I went through their website again and saw that they’ve updated some things. I made sure to edit that in the article. Thanks for your comment!

The young living website is down at the moment and I can’t find the ingredients lists anywhere to see exactly what they use, but that’s awesome if they are truly a clean product. My main concern is the ethics of this company and their history with being dishonest and then covering it up. I was very interested in using them awhile ago because I liked the looks of what they’re trying to do, however when I dug into the evidence the appearance didn’t match up with their practices. I can’t in good conscience support and recommend a company that does that.

Young Living Savvy Minerals makeup is awesome. The EU bans over 1600 chemicals from makeup. Young Living has 2500 chemicals they will not use. No Parabens, no talc, no heavy metals, no SLS, no phthalates, mainly vegan except for lip balm, and cruelty free. I feel absolutely confident using and promoting Savvy Minerals from Young Living.

I know some people love it, but I haven’t really delved into their ingredients. You could always check their ingredients out on the environmental working group’s Skin Deep database. Some brands advertise as being all natural mineral makeups, but I prefer to stick to plant based and avoid minerals and heavy metals entirely.

It seems like they have a long way to go before they could be considered a safe makeup brand. Their Botanical Foundation alone has artificial dyes, heavy metals and endocrine disruptors! “IPM, Castor Oil. Carnauba, Candililla, Ozokerite, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Propyl Paraben, BHT. Also May Contain: D&C Red #6, D&C Red #7, D&C Red #27, Cos. Green, Cos. Blue.” Hopefully they keep cleaning things up.

I have not. I’m very uncomfortable with Young Living’s business practices and don’t feel good about supporting them. And personally I prefer to use plant based and not mineral makeup , no matter how clean it claims to be.
