But the database also mentioned that the ingredient has low to moderate hazard depending on usage and formulation.

This is a big issue for me and it was a hard process for me to find a mineral makeup company that does not use micro minerals. After trying several brands I found Faerie Organic Minerals. They state that they do not use nano or microparticles right on their front page so I liked that. I haven’t heard if anyone knows if bare escentuals uses micro particles but after using BE I belive they do. Their foundation has that “feel” to it that others do that use micro minerals. I think I’ll stick with faerie organic’s minerals for now.

Okay, I think you misunderstood the content here. I’m saying that I read this warning from their website. Lavera makeup do not contain such particles. Sorry for the undue alarm.

Hi again,

I just found that the lavera make-up is apparently free from nano particles, i’m confused! did they change it or i read it from another source…?
