What, specifically, are the "pigments" in Dove eyeshadow?

The website lists ingredients but the last one is simply "pigments." I am allergic to chromium compounds, one is often a pigment. Could a rep from SN let me know, I'd love to buy this color! I couldn't use the "Contact Us" form because it requires an order #. Thank you!

The pigments in Dove are just iron oxides. We always declare the color ingredients in the individual products instead of the blanket "may contain xyz" so you know what you're getting.

Also, we don't typically use anything other than iron oxides, and micas in the GWP shadows. If there's anything different in there we always put a note on the GWP page.

With that said if you're super allergic we do use shared equipment, and we do use chromium oxide green in some of our products.

Perfect! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Yes, that darned "May contain:" disclosure prevents me, and I imagine many others, from using so many cosmetics.
