I found information on single eyeshadow products, ingredients, and materials from various sources. Here are the details:
Single Eyeshadow Product Details
- ISMINE Single Eyeshadow Powder Palette is a pressed powder shadow that features highly pigmented, long-lasting colors with a beautiful matte finish. It comes in a net weight of 3g/0.1oz.
- The Power Neutral Eyeshadow Palette by Well People is a vegan eyeshadow palette that contains five long-lasting matte and shimmer shades. It is infused with grapeseed oil and jojoba seed oil for a dreamy velvety texture.
Positive and Negative Ingredients or Materials
- A few key ingredients across all eyeshadow palettes are silica, mica, and talc, and caprylic/capric triglyceride. These ingredients must be sourced as a raw material or synthesized inorganically in a lab. Regardless of acquisition methodology, both collection processes end in environmental damage.
- Nyx eyeshadow palettes contain very basic ingredients and formulations, as expected by their price. While all four palettes are slightly different, they all mostly contain the same ingredients. If there is an ingredient found in these palettes that you’d rather avoid, you’d likely have a hard time finding another palette you can use, as most of the compounds contained are standard.
- Talc is usually used as the primary ingredient in powdered eyeshadow products, but it is an ingredient to avoid when purchasing eyeshadow. Most clean beauty brands choose to exclude talc altogether in their formulas, especially since there are so many alternatives to use instead. Other common ingredients to avoid in eyeshadows include bismuth oxychloride, fragrance, gluten (if you have a sensitivity), nanoparticles, parabens, paraffin, PEGs, and phenoxyethanol.
