Most BECCA products are paraben-free, however some of our products do contain parabens.
BECCA’s products which DO contain parabens include but are not limited to:

• Pressed Bronzing Powder
• Silky Hydrating Primer

Parabens are the most widely used preservatives in cosmetics products. Chemically, parabens are esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. The most common parabens used in cosmetic products are methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben. Typically, more than one paraben is used in a product, and they are often used in combination with other types of preservatives to provide preservation against microbial growth, both to protect consumers and to maintain product integrity.

DEAR CEO,
ReplyDeleteDO BECCA PRODUCTS CONTAIN IRRITATING PLANT EXTRACTS, ESSENTIAL OILS OR ALCOHOLS?
Dear valuable customer,
ReplyDeleteNo. BECCA products do not contain any irritating oils such as menthol, peppermint, eucalyptus, lemon, orange, grapefruit, etc. The only plant-derived oils used in formulating BECCA products are castor oil and avocado oil, both of which are beneficial to the skin. BECCA products do not contain any of the problematic alcohols such as SD alcohol, ethyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol or grain alcohol. We are careful to ensure that the only form of alcohol in BECCA products is cetyl or cetearyl alcohol.
This is an emollient, fatty alcohol derived naturally or synthetically from coconut and is neither an irritant nor comedogenic (pore clogging).
HI,
ReplyDeleteARE ANY OF THE BECCA PRODUCTS COMEDOGENIC (PORE-CLOGGING)?
BECCA products are carefully formulated and then dermatologically and clinically tested to be non-comedogenic. Unfortunately it is not possible to guarantee that every ingredient will be non-pore clogging for every individual. The way the product sits on the skin, the size of the pores and skin’s temperature are all variables in determining the comedogenic effect. As a general rule, it is the thickness and heaviness of a cream (rather than if it just ‘feels’ greasy) that make it comedogenic. Plant oils containing fatty (saturated) acids have been known to clog pores. We have formulated BECCA moisturisers and foundations to be light-weight, and we do not use any fatty acid plant oils. BECCA products are multi-purpose and this eliminates the need for additional layers of potentially pore-clogging moisturiser and sunscreen.
