As consumers, we deserve and should expect products we ingest or put on our bodies to be toxic free. I became interested in green beauty almost a decade ago, but we still have a long way to go. Initially, the green beauty industry seemed a little limited when it came to foundations for women of color. However, many have gone above and beyond to become more inclusive. Although Hynt Beauty only offers eight foundation colors, each is mutable, which means that each shade is designed ”with a unique blend of colors to fit the varying undertones of different ethnic skin colors, most women from around the globe will be able to find a shade that will become a perfect match”.
We deserve better!
So, what should you avoid and why?
Parabens are known to be hormone disruptors
Bismuth oxychloride is a known skin irritant and is usually used as a filler in beauty products.
Talc, there is some controversy concerning talc. It sometimes laced with carcinogens (Asbestos).
Silicone can be drying and tends to clog pores.
Mineral oil tends to clog pores.
GMOs are known irritants and hormone disruptors.
Artificial fragrance is a known allergen.
Artificial preservatives are linked to endocrine/hormonal disruptions.
FD&C dyes are known to cause allergic reactions and irritation.
Carmine is a natural dye derived from bugs! Need I say more?
Phthalates are linked to endocrine disruption.

I am so glad you stopped by and enjoyed the post Emily. What’s one positive change you’ve noticed since becoming a vegan?
I love articles like this that promote organic and vegan products. They are far better than the chemical ones and way better for our skin and hair. Great Article, Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I’ve been an advocate of clean beauty for years. What the one beauty product (brand) you can’t leave without?
Trying to go more holistic with makeup, so I love this. 😊
That’s wonderful, just take your time, read/watch reviews and do what works best for you!
As a black women, it has been a struggle to find holistic makeup that also matches my skin tone, so this is great! Hynt is new to be from reading this so I will be sure to consider this on my next makeup haul. And knowing it is vegan and organic is even better for my skin.
I love that a brand is making healthier makeup!!!
Great information! I didn’t know about the effects with hormones.
I don’t use make up much because of its chemical formula. It is good to know about some organic things. Thanks for sharing!
This brand sounds so cool! Never heard of it but I love what it stands for 😊 thank you for sharing!
