Suncoat Natural Mascara
"This mascara is terrific. I have not been able to use conventional mascara since my allergy to parabens was identified in 1993. It's really great to use a proper mascara again"
Reading the ingredients list on a mascara container can be really scary! If you react badly to mascara with itchy or watery eyes, redness or swelling, you may be allergic to some of the chemicals and preservatives that are used in its manufacture.The most common culprits for allergic reactions are CI+ Me Isothiazoline, Quaternium-15, Thimerasol and Parabens, synthetic CoPolymers sych as PVP and Petroleum-based chemicals used as drying agents.
There is now a small number of organic mascaras on the market, but our testers were unimpressed with their performance and some were allergic to their plant-based ingredients so we felt unable to recommend them as an Allergy BestBuy.
Our testers' mascara of choice is Suncoat Natural Mascara that is uniquely formulated with sugar-based biopolymer as a binder rather than synthetic chemicals such as PVP (polyvinyl pyrolidone). This is a superior alternative for sensitive eyes. Suncoat Natural Mascara uses natural mineral pigments rather than FD&C dyes and is fragrance free and paraben free. Although not waterproof it has great wearability, resists smudging and washes off easily with regular cleanser and water.

Tester's Tip: "I tried removing the natural mascara using just plain water and a Microfibre Face Glove, rubbing gently in a circular movement. It was a complete success"!
