- May contain (+/-): Carmine: a pigment derived from carminic acid, from the scales of certain insects such as the cochineal. Vegans and people not turned on by bugs should not use the products we make with carmine. Carmine is the only red color alternative to synthetic FD&C coloring, however, so we feel it is the better choice.

The website "Skin Deep", which measures toxicity in make-up, indicates that titanium dioxide has "little absorption and no adverse health effects". Titanium dioxide can be found in toothpastes and other food substances as well. It is rated very safe by all accounts, but working with the substance can cause lung and respiratory problems.
