Conventional Brow Gels

Avoid conventional brow gels made with harsh chemicals, nano particles, parabens, Bismuth Oxychloride, talc, synthetic dyes and lakes, fillers, fragrances, phenoxyethanol, PFA, heavy metals, titanium dioxide, harmful chemical preservatives, and other potentially irritating or toxic substances.

​

❌ Avoid  Microplastics: Check the label. Microplastics are listed as Nylon, Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), and Polymethyl methacrylate. In hand sanitizers , such as Carbomer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer. Check that your makeup or cosmetics are organic and don’t contain plastic. According to Greenpeace Italy, these makeup companies contain microplastics: Lush 99%, Maybelline 85%, Deborah 84%, Sephora 83%, Wycon 78%

​

 

❌ Avoid PFAS: per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are toxic synthetic compounds found in various makeup, especially those advertised as long-lasting or waterproof. Brands including Essence, L’Oreal, Maybelline, Revlon, and Wet ‘n Wild were purchased at Ulta Beauty, Sephora, Target and Bed Bath & Beyond from 2016 to 2020. PFAS have been detected in:

  • 82% of tested waterproof mascara 
  • 63% of tested foundations
  • 62% of tested liquid lipsticks
  • 58% of tested eyeshadows, eye creams, and eyeliners

Greenwashing Brow Gels 

Avoid greenwashing Brow Gels products made by brands that pretend to be natural, safe, or better when they are not! They will use their misleading marketing tricks to convince you to buy their products.

An eyeshadow, even if they are made with some natural ingredients it may still contain controversial ingredients such as mica, titanium dioxide, or petroleum-derived ingredients. 

​

❌ Avoid Titanium Dioxide: CI 77891 once considered by the FDA as GRASE (generally recognized as safe and effective) and not misbranded, Titanium dioxide is no longer considered safe. The European Union has declared Titanium Dioxide a level 2 Carcinogen in all concentrations over 1%, & from 2024 all products with more than 1% Titanium Dioxide will have to bare warning labels. Titanium dioxide: Classified as expected to be toxic or harmful. Toxic when it is ingested, so avoid sunblock lip balms or lipsticks with titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide is classified as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, because of the potential of exposure through inhalation. Banned in the EU  for food application due to its potential carcinogenic effects. Titanium dioxide E 171 contains at most 50% of particles in the nano range (i.e. less than 100 nanometres) to which consumers may be exposed. 

According to The Guardian: “The EU’s decision to phase out titanium dioxide came after a re-evaluation of the safety of the food additive conducted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), an agency that delivers independent scientific advice to the EU about food-related risks.

EFSA scientists screened nearly 12,000 scientific publications. They were particularly interested in recent research on the “genotoxicity” of titanium dioxide nanoparticles – their ability to damage DNA and lead to cell mutations, potentially causing cancer. In animal studies, nanoparticles have been found to affect microorganisms in the gut, which could trigger diseases like intestinal and bowel inflammation and colorectal cancer.

​

❌ Avoid Mica: CI 77019 Mica is linked to child labor, often it takes place in developing countries that may rely on exploitative practices. Plus mica can contain heavy metals. Synthetic mica: is a man-made mica, called also fluorphlogopite, or synthetic fluorine, made with mica is colored yellow 10, blue 1, red 28, and many other fd&c food dyes that are derived from petroleum and banned in many countries due to potential links to cancer.

​

❌ Avoid petroleum-derived ingredients 

  • “CI 77742/Manganese Violet” is petroleum-derived and its synthesis requires ammonium dihydrogen phosphate: Comstock MC. ​
  • CI 15850/Red 7 Lake synthetic colorant
  • CI 42090 is a synthetic compound that gives a brilliant blue color to products

When I see some brow makeup look on social media, they seem somehow artificial, like they lost their natural look. They tend to achieve an altered version of their natural brow shape. They can look too dark or too precise, sticky or greasy. It can be too much. ​
