Why Talc-Free Matters for Sensitive Skin
Many conventional blushes contain talc as a filler. While talc helps create a silky texture, it can absorb natural oils and cause irritation - especially for mature or sensitive skin. The FDA notes ongoing research into talc safety, prompting many to seek alternatives.
At Red Apple Lipstick, we eliminated talc entirely. Our formulas focus on skin-nourishing minerals that provide buildable color without compromising skin health.
Our Skin-Loving Ingredients Explained
Every ingredient serves a purpose. Here's what makes our blush different:
- 💖 Zinc Oxide - Calms reactive skin while providing a natural barrier
- 💖 Silica - Creates that coveted airbrushed finish without settling into lines
- 💖 Iron Oxides & Mica - Mineral pigments that deliver true, blendable color
No synthetic fragrances. No parabens. Just pure, skin-respecting color. As cosmetic chemist Linda Johnson notes: "Mineral-based formulas with zinc are ideal for sensitive skin. They provide color payoff without common irritants."
Special Benefits for Women 40+
