DO NOT TRUST THE EWG. DOCTORS, ESPECIALLY DERMATOLOGISTS, CRITICIZE THE EWG FOR THEIR PRACTICES AND HOW THEY RATE PRODUCTS. THE EWG IS FUNDED BY COMPANIES LOOKING TO GET EWG CERTIFIED. THE LEVEL OF CONCERN THEY HAVE OVER CERTAIN INGREDIENTS IS MOSTLY HYSTERIA- AS THE AMOUNT IN SKINCARE IS NEGLIGIBLE. DO NOT TRUST EWG- EWG HAS BEEN CRITICIZED BY THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY.

They seem to compete in the same space as BeautyCounter. The ingredients seem good, but I am no Maia/Gimme The Good Stuff people 🙂
Thanks! Shannon

I didn’t think much of the ingredients until yesterday I tried the bareMinerals lash domination mascara. Towards the end of the day my eyes started burning and this morning I woke up (yes I removed it when it started irritating my eyes) and my eye has a red dot on the eyeball and my eyes feel like I had an allergic reaction. Scary. Will definitely try one of the better ingredient ones on your list.

I love that you’ve featured Pure Haven Essentials on your good list. However, the company is now known just as Pure Haven and has made huge strides since the Ava Anderson days. The company is completely transparent with their ingredients and they do not compromise. Each and every ingredient goes through a strict sourcing process. All products are made in small batches, in a USDA certified organic facility in Rhode Island. I have been anticipating a new makeup line for over 2 years but because of their strict sourcing practices, they are doing their due diligence. Please consider updating your description to only reflect the good Pure Haven is doing! They are educating and empowering hundreds of families everything to choose the healthiest products.

Thank you so much for this list! What a great read to come across while I was researching a new mascara. I have used some of the Good Stuff mascaras before but recently purchased W3ll People’s mascara. I was surprised to see it listed under Sneaky but then when I compared the list of ingredients on my product box to the questionable ingredients you mentioned – benzyl alcohol, geraniol and limonene – I don’t seem them listed there. Could these be known under a different name?

Here are the ingredients on my bottle:

Aqua (Water), Cera Alba (Beeswax)*, C10-18 Tryglycerides, Stearic Acid, Copernica Cerifera Cera / Copernicia Cerifera Cera (Canuba) Wax*, Castor Isostearate Beeswax Succinate, Glyceryl Stearate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Glycerin, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Benzoate, Xanthum Gum, Cellulose, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil / Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil [+/-Cl 77891 Titanium Dioxide, Cl 77491 and Cl 77499 Iron Oxides, Cl 77007 Ultramarines, Cl 74570 Carmine]

Thank you so much!! And, of course I understand if you don’t have time to look this over – I appreciate your website so much. I just thought I would add this comment in case.

Thanks!

Kara

Unfortunately, I don’t know any mascara that forgoes all preservatives. Without something to preserve the mascara, you’d run the risk of mold or other spoilage.

Only one was in the above mascara was: iron oxides (CI77499), https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ingredient/706410/IRON_OXIDES/#.WlhQq5M-d24
this ingredients EWG 1 rating= low hazard.
Do you refer to other EWG lists for reference? Is the EWG accurate? As sometimes I see you list the score but sometimes you write it isn’t accurate. So I am not sure why you state this.
Thanks in advance! I appreciate all you teach us!

Having had an eye infection A few months ago, which caused my eyelashes to fall out on both eyes, I have been trying to find a mascara that doesn’t burn or irritate them. I recently tried Tropic mascara, which was recommended to me, but unfortunately this product caused my eyes to water and burn from day one of using it. I had been using Dr Hauschka’s Volume Mascara in the past, but stopped using it as EWG’s rating was poor for this product. Has anyone tried Dusty Girls Natural Mineral Mascara (Night Fall) Dusty Girls Make Up is part of the MooGoo company, based in Australia? Poofy Organics Mascara sounds a good mascara. Would this be worth a try? (I live in the U.K)

It’s actually not terrible (skips the parabens and some other really Bad Stuff), but I wouldn’t call it Good Stuff.

Shelly with Rejuva Minerals here. Thank you for including EWG Verified Pur’ Lash mascara among the safe alternatives! Yes, both Pur’ lash and Mega Lash have received superior ratings from EWG and we are in the process of submitting Mega Lash for verification as well! As for the ingredients, we offer full disclosure on our website. To clarify, the information submitted to the EWG is the same as what is on the site, however some of the more easily recognizable names have been substituted in place of the botanical/scientific names. For example; ‘Simmondsia Chinensis’ was replaced with ‘Jojoba’. I hope I was able to clarify things! Thanks again 😀

Seriously, never! Not since middle school. I used to spend lots of money on mascara from makeup counters at department stores and then Sephora. I made the change to Non toxic products a few years ago. The hardest thing for me to change was mascara. I tried to convince myself it was ok to keep using my old favorites since it was just my eyelashes and how much could really be absorbed?? Anyway, eventually I figured I’d try Poofy mascara because why not? If it didn’t work, I’d just go back to my old mascaras. But after getting used to it for a few days, I found I actually love Poofy mascara! It is comparable to my expensive brands on performance but so, so much better than them in the safety category! I’ve now gone through a few tubes of Poofy and have no plans of changing any time soon. I love that I am supporting a small business while shopping through them too. I’m not just another number like I was at Sephora.

I was curious about the Poofy mascara but put off ordering it because 1) I didn’t think an all natural would ever work as well as my current brand and 2) it’s twice as expensive ($20) as my current. Compared to a lot of nicer brands this is not too expensive but I’ve always tried to stay around $8-12 on mascara. I bit the bullet and tried Poofy just so I could say I tried a makeup product.

Very surprised at how much I love the mascara as I wasn’t expecting to. It went on smoothly and didn’t flake or clump. Lashes were lengthened and didn’t stick together. If I got mascara anywhere other than my eye it came off easily. The tube was actually bigger than I thought it would be too.
Two other things that jumped out at me: It didn’t have that mascara smell. It didn’t make my eyes burn while applying. I had always considered the slightly burning eyes a result from not trying to blink while applying. I applied Poofy the same way and no burning. Hmmmm….
And luckily and most importantly the wand is “my style”. 🙂
Also smudge proof and water resistant. Stays on great and removes very easily at the end of the day.

I was a mascara hoarder. I couldn’t get enough of the cheap tricks by covergirl, reckon, maybelline (spelling,) even the high-end department store names made it into my makeup stash. Every. Single. One. Of those mascaras would burn my eyes, I’d tear up from them, and I’d be itchy all day because of the plethora of chemicals laced in those mascara formulas. Then Poofy came along. My eyes have thanked me since. Nice for every day use and also can be layered to give some volume. Highly recommend!

It coats, lengthens, and separates lashes so beautifully. It is not water proof, which I like because it’s easy to remove at night. It lasts all day with no smudging. It’s a bonus that this mascara is free of toxins & handmade & packaged here in the USA at a small family business in NJ. Love love love this stuff, can’t say enough good things about it!!!

I’m a total poofy convert!!

I’m not a makeup expert so I can’t compare it to other brands but it is one of my customers’ favorite products. It coats the lashes well and lasts all day (but it is not waterproof). Maybe people who find mascara burns their eyes find Poofy’s does not! Not only all that, but it is HANDMADE, as are all products from Poofy Organics. And it is a great price point at $20 and from a USDA certified-organic company. An overall great combination for a product!
