Eye Opener: Environmental Working Group

I have used the same mascara for the last few years. I use L'Oreal Voluminous Original Mascara. I have never had any issues with the product and use it because it does not irritate my eyes.


On EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetic Database it earned a score of 4. This means it has a moderate health concern. I am  not alarmed because I know that are healthier alternatives as well as more dangerous options. It does make me reconsider my choice. I have sensitive skin and in the allergies and immunotoxicity area the mascara had a moderate to high warning. This makes me nervous because even though I do not notice any side effects there definitely may be some.

  1. Your mascara scored lower than mine did. Maybe I should switch to L'oreal.
