Ideal Bite

Use the 100% organic Lluvia skin care line from the Amazon Herb Company and you won't have to use any make up at all because you will look so beautiful au-natural and will have that SPF protection. The wild-crafted herbs have anti-oxidants which battle free radicals, help build fibroblast cells which help produce collagen, and voila you are now helping reverse the effects of fine lines & wrinkles! You will also be helping the Indigineous tribes of the Rainforest purchase more acres so the "lungs of our planet" won't be cut down. Check it out at http://164515.amazonherb.net. It absolutely is a win-win solution!

Do you have any suggestions for natural concealers? The ones I've tried have been less than satisfactory. I need it for undereye circles, since I'm blessed with permanent ones, unrelated to how much sleep I get.

Agree with Lauryn that it would be nice to know of a good concealer...and what about mineral makeups? I have oily skin and the Juice Beauty product may be a problem for me, although I am willing to try it. I thought the mineral powder makeups leave out all the harmful stuff - or am I just buying into the marketing? Perhaps some of the mineral makeups fall into this category and some do not; would be good to know which is which. (I am currently using Jane Iredale.)

I know you have biter testers for product, but if this site is supposed to about being green, then there is nothing green about the Korres foundation. See here: All shades contain: Titanium Dioxide (5%), Water, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Butylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric triglyceride, Beheneth-30, Glycerin, Myristyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyl Dimethyl, Taurate Coploymer, Glyceryl Isostearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Caprylyl Glycol, Isohexadecane, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Glycerides, Potassium Sorbate, Polyperfluromethylisopropyl Ether, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Xanthan Gum, Polysorbate 80, Hexylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Hectorite, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides, Sodium Magnesium Silicate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Capryloyl Glycine, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tocopherol, Arctium Lappa Root Extract, sarcosine, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Bark Extract, Zingiber Officinate (Ginger) Root Extract, Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract, Poterium Officinale Root Extract (+/-(may contain) Mica, Iron Oxides). Most of those ingredients are petroleum based like butylene glycol, hexylene glycol, acrylates/C-10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer. All of course processed several times to create them, so they are not recognized as being petroleum based. And having cinnamon extract in most skin care/cosmetics is considered allergenic cause it's highly irritating. I guess my point is that for a company that is promoting green items, this is definitely not one of them. I think there needs to be some care taken looking into the ingredient green-factor as well.

I am currently using bare essentials mineral foundation/concealer, and it is the best mineral makeup I have tried, it works if I combine colors to get my shade. I have combination breakout prone/wrinkling skin. However, it is micronized, and there is fear that micronized and nano-sized particles can get past the blood/brain barrier to eventually create neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. So I am actively looking for a makeup that doesn't have this problem. I also find, as did the previous commenter, that a so-called natural product is often going to contain all sorts of petrochemicals. Please make sure any future review of foundation (or other makeup) addresses both of these issues.

Can u recommend any face was. I am almost 40 and can not use anything with syliclic acid in it. I have adult acne. Everything I use I have an allergic reaction. Any sugugestions?

I agree with the post from Abby. What are you thinking to recommend a product as "natural" with all those UNnatural chemical ingredients in their product list? If you can't say it, don't know what it is, and can't eat it, it really shouldn't be going on your skin to be absorbed by your body. You need to do a better job of researching products that are actually natural, actually healthy, and not products from companies like Korres that are green-washing its customers.

Thank you Denise. Other brands that mask themselves are also that Fresh Face brand in that list. Which I find ironic that the Physicians Formula foundation is very natural and it's sold at drug stores!

I have to say I normally appreciate my ideal bites; however, recently I w have been a bit bothered by the beauty products that have been recommended. A bit more research should be done before recommending foundations and other beauty products. The Physician's Formula Organic Wear Foundation has colloidal silver in it which according to beauty experts can cause permanent blue tinting (also see the blue man who drank it and permanently turned blue)!! The Korres product recommended only has 10 spf a minimum of 15 is recommended by most medical organizations. I too agree with Abby when I looked at the list not all of the ingredients were all natural and I can't imagine were organic. I surely wouldn't eat the stuff! I recommend asking Paula Begone (www.beautypedia.com), a prior beauty industry employee, before buying beauty products she gives you the skinny about how well the products perform and what exactly the ingredients might or might not do to you!

I love spf 30 mineral moisturizer by Juice Beauty! I use it everyday with and without makeup! Its amazing!!
