100% Pure Cosmetics Free Of Toxins & Carcinogens

Have you heard of 
?


100% Pure is an American ethical and health conscious cosmetics line that is 100% pure, environmentally friendly, and cruelty-free line founded by Ric Kostick, his wife Susan Wang, and her brother James Wang. The business started in 2005 in California that continues to be successful and grow all over the world. Their journey began with Susan Wang who used to work as a formulator and found out terrifying things on how carcinogenic and toxic elements were in everyday cosmetics.

100% Pure uses fruit and vegetable pigments for their makeup instead of synthetics dyes and food colorings (which are known to cause severe allergic reactions and possible anaphylactic shock. I will write a future blog about certain ones that I know exist in certain natural and organic cosmetics).


All ingredients are listed on their official site so there is no need to fear with 100% Pure. As you can see from the photo above they contain items that you know about. NO chemicals that you can not read! How wonderful is that. They only use food grade ingredients and don't use emulsifiers or fillers because that would dilute the product. You get pure products that are sensitive for every skin type.


I actually use some of their products and I think it's AMAZING. Here is my photo of my 100% Pure collection which is still growing of course. This is the pink box set from their gift set collection which runs for about 65 US dollars for two eyeshadows, blush, two brushes(no animal hairs whatsoever, all synthetic hairs), eye stick duo, lipstick, and mascara. The bunny bowl not included. ;)


 They are more affordable than most natural brand of it's kind. I have read reviews on some thought it was too expensive for the quality. I believe the product is of high quality and the price matches it just because you are getting ethical and healthier cosmetics that's not going to cause cancers and diseases. If you want cheaper cosmetics then you pretty much get what you pay for. They don't use any nano particles (like the titanium and zinc oxides) which can be extremely harmful as it can be directly absorbed into the skin. There are products that are also gluten-free which I didn't know you can go that way with makeup brands. The vitamin E that they get is derived from rice bran which I thought was so considerate of them.

NOTE:
They have mostly vegan makeup but sometimes vegetarian when they use cruelty-free honey.
All packaging is made from recycled material.

They have all kinds of products for all skin types. They have hundreds of items and it can take forever looking over all of them but it's worth the look because everything is in an adorable packaging. I've also noted that the smells are just amazing and not the fake perfum-y smell that gives you headaches. I am super sensitive to fragrances and so I only use fragrance free products unless it's natural fruits or essential oils. Natural smells are completely fine for me.

PERK:
They always come out with new items and always have sales which I'm sure we all love right?


Ingredients: Rice Powder, May contain all or some of the following powdered pigments: Cacao, Apricot, Peach, Vanilla, Coffee, Papaya and Tomato, Vitamin E (a-tocopherol), Lavender Flower Powder, Organic Rosehip Oil*, Avocado Butter, Coco Butter, Vitamin A (a-palmitate), Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
* certified organic by Baystate Organic Certifiers - 100percentpure.com


The only downside with the company (  there is lots to love  ) is that I think they use too few organic ingredients. I'm not saying they don't have any because they have a few. I hope sometime in the future that majority of their ingredients would be though! In the meantime, they have so many positive aspects that I would say that 100% Pure is one of the best brands out there for all natural and healthier cosmetics. 100% Pure is definitely a worthwhile and meaningful company to promote and support. They're having sales that are ending on four days from today. They are giving out a 6 piece set for any $35  purchase. This is such a great deal as you won't come by this very often with them. It's normally 80!
