Lip gloss reactions?

Post by ChristineLynnP » Tue Nov 24, 2009 6:44 pm

I have extremely sensitive, acne-prone skin that's mostly under control now, but it is still severely reactive. Lip gloss/balms are a nightmare for me... in my whole life, I've only found one plain lip balm that doesn't make me break out all around my mouth, and for now, I'm almost positive that the EDM lip glosses don't, but I haven't worn them for a long enough in one shot to be 100% sure. How would you all say SN glosses compare as far as being gentle, non-comedigenic (I'm fairly certain I butchered that word... sorry!), and how likely/unlikely are the ingredients to cause adverse reactions?

Guess I should've posted this in "General make-up talk." Sorry!

Can you post the ingredients of the one that works for you? Or at least tell me what it is so I can look it up? Is it a clear balm? There could be so many things that cause the problems for you. I can look up the ingredients of the EDM ones.

The balm that I know for a fact doesn't cause a reaction is Soul Kiss by Biggs & Featherbelle. It is a clear balm, yes, but I need color in my life too :D and am hoping the SN will work for me.

The ingredients in this balm are:

Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond Butter, Kokum Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, Vitamin E & Essential Oil Blend (Balsam of Peru & Bergamot)

I can't think of anything you could react to in ours, especially if you seem to tolerate the EO's in the others. I would start with one.......
