Makeup recommendation

**snowchickie79** · March 27th, 2008, 03:36 PM

I have bad allergies and my hubby's 30th is coming up. My normal foundation contains a form of retinol in it (not on the label but read the ingredients) and i'm trying to find a foundation which does not contain retinol.

Any recommendations?

P.S. I read on 1 website that retinol is sometimes used in low-fat milk, has anyone heard of this because i haven't and that is all i drink (skim milk that is)..

Have you tried mineral makeup?

I was going to suggest mineral makeup too! Or I use one from Grace cosmetics that is aloe vera based - its awesome!

Hi,
I am in the same boat, i have just read the ingredients in mine and it contains Retinyl Palmitate. It is not an active ingredient, however i am really worried now. I am 11 weeks pregnant and have been using this all throughout so far. I am seriously concerned and just wonder if anyone could give some advice on how much damage they think this could have done. I will be definately looking for a new foundation too Snowchickie!!
