10. Natural Makeup Is Always Safer
The perception that “natural” or “organic” makeup is inherently safer than synthetic alternatives isn’t always accurate. These products can still cause irritation or allergic reactions, especially in sensitive individuals. The term “natural” isn’t strictly regulated, so formulations and ingredient quality can vary widely.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, even natural ingredients—like botanical extracts or essential oils—may trigger adverse skin reactions. It’s essential to review ingredient lists and conduct a patch test before using any new product, regardless of its marketing claims, to ensure your skin’s safety and well-being.
