I actually prefer this kind of content vs every influencer using the “it” product of the week and giving a review. There is space for all the different kinds of content, but there is so much more to know about the cosmetics and skin care we love - so thank you!
As cosmetic formulator, a lot of these posts tend to be bad. You did such a good job with this topic! We should not fear chemicals but we should not be using anything haphazard. In my professional opinion, it has made a lot of brands worse. Those natural preservatives do not hold a candle to a paraben. And we wonder why we are seeing more recalls.
Exactly! Every chemist I've worked with has said the dangers of using natural preservatives far outweighs anything from some synthetic ones that keep bacteria, mold, etc from growing inside your makeup. Love that you're a formulator!
Zachariah, I hate to do this, but I always want to know when I am using words wrong. It's "haphazard" not half hazard. I know you must be well educated, i am not trying to be rude or demeaning, but I get so embarrassed when I find out I've been mispeaking (& it happens a lot, I've changed industries and mixed up very key words lol).
Oohhhh iiiii! Another informative video from Marlena. I love the research you put into these videos, and into MUG at the time. Integrity matters. I know this will translate into all your business endeavours.
Thank you for being such a transparent and informed resource who offers factual insight to help educate your audience. You are so easy to like as a human and make it easy to want to support you ❤
Let me tell you what's irritating on the skin...CARMINE! Some of us are severely allergic to it! I didn't dare buy Makeup Geek, even tho i so wanted to, because you used carmine in EVERYTHING! And then I found out about "carmine paprika" from a serious allergic reaction. Don't buy the chinese prepared food from Wegmans, they're serving you crushed bugs!
Cosmetic Chemist here: order of ingredients is highest to lowest concentration until you reach the 1% line! Once you are at 1% and below, ingredients can be arranged however the brand or formulator sees fit (for the most part) so even if something seems “higher” on the list it could still be an ingredient just for marketing.
I know this is 3 months old 😂 so you might not see this, but figured I’d ask - I always knew about the order going highest to lowest in concentration. Recently, there was a product I used up and went back to repurchase and saw the order of the ingredient list changed. They used to have 14% concentration of a certain ingredient and it was the 1st ingredient in a very short ingredient list. But, when I went back to repurchase it, all of a sudden that ingredient was down at the bottom. I was upset they switched it and were still claiming it had a 14% concentration and decided not to repurchase. But, I did email the brand asking them why they are claiming it has 14% concentration still when that ingredient moved from being the 1st ingredient to down at the bottom. They said they changed the order to be listed in descending order of weight rather than concentration. I’d never heard of that before. Is that something skincare brands can do? Even if they can, I don’t understand at all why they’d want to? People are going to see the “main” ingredient they’re claiming is in a 14% concentration is at the end of the ingredient list, and most are going to think it’s in order of highest to lowest concentration and not buy it. So odd!
By the way, I tried to do my eye makeup like you do, and ….I got a compliment on how beautiful it looked!! I immediately told my coworker I learned it from you!! So thank you!!
Thank you for this! There’s a beauty guru I follow that used to fear monger people by saying she’s not using certain things bc of how bad they are…and it really made me upset that nothing was ever backed up or just sounded off. So I love something as super informative as this and hope this person watches this.
I think it's a business decision for many creators, they know greenwashing + fear = views. If you are talking about Tati, please unsubscribe, she 100% knows she's spouting nonsense. I'm in marketing, tbh, it's super easy to fib about stuff like this and seem very genuine. I have a whole one woman skit I do to show people how well someone of us can perform, it's alarming to you honest people, but pls know, about half the population is pretty damn good at fibbing their sincerity and data.
Can you please, please, please do a video on common eye makeup ingredients that cause eye irritation? I seem to have developed an allergy to eye makeup, but don’t even know where to start with figuring out which ingredient is the culprit.
I’m an Industrial Hygienist/ Occupational Safety professional at a military base. Yes, the dose makes the poison. The concentration, frequency and duration of use of a chemical makes a lot of difference! Some chemicals can be allergens or sensitizers (citrus essential oil does that to my skin). I also avoid clean beauty for many reasons: it’s expensive, unregulated and expires quickly.
Always, ALWAYS read the ingredients. Some products claim to be “fragrance-free” but when they use essential oils…umm, hello, those usually have a scent. Some manufacturers use masking scents to cover up the chemical smells.
Just to be clear, the companies are not necessarily lying, I believe in cosmetics, "fragrance" means something very specific, and "fragrance free" does not mean smell-free. I'm pro EO but also pro science, so I'm torn on adding EOs, a few formulations do it well, but I mostly stick to DIY so I can control %s. But I have given myself a few chemicals burns so I admit it can be dumb to use EOs on the skin in most cases.
So glad to see you uploading videos on a regular basis again. You truly have been one of my favorite RUclipsrs and one of the first that I followed 10 years ago. Your also one of the few from back then that I continue to follow because I know I can trust you to be honest and you also create some beautiful looks. 😍☺️
@@moni70963 and there are plenty of studies who show that the use of parabens can be terrible for pregnancy, poor methylation, hormonal disorders and insulin resistance.
Marlena, I love your candidness in all your videos! You are a joy because of your honesty and genuineness. I wish you and your beautiful family (you are beautiful too) all things good and healthy!!
Then you should do researchers about Methyalation and what endocrine disrupters like parabens can do to people with mthfr, poor methylation, pcos, hormonal disorders or even insulin resistance. Clean Beauty is an alternative for people with these issues.
Thank you Marlena. It’s so wonderful having you for our resource and knowledge on this platform. Your wealth of information and expertise is so valuable to me. I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude that you take up your valuable time to provide this information. I appreciate the links also.❤
Thank you, Marlena, for this informative video based on current science. Carmine is an issue to the kosher consumer in lip products. While that's not the intention, we do end up eating them, and that's a problem. Eye products and blush are another story.
Thank you for these educational videos! I’m so glad there are other people out there who like to geek out on makeup and skin care ingredients! Over the years, I have found I am allergic to a lot of ingredients in certain makeup and skincare products, and it’s only been by me researching and trying a lot of products that I have been able to determine what irritates my skin and eyes. I can’t wait for the follow up with clean beauty, as I have found that a lot of those items irritate me worse than conventional items do.
Wow are you helpful!! Thank you SO much for sharing your expertise. I sincerely appreciate your level headed insights. Many best wishes for your continued success and happiness.❤
I partially disagree because even a small percent is accumulative. most people in this country are already poisoning themselves everyday with industrial oils in food which is also accumulative.
Yay! I was a little worried when I saw the title but then remembered you have manufactured commercial makeup, you aren't likely suddenly afraid of big science words lol...
Just FYI, in some countrys (ie. Brazil (where I live)) it is not mandatory to list the ingredients in order of concentration, so a brand can list an ingredient as one if the first and not be on a high concetration on that product.
Thank you for this amazing video. I really appreciate the way you are teaching us the important facts that we really need to know.. It's wonderful to see you again
You're my favorite RUclipsr because of your content, presentation method/style, and for informing us on a variety of topics. I've learned SO much from you about makeup formulations and makeup application I look better now at 70 than I did at 40! How do I thank you for that??? XOXO
Thank you for this video. I uploaded one about a month ago about there possibility being heavy metals in our makeup. I did that video because my eyelids have an allergic reaction to pressed pigments (organic pressed pigments). So, even though approved in the EU, I'm glad they're not approved in the US for use around the eye area. I did that video after researching what "pressed pigment" ingredients are. It was overwhelming. I also have an allergic reaction to Carmine, depending on how much is in that particular eyeshadow. It's an irritant to my lids. As you said, it does depend on where those ingredients are within the ingredient list. I'd love for you to give me your professional feedback on that video. I'm really enjoying this new series you're doing.
So glad you mentioned purple! EVERY makeup guru says it is notoriously difficult to formulate purple. And I agree, the formula can be very hit or miss. I would love to hear your specific experience and thoughts on this! Why exactly is it so difficult to formulate purple? Is good purple only achievable with dyes?
What is your stance on cosmetic brands using unethically sourced mica or other ingredients? And can you please make a video on this topic specially and also talk about brands using ethically sourced ingredients. This was a very informative video! Love ❤
I definitely have thoughts! I had my manufacturers prove the suppliers were not using child labor. Sadly it’s mostly happening in India from what I understand. Many brands are now moving to synthetic mica as a replacement because of this issue
Hi Marlena, just watched your podcast with The Sesh.. you are a strong & caring ‘woman’. Looking forward to your academy. Pls. Post for seniors as well.. learnt a lot from your channel.. greetings from SF & god bless. ❤
Good to hear your take on EWG. That pay to play model is bunk and Id never heard of. I got so scared when I ran my products through their database and was ready to trash $hundreds in products. Paula's Choice beautypedia is great.
Thank you for this. You give the information and we decide on specific products for ourselves, if we feel like we're ok it . And I love the fact you put the info out about the different standards and ewg being bs. I've been trying trying to spread the word about that site but people just don't want to believe it
Also i'm a little annoyed with the "it must be vegan" push because carmine is not laced with arsenic, cadmium and lead that iron oxides from the earth naturally have.
What lipstick are you wearing? Your makeup today had me in awww you look gorgeous .. a tutorial would be wonderful but really need to know what lipstick you are wearing please
Excellent content! I love learning from you as you are not only full of knowledge but an amazing teacher. Please do a video for hair. Your hair is always on point and I would love to hear your thoughts and share. ❤
Thank you so much Marlena! I have really been enjoying these very informative videos and sharing the sites so that we too can make an informed decision on what we put on our face and skin. xo😉
Can you make a video explaining expiration timeline. I don’t finished my foundation quickly so I still have some bottles than are over 12months old. Also, as I started to add blushes and powder to my collection I have some that are old and I still use them. I feel is wasteful to buy blushes only two throw then away 12months later. Is using old makeup really bad?
It is not just about being a chemistry expert. You need to know how your methylation is working and after that you will know if clean Beauty is better for you or not. Methylation is key to detoxification. If you don't methylate properly, you shouldn't use products with endocrine disrupters. I don't care how many experts on chemistry tell me that a small amount of parabens are safe. Poor methylation = you can't detoxify. That can affect your health in many ways.
I just recently started watching your videos and they are SOOOO GOOD! You have a wealth of knowledge and information. Thank you so much for sharing. BTW, we are the same age and I am a middle school chorus teacher! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I still question the concentrations. Sure 10%of somethihg in a product is fine, but what if I am laying 20 products each day that each have that top allowed amount? That would have to build up when taken together.
If a product has a small percentage of something bad if you use it everyday and night like most products are directed to be used that way that accumulates in your body. This generation of young women having thyroid disorders is CRAZY it has never been seen before of how many young women have thyroid issues under the age of 30 which is not common in our parents and grandparents generation and i definitely blame that on the fact this generation is using cosmetic products a lot younger. My friend took out bht and bha from her cosmetics and she started getting her period on time for the first time in a long time. Idc what chemists want to say they want to push and sell products they dont care about how they are abusing womens bodies and our hormones.

As a Chemist, myself, Marlena is exactly correct on EWG. Very questionable. Parabens insure a clean and safe product. Formaldehyde is a big NO, tho.
I am a chemist too. Parabens are one of the worst ingredients for us and the environment. Both of us can't be correct.
@@moni70963 and there are plenty of studies who show that the use of parabens can be terrible for pregnancy, poor methylation, hormonal disorders and insulin resistance.

It is not just about being a chemistry expert. You need to know how your methylation is working and after that you will know if clean Beauty is better for you or not. Methylation is key to detoxification. If you don't methylate properly, you shouldn't use products with endocrine disrupters. I don't care how many experts on chemistry tell me that a small amount of parabens are safe. Poor methylation = you can't detoxify. That can affect your health in many ways.
