Minimal Waste: Eye shadow singles come packaged in environmentally-friendly, recyclable paperboard envelope.

• Gluten Free, Vegan, Paraben Free
• Free of petroleum-based oils, alcohol, talc, fillers & fragrances enriched with botanicals and vitamins. Non GMO
• Batch tested for heavy metals including Lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium and several other contaminants. 
• They transparently note that they work with the National Resources Stewardship Council (NRSC) to obtain ethically-sourced mica, noting most of their supply comes from the US.  This is an on-going battle for them, and are constantly trying to ensure their mica is coming from child safe areas.
• While this product doesn't contain Titanium Dioxide, which is a carcinogenic, they note that any used in their products are free of nano-sized particles. This is important because Titanium Dioxide is most harmful when inhaled or ingested. Nano-sized particles are the most harmful.
• Finally, if you choose to try other Honeybee Garden Products, which I encourage you do to, be aware that they do have some that contain a suspected endocrine disruptor that is regulated by the EU, Phenoxyethanol. Here is a bit from their FAQ about their stance on why they justify it's use based on the current regulations: 
  • "Makeup and skin care products have to be preserved in some way to keep harmful mold and bacteria from growing on your products. Although the kind of phenoxyethanol used in skin care is synthetic (known as “nature identical,” it mimics the natural version exactly), phenoxyethanol is found in nature, specifically in green tea and chicory. According to the Cosmetic Ingredient Review, when used in concentrations of 1% or less, phenoxyethanol in skin care is safe. This is also the same standard the European Commission on Health and Food Safety uses as well. Some studies that have been published found phenoxyethanol to be a skin irritant, but in much larger concentrations. If you’re someone who is very prone to irritation or have sensitive skin, you can always do a small patch test before applying a product with phenoxyethanol to make sure you won’t have an adverse reaction. You can also check with your dermatologist to see if there is any reason you should stay away from it."

*It's important to also note that this description of phenoxyethanol is only one of the reasons why The Peony Haus will not curate any products containing it. There is a vast amount of research supporting it as a potential endocrine disruptor, including evidence in some animal studies showing effects on the nervous system at higher doses.
