Hello beautiful! If your cheeks get angry every time you try to add a little flush, you're not alone. As someone with sensitive skin myself, I know how frustrating it is to choose between looking washed out or dealing with redness and bumps. That's why our hypoallergenic blush formulas at Red Apple Lipstick are specially crafted for reactive skin - giving you that healthy glow without the aftermath.

Why Hypoallergenic Blush Matters for Mature Skin
After 40, our skin becomes more reactive. Common blush ingredients like talc and synthetic fragrances can cause flushing, bumps, or dermatitis. Dermatologist Dr. Lisa Richards confirms: "Mineral-based formulas with zinc oxide are ideal for sensitive or mature skin as they're less likely to clog pores or cause inflammation."
What Makes Our Blush Truly Hypoallergenic
We stripped out all the irritants and built our formula around skin-nourishing minerals:
- Zinc Oxide - Creates a protective barrier while calming redness
- Silica - Gives that airbrushed, blurring effect on fine lines
- Iron Oxides & Mica - Natural pigments that deliver buildable color
No talc. No parabens. No synthetic fragrances. Just pure, skin-friendly color. As cosmetic chemist Amanda Fox explains: "Zinc oxide is a multitasker - it provides coverage while actually soothing irritated skin."
