Clean Makeup for Sensitive Skin

Look for fragrance-free, mineral-based formulas with minimal ingredients. Tinted mineral foundations, clean concealers with soothing botanicals, and powder eyeshadows made with pure mineral pigments are all good starting points. Brands like Ere Perez within our collection are particularly well-regarded for sensitive skin.

Avoid synthetic fragrance, which is one of the most common causes of skin reactions in makeup. Also look out for parabens, certain preservatives, alcohol-heavy formulas, and artificial dyes. Mineral-based products are generally the gentlest option for reactive skin, as they use fewer ingredients overall and sit on top of the skin rather than absorbing into it.

Hypoallergenic means a product has been formulated to minimize the risk of allergic reaction, typically by excluding the most common sensitizing ingredients. It's a useful indicator for sensitive skin, but it's not a regulated term, so it's still worth checking the ingredient list. At The Detox Market, our clean curation provides an extra layer of reassurance regardless of whether a product carries that label.
