What does this do to or environment?
Providing our skin with the perfect look and covering up minor blemishes, foundation crème is a lifesaver during several occasions. Nonetheless, it causes plentiful damage to the environment. They contain countless chemicals that cause pollution and have often huge carbon footprints.
What is the Alternative?
Base Options:
-
Arrowroot powder – Very white so you can start light and add color from there.
-
Rice bran powder – a creamier color than the arrowroot powder, but does not absorb moisture as much (good if you have dry skin).
-
Orris root powder – This is also a very light cream color and makes a good base.
-
Nutmeg – Nutmeg is the darkest of the three tones listed, but makes a beautiful color when mixed with the above.
