I haven't posted here before but thought I might be able to get some advice on a non-toxic facial skin care product. I am looking for lightweight foundation and powder that is free of chemicals such as parabens, dimethicone, etc. I have very sensitive skin myself so I have always been careful of what I use, but now I would like to be even more cautious with my LO rubbing up on my face all the time.
I would appreciate any suggestions, especially for a powder.
TIA!

I don't use too much make-up but I do like the Physicians Formulas Organic cosmetic line when I do.
My entire family is all about pure and natural products!!!
We found the best, most gentle organic baby/family body wash. It's called Organic Baby's Glow made by Glowgenics. It is currently available on Amazon as well as glowgenics.com
Have you ever used the website Skin Deep? It's a great site where you can search for ingredients and/or specific products and find out how safe they are to use. When I first stumbled across it, my eyes were really opened as to how unsafe some of the products we were using in our household on a regular basis truly were. https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
I don't wear a ton of makeup, but I use Mineral Fusions concealer and powder. It's sold at Whole Foods, so I was able to try out some testers before purchasing. It's pricey, but it also seems to last forever. I'm not sure if you use mascara, but I really like Ecco Bella Flower Color Natural Black Mascara. I order it on Amazon with free shipping.
I also second chirowife4 that Physician's Formula carries some great products and is more readily accessible because it's sold at stores like Target and Wal-Mart!
@lbs2012 I checked the Alima Pure website, and I love the idea of being able to order some sample foundations. I just ordered four tones to try!
Thank you @bohemianic for the tips and for reminding me of this site, I had seen it in the past, but didn't remember the website.
