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.
