Review of the best hypoallergenic mascaras

Send

Allergies can develop on any cosmetic, including mascara. To remedy the situation, many manufacturers of cosmetics began to produce hypoallergenic products, consisting of natural ingredients and characterized by a lower risk of an allergic reaction. Quality samples can be found both among expensive and among budget funds, their advantages and disadvantages do not depend on the price.

In appearance hypoallergenic mascara is no different from the usual. Its features are composed. It usually includes natural ingredients that cannot irritate the eyes.

The main ingredients of a safe mascara are:

water,
iron oxide,
beeswax,
vitamins
Castor oil,
glycerol.

In no case should such a product include:

hydrogenated fatty acids - products of oil refining,
palm or carnauba wax used as a thickener,
thiomersal is a preservative containing mercury that is used as antifungal and antibacterial agent
propylene glycol is a compound produced from petroleum,
triethanolamine - preservative,
synthetic fragrances.

Beeswax, like any beekeeping product, can provoke an allergic reaction, but still it is much safer than its synthetic counterparts.

On the packaging of hypoallergenic mascara, you can find such inscriptions as “oftalmologically tested”, that is, “past ophthalmological control”, or “sensitive”, meaning that the product is suitable for sensitive eyes. This product can be used not only for women who are prone to allergies, but also for those who wear contact lenses.

Buy a cosmetic product is recommended in pharmacies or specialty stores. This will reduce the likelihood of acquiring low-quality goods or fakes. You should not choose mascara without specifying the composition or lack of information in the official language of the importing country.

Do you need such mascara?

Before choosing a remedy, find out if you are prone to allergies. This will tell you about the symptoms occurring after the application of mascara:

eyelid skin redness
itching, burning sensation or foreign body in the eyes,
redness of the conjunctiva and cornea of the eye (mucous membranes and protein),
increased tearing,
swelling of the eyes, hyperemia,
photosensitivity
sneezing, nasal congestion.

If the listed manifestations are observed every time after eye makeup, most likely, you are really prone to allergies and have very sensitive skin.

Definition

Mascara for eyes - decorative cosmetics for the face. Designed to emphasize the expressiveness of the organs of vision, to change the natural color of the eyelashes. Increase their volume, length and shape. Distinguish liquid, cream-like, dry and permanent mascara. She comes in different shades and colors. And also hypoallergenic.

Hypoallergenic mascara is intended for women prone to allergies. It will also suit girls who wear contact lenses. When using conventional mascara, inflammation may occur. The irritation reaction affects not only the eyelids, but also the mucous membrane of the eyes. And this often leads to a deterioration in vision. What can cause masculine allergies? The shelf life of cosmetics, which has already ended. And also intolerance of some components of the tool. It can be synthetic pigments, lanolin, essential oils, fats, parabens, fragrances.

Therefore, before buying mascara, you should carefully examine the composition of the product. It should not be:

hydrogenated fatty acids (Pentaerythrityl hydrogenated rosinate). This is a product of oil refining, which is added to improve viscosity. Mascara retains its texture for quite a long time. This component in some cases may cause irritation of the mucous membrane of the eye,
triethanolamine (Triethanolamine). Buffer agent used as a preservative. Contraindicated in people with individual hypersensitivity,
propylene glycol (Propylene glycol). An oil refining product, good solvent. It is not proven that the agent can be an allergen for the vast majority of consumers. But it can still cause allergies in some people
thiomersala (Thimerosal). Used as an antibacterial and antimycotic agent, a preservative. Mercury-containing substance. It may therefore be unsafe for the eyes,
palm wax (Carnuba wax). Most often it is harmless, but there is a separate intolerance to this substance. Used in the cosmetic industry as a thickener. Manufacturers often replace natural beeswax with carnauba.

Eyes should not be in contact with these irritants. From the use of carcasses with such components may appear the first signs of allergies: swelling, redness, tears.

In order not to provoke irritation you need to buy anti-allergenic cosmetics. And go responsibly to her choice. There are a lot of products for allergy sufferers on the modern market, including eyeliner, natural foundation, and moisturizing lipstick.

Selection features

Cosmetics are best bought in specialized stores or pharmacies.On the packaging with hypoallergenic cosmetics in a prominent place you can see the word “sensitive” (sensitive) or “oftalmologically tested” (passed ophthalmic control). The composition of cosmetic products must be written in the language of the importing country. Very often, a cosmetic product is advertised as hypoallergenic. But it happens that they made consciously mislead consumers with their inappropriate advertising. Therefore, before buying you need to carefully examine the composition of the mascara for the eyes. The main components of high-quality hypoallergenic carcasses are water (Purified Water) and natural beeswax (Beeswax).

Beeswax can also cause an allergic reaction.

In the list of components most often found:

glycerol (glycerinum). Prevents eyelash bonding and lump formation. Thanks to him, various immiscible blends are mixed in the production of decorative cosmetics,
vitamins A, E, B5, castor oil. Affect the growth of cilia,
iron oxide (ferrum cadmiae, Iron oxide). Used as a dye,
silk proteins. Protect eyelashes from the negative effects of the environment.

It is better not to use open mascara for more than 4 months. It is water-based, so bacteria that can cause an allergic reaction can accumulate in a tube.

There are drawbacks to hypoallergenic carcasses. It has a weak color intensity. After application, lumps may form in products of certain brands.

There are some advantages to such a mascara, in addition to its neutral properties:

It is washed off without any special means.
Its texture is rather tender.
Well moisturizes and nourishes the eyelashes. Do not glue them after application.

Hypoallergenic mascara, however, like other makeup products has different price categories. Producers of this product are trying to take into account the level of income of the population and their consumer ability. Indeed, the demand in this segment of the cosmetic market is much lower than the proposals.

Hypoallergenic mascara is in demand among consumers. Especially for those who are prone to allergic reactions. Also, this cosmetic product is suitable for all who wear contact lenses.

What is anti-allergic mascara?

This tool is intended for people with hypersensitivity to cosmetics - and in order to avoid the development of a reaction, it is rid of the most aggressive provocative components. Unfortunately, any prefix - whether it is "anti" or "hypo" next to the concept of "allergen" in the name does not mean that the product is absolutely safe.

He is considered as such, since a larger number of research participants conducted prior to the release of carcass on the market, noted the absence of intolerance symptoms. The reaction episodes, respectively, were rare or isolated at all - but the risk cannot be excluded.

The classic ingredients of the product are:

carnauba (palm) wax,
glycerol,
rice starch
vegetable moisturizer
purified water,
excipients (talc, etc.).

Sometimes synthetic wax is also used - it is impossible to do without this ingredient, because thanks to it mascara adds volume to the eyelashes. However, unlike natural bees, it is much less likely to provoke adverse reactions. Also in the composition you can find vitamins - although they are considered potential allergens, in practice, the sensitivity is not common - as opposed to ingestion in tablets or injections in the form of injections.

The stores offer a huge range of flakonchik with mascara, and most of them are sold after large-scale advertising campaigns. However, in a safe makeup product should not be:

Allergens of animal or vegetable origin. This is, first of all, beeswax, lanolin and essential oils. They can cause quite bright and hard flowing reactions - not only local (local, on the part of the eyes), but also systemic - that is, common, with the whole body involved in the pathological process.
Aggressive chemicals. Sometimes allergies are false - this is due to irritation of the eyes with components of the carcass (for example, alcohol or other antiseptics). Immune reactions are not involved, but the symptoms are similar.
Flavors, heavy metals, toxins. They do not affect the function of the carcass as a dye product, but they can provoke an intolerance reaction and other pathologies.

Be careful: even if the bottle is marked “hypoallergenic,” beeswax and other potentially dangerous ingredients may be included.

They are not always listed at the beginning of the list of components, so many people who are sensitive, when buying, simply do not realize that the product may pose a threat to health.

Most cosmetic companies, which are seriously on the market, have in the range of products means for people with a tendency to hypersensitivity. They are divided as:

mass market (otherwise - for wide consumption, they are distinguished by moderate prices, which does not mean at all a low-quality composition - on the contrary, quite decent options come across),
luxury (cosmetics of famous brands, the cost of which is much higher than the products of the previous segment),
pharmaceutical (used with a tendency to dermatitis, conjunctivitis, irritation of the mucous membrane of the eyes).

Hypoallergenic dyes have the same properties that classic mascaras - lengthen eyelashes, give volume, increase bending (twisting function), but at the same time the risk of discomfort and sensitivity symptoms are much lower. The TOP-10 rating includes such options as:

Bell HypoAllergenic (suitable for sensitive eyes, has a lengthening and volumetric effect).
Eveline Volume Mascara (strengthens the eyelashes due to the content of silk proteins, has a rich black color).
Divage Hypoallergenic (produced in Italy, can be used when wearing contact lenses).
Eva Cosmetics (voluminous black mascara, complete with an elastic brush).
Dermedic Neovisage Sensitive Eye Black (this is a medical cosmetics, so often not a perfume store, but a pharmacy that contains panthenol and carnauba wax) become a realizer.
Sisley Mascara So Intense (an elite product, characterized by the absence of harmful impurities, at the same time contains a small amount of beeswax, therefore it is not suitable for patients allergic to this component).
Clinique High Impact Curling (according to many reviews, the best hypoallergenic mascara, the manufacturer indicates the presence of a twisting effect).
Park Avenue Hypo Allergenic Mascara (a special type of purified water is used to create the product, vitamins and glycerin are also included in the formula, however, there is natural wax in it).
Lumene Nordic Chic Sensitive Touch (has a unique composition, thanks to which the dye is easy to apply and wash off).
IsaDora Hypo Allergenic (this is a hypoallergenic mascara and sensitive eyes that does not cause redness, itching of the eyelids and lacrimation, as it does not contain irritating components).

When choosing a product of any price category, one should pay attention first of all to the composition - if there are no ingredients for which sensitivity has been identified, the means for the eyes can be used without fear. To understand whether there is an immune reaction and determine what provokes it, you should consult a doctor and undergo a comprehensive diagnosis: skin tests, laboratory tests.

To keep your eyes healthy and not face unpleasant symptoms, you need to:

purchase ink from verified vendors who can provide quality certificates or other documents proving that the product is original, not fake,
monitor the preservation of the integrity of the protective film or tape - it is not allowed to sell used probes or open flacons,
avoid sharing carcasses with another person — even a family member,
change the means in time (after 3 months from the moment of opening the bottle),
not to add other cosmetics, oils and even water to the ink - and especially not to spit into it, this method of breeding too thick dye is a thing of the past and is fraught with the risk of infection,
stop using if the product emits an unpleasant, pungent smell that causes dizziness, nausea,
select not only hypoallergenic dyes, but also other cosmetics, including eyeliners, eye shadows, lotions and makeup creams from the group with a low risk of reaction.

If redness, itching, swelling, or skin rash appears, the same symptoms are expected after using the dye for the intended purpose. With such a tool is better to leave without regret. However, this test is not completely accurate - a true allergy is formed after some time (7-10 days or longer) after the initial contact with the provoking substance. And if before contact with him was not, the disease will manifest itself only after the start of the use of mascara in the eye makeup.

You are tormented by sneezing, coughing, itching, rashes and reddening of the skin, and you may have even more serious allergies. And the isolation of the allergen is unpleasant or impossible.

In addition, allergies lead to diseases such as asthma, urticaria, dermatitis. And the recommended drugs for some reason are not effective in your case and do not deal with the cause in any way ...

Why there is an allergy to mascara?

Cosmetics are designed to emphasize beauty - and if, when applied, the eyes begin to water, the eyelids swell, the nose itches and you have to constantly keep a handkerchief with you, you should think about the presence of individual sensitivity. Its cause may be a reaction to such components of the carcass as:

dyes,
preservatives,
flavors (fragrances),
essential oils,
vitamins
stabilizers,
solvents
beeswax,
keratin,
various resins
lanolin,
vegetable oils.

Agree to an impressive list. But that’s not all - the presence of heavy metals and toxins (nickel, chromium, chlorine, formaldehyde, mercury compounds) in the carcass is not excluded - and they act as active allergens and strong irritants. And at the same time they serve as an indicator of poor quality of the product or disruption of the production process, which, in essence, means the same thing: the consumer buys cosmetics that are hazardous to health.

Remember that expired mascara automatically becomes unusable.

Experts advise to change the bottle with a cosmetic product three months after opening - even if there is still a lot of paint, as foreign components accumulate in it (not only provoking reactions of intolerance to the substance, but also pathogens).

The product may contain distilled or purified water, iron oxide, beeswax, natural oils (castor, burdock and others), glycerin, as well as vitamin supplements, for example, E, A.

The wax is used as a natural thickener and gives the product the desired texture. Glycerin performs the functions of a solvent, softens other components, prevents their separation and separation. Allergy this component does not cause. Iron oxide, which is added instead of pigmented dyes, does not provoke undesirable reactions. Water is the basis of the ink, provides a comfortable application. Oils and vitamins nourish the cilia, moisturize them, strengthen and restore the structure.

In ordinary carcasses, you can find parabens, carnauba wax, fragrances, propylene glycol, thimerisol, refined products, hydrogenated fatty acids. These components should not have an irritating effect, but cause allergic reactions in people with hypersensitive skin.

What should not be in the composition?

Even if the product has a special label “hypoallergenic” in its name, you should pay attention to the composition. It is not always easy for a simple buyer to understand what components are listed there, so pay attention to such substances:

Pentaerythrityl hydrogenated rosinate or hydrogenated fatty acids. This component is a product of oil refining and is added as a viscosity regulator so that the mascara does not thicken ahead of time. Very often irritating to the eyes.
Carnauba wax or carnauba wax. Substance of natural origin, but is a powerful allergen. His presence in the composition is also not desirable.
Thimerosal is added as an antiseptic and preservative. In its composition contains mercury, the poet is also dangerous for the eyes.

The main difference of such cosmetics from the usual should be in the composition. All components of the hypoallergenic should be natural, gentle. Most often irritations are caused by fragrances, parabens and refined products.

In the carcasses for girls prone to allergies, the following substances are excluded:

Pentaerythrityl hydrogenatedrosinate, which contains parabens that are dangerous to the eyes. They most often cause a burning sensation and discomfort.
Palm tree wax or Carnuba wax. It is harmless by itself, however, individual intolerance to this product is often found.
Petroleum distillates is a refined product. It can cause redness, itching, and tearing.

Usually anti-allergic mascara contains beeswax, glycerin, iron oxide, water. All these components are the basis. Even iron oxide, which by its name reminds of a chemical compound, is in fact an absolutely natural component. It is he who gives cosmetics a rich black color.

The presence of vitamin B5 or panthenol is also welcomed, they take care of the cilia. Some manufacturers add silk proteins, they protect the eyelashes from the negative effects of the environment.

Important! It should be borne in mind that naturalness is not always very good. The presence of only natural ingredients suggests that the mascara will be badly applied and will last for no more than 4 hours.

It should be noted that such an adapted composition is suitable not only for those who already have been allergic to mascara. You can use this makeup if you have sensitive skin or wear contact lenses.

How to choose a good mascara

Unfortunately, manufacturers are not always honest with their customers. The inscription on the tube does not guarantee that the composition does not really contain parabens and fragrances. Therefore, before buying carefully read the composition, pay attention to the absence of prohibited names.

If you found castor oil, panthenol or vitamin B5 in the composition, then the brand can be safely called high-quality.

The following rules will also help you to distinguish a good mascara from a cheap fake:

Take the probe, brush it over the arm. Mascara should be evenly distributed throughout the painted area.

Pay attention to the smell. It should either be absent or have a sweetish aroma.
Do not buy tubes from the display case, most likely they were opened, which means that the shelf life has noticeably shortened.

For the same reason, do not use open mascara for more than 4 months. In the tube accumulate harmful microorganisms, which can also cause allergies. Never mix dried mascara.

Tip: hypoallergenic mascara is made on a water base, if you want to further protect and moisturize the eyelashes, then apply a keratin base on them.

We have reviewed the general characteristics of cosmetics, and a legitimate question arises: which hypoallergenic mascara is better? Answer it definitely can not, but you can consider popular brands and their features.

Top manufacturers

Like any other product, hypoallergenic mascara has different price categories. You can not compare cosmetics for 300 rubles. and for 1500 rubles.

There are no potentially hazardous ingredients in the composition, but aloe juice and vitamin B5 are included. The price will be 270-300 rub apiece.

“Max Factor 2000 Calories” is a popular representative of hypoallergenic carcasses. I must say that this line has both waterproof and twisting means. However, the classic version does not contain fragrances and parabens, and the cost varies within 400 rubles.

Mostly anti-allergenic cosmetics is expensive. Some brands are sold only in pharmacies or specialty stores. Therefore, there are much more proven brands among expensive cosmetics.

Choosing brands of hypoallergenic carcasses

Practically every girl uses decorative cosmetics every day. Tinting the lips and cilia, women create their own unique image, giving the face more expressiveness. However, not every mascara is suitable for any girl. Some have susceptible skin and allergies. In this case, it is necessary to select a special mascara with the effect of hypoallergenicity.

What it is?

In order for decorative cosmetics to be called hypoallergenic, it is necessary for natural ingredients to be included. Often, allergic reactions are caused by synthetic parabens, fragrances and other substances of the petroleum refining industry, which are used in cosmetology.

In the carcass, intended for allergic persons and women with hypersensitive skin should not be the following components:

Traditionally, the composition of hypoallergenic mascara includes such substances:

Wax component of natural origin.
Emollients.
Pure water.
Iron components.

These substances are natural and do not cause allergic reactions. At the same time, it must be remembered that natural components do not allow mascaras to stick on cilia for more than 3–4 hours. Therefore, it is not necessary to count on durability. Compounds with hypoallergenic properties are suitable not only for allergies, but also for those who use contact lenses. Not infrequently, chemical components adversely affect the lens sheath, while natural substances are neutral.

Choosing high-quality mascara

Not every manufacturer is honest with customers. Often, the composition of the product includes chemical components, and the manufacturer simply does not indicate on the packaging. How to choose in this case, hypoallergenic mascara for sensitive consumers?

Experts say that there is one easy way to check the safety of a product. If you find panthenol, vitamins or oil in the list of ingredients, this product can be safely attributed to safe, non-allergenic reactions.

Plus, you need to visually evaluate the product:

If you hold a brush on the hand on the skin should remain uniform mark.
In this case, the mascara must exude a sugar flavor or be completely odorless.
Do not buy a tube that is on display. Buyers have repeatedly discovered and tested mascara on personal experience, which means the product is filled with millions of other people’s bacteria.

And even if you purchased this hypoallergenic mascara, you do not need to use it for more than 4 months. During this time, a large number of pathogenic bacteria are collected on the brush, which, when they hit sensitive skin, cause allergic reactions.

Best brand
