, smooth skin:

  1. Don’t use too many brands. Using beauty products of different brands with different sets of ingredients all the time is not such a good idea because it may cause allergies, or the products may just not work together. Stick to a few brands you are 100% sure about.
  2. Don’t buy a whole skincaremakeup line if you have not used it yet. Start to get to know a brand by purchasing a regular day cream. Apply it for 3 to 4 days to make sure you get no allergic reactions, and if it works well for you, try other products. 
  3. Don’t buy makeup without testing it first. This is especially true for powder and foundation. Since most beauty shops allow it, apply some of the product on your jawline or palms of your hands. Otherwise, you will almost certainly choose the wrong tone that doesn’t match your skin colour.
  4. Don’t forget about skincare. A lot of women, especially young girls, pay little to no attention to skincare products and only use decorative cosmetics at all times. Without a proper skincare routine, your skin will sooner or later break out. Always make sure it is moisturised enough, using oils, mineral water, and moisturising creams.

Without a doubt, natural makeup and organic cosmetics are far healthier than mass-market beauty products. The fact that you now spend nearly all your time at home and only see your colleagues on your laptop screen does not mean you should switch to cheaper cosmetics. Saving up your money to buy more expensive products for the post-pandemic period isn’t the best idea. After all, your face is still visible, and bad-quality cakey makeup is most definitely not what you are aiming for.

Nevertheless, we’re not trying to say you need to stop using mass-market cosmetics once and for all; although, by reducing the amount of it on your face, you are definitely doing your skin a big favour. Just make sure you don’t use products that contain toxic critical ingredients.

Since you now know how to choose makeup properly and what ingredients to avoid, you will not find it difficult to find a nice organic beauty or care product suitable for your own skin type within your price range. And remember that a beautifully made-up face always starts with beautiful, glowing skin.
