That's really admirable that you are looking for natural alternatives!

I don't know about any natural ones but I will give up my loreal double extend waterproof mascara when the pry it out of my cold dead fingers.....
I have my makeup on before I eat breakfast....
I do use mostly "physicians formula" products, so maybe that's a bit better, but their mascara runs with my allergies and stings my eyes.

There are so many toxins that we battle nowadays - which put strain on our immune system which then causes disease. I wrote in a journal entry about registering for the re play of the "truth about cancer -Ty Bollinger" series on utube. Each episode is available for 24 hrs. You can also buy the whole set. There is a lot of info on this, not only for cancer but for all sickness and disease.
These are some of the toxins/ cause toxic effects :
Negative Emotions/stress
Cosmetics & creams
Pesticides & insecticides (eat organic)
GMO's
Root canal and mercury fillings
Aspartamine
Sugar
Vaccines
EMF's (electro magnetic frequencies)wifi, cell phones etc
Microwaves
PBA - plastics
Fluoride

Take charcoal tablets - they absorb toxins
Google for natural products. We can't eliminate everything, but we can be more aware and limit exposure. Hopefully feel better in the process!

Thank you for the responses! Nina... I had to laugh outloud about your comment about the mascara!! I can definitely understand what you are saying :) I am really hoping I can find a good alternative, because I am not giving it up all together.... :)
Featherjack, thanks for the website! It was getting a little overwhelming, so that seems like a good place to start.
Jamtart, I agree... there are so many things that can cause a strain on our system. Hopefully, by eliminating known stressors, we can find some improvements.

Featherjack.. I just got a chance to really look at that website! Thanks so much, it is a great resource! I think everyone should take a look at it if you have an opportunity... a real eye opener.

Oh, I just thought of this... Arbonne makes health and beauty products -- it's a bit like Amway, you recruit people and get a piece of their pie, or just buy for yourself and get the discounts. Anyway, my daughter is a distributor, and she did her first presentation at my kitchen table. (There is *some* stuff for men). The thing that impressed me the most, apart from the glowing, radiant skin of my daughter's recruiter who was there for guidance was the LOOOOONG list of things they did NOT do in their product development -- no animal testing was only the very beginning -- and the LOOOOONG list of regulations, treaties, protocols, blah, blah, blah, that they abided by, run-on sentence much? I think that would be a good place to check for alternatives.

Loved your reply Nina! I haven't been wearing mascara much because it's too hard to get off...especially waterproof. So I've been getting by with just eyeliner. When I do use mascara I've switched to Cover Girl Clump crusher, it really does never clump!

I would like to have make up that isn't tested on animals but it's just too much work to make sure everything is copacetic.

As far as mercury, that's the least of my worries about toxic metals. I have two replaced hips and two replaced knees, I have more metal roaming around in my body than anyone can imagine. And hey, you may have to have a replacement too eventually!

I have a feeling I'll outlive most of my friends though, we'll see....

Mascara? What's that? Haha. I've been so sick, I gave up on makeup long ago. What's the point if I never leave the house.
