Cassie Kids make-up doesn’t contain talc, parabens, silicone or any other unnecessary or toxic ingredients. So what does it contain?
Our quality products are made using a combination of the following:
Beeswax – this slightly thickens the products and gives some good stability. It also gives the lips a protective barrier against the elements
Calcium Carbonate – a naturally occurring form of calcium that is used as a mattifying ingredient
Candelilla Wax – we use this as a substitute for beeswax for vegan options of our products
Cetearyl and Cetyl Alcohol – these ingredients are also used as thickeners and give a beautiful, silky finish. They are derived from vegetable oils such as palm or coconut oil.
Cocoa Butter – this helps thicken some recipes. It is fat extracted from cocoa beans
Cold Pressed Lavender Essential Oil – a few drops provides a lovely fragrance to some of the products, but is only used in those that are not for use on or around eyes
Distilled Water – this is water that has gone through the process of distillation to remove impurities.
Geogard 221 Preservative – this is used for bacterial/fungal control in our products that use distilled water as one of the ingredients.
Iron Oxides – naturally occurring inorganic oxide used to give color to mineral makeup
Isopropyl Myristate – this is an ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid (a fatty acid that naturally occurs in coconut and palm oils). It is a very lightweight emollient and can be used like a carrier oil in many applications.
Mica – a naturally occurring mineral as well as natural-mimic synthetic mineral used to add colour, shimmer and sparkle
Natural Fractionated Coconut Oil – another ingredient that is part of our binder recipe for our eye shadows
Natural Jojoba Oil – a carrier oil that closely resembles our own skin’s sebum and rich in Vitamin E
Natural Kaolin Clay – naturally occurring inorganic mineral used to add colour
Organic Arrowroot Powder – this organic ingredient forms the base of several of our products
Organic Cold Pressed Castor Oil – this is one of the base oils and it provides a beautiful silky sheen
Organic Unrefined Shea Butter – helps to retain moisture in the skin and leaves the skin feeling supple and smooth
Organic Virgin Coconut Oil – this is another base oil which adds the glossy effect to some of the products
Soy Lecithin (Non GMO) – this ingredient provides a lovely gloss and thickener to some products
Stearic Acid – this is a fatty acid we use as a thickener and hardener. It occurs naturally in butters like cocoa and shea.
Sweet Almont Oil – this is one of our bases for many of our products and is derived from almond nuts
Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide – are both naturally occurring inorganic oxides used as mineral pigments. They reflect light, provide excellent coverage, and absorb UV-A and UV-B radiation
Vegetable Glycerin – this is one of our binder ingredients and is used instead of using alcohol or silicone
