carefreebeauty.eu launch in uk with afterglow cosmetics

Press Release

Carefreebeauty.eu has launched this week a cosmetics & skin care store for healthy conscious women with sensitive skin, skin allergies, or simply those looking for natural - organic - toxic free cosmetics products. At the same time we are working to increase support for the campaign for safe cosmetics and to raise awareness of the degree of toxic chemicals found in many popular brands of makeup and skincare products.

We are offering a number of brands including afterglow cosmetics from San Francisco- a pioneer & leader in developing safe and organic mineral makeup. They are getting a lot of press lately and you may have heard about them in Women's Health, Oxygen, or on Oprah where they were profiled in a book called "Gorgeously Green." They are pretty much the healthy replacement for Bare Escentials.

To celebrate our launch we are offering a 10% donation to the environmental working group's "skin deep" cosmetic safety research foundation for every purchase in our first month. To help our launch and support toxic free cosmetics- please visit our store at http://www.carefreebeauty.eu.

Introducing Afterglow Cosmetics from San Francisco

Afterglow Mineral Cosmetics bridges the gap between natural and high-fashion cosmetics bringing a truly natural blend of pure mineral make-up with the fabulous, organic infused, highly pigmented color palette you crave. The unique natural formulation and focus on natural and certified organic ingredients of the highest quality ensures that their products are safer for your skin and body. They also perform better and last longer than traditional cosmetics. This attention to ingredients and detail make Afterglow Mineral Cosmetics the natural choice for all women and are especially ideal for women with sensitive skin, rosacea, acne and other skin issues.

About Afterglow products that we carry:

Say goodbye to heavy, dull, and cakey feeling makeup... Our Mineral Makeup has a lighter feeling on your skin, is healthier, and gives a natural more beautiful look than traditional makeup.

* Natural - Crushed minerals and organic ingredients look and feel natural and weightless on your skin. * Long Lasting - Super staying power and nearly water and sweat proof. * Built in UV Protection - Contains natural broad- spectrum sun protection. * Safe - Pure natural, organic, healthy ingredients * Coverage - From just a bit to total coverage is up to you. * Great for your skin - Your skin won't be tormented by the nasty stuff in normal makeup such as dyes, fillers, parabans, gluten, and bismuth. * Anti-Aging- Taking mineral foundation to a new level by infusing certified organic antioxidants such as organic grape seed extract and organic rosemary leaf extract..

Afterglow Mineral Cosmetics are ideal for sensitive skin because we use minimal ingredients and avoid sensitizers like bismuth oxychloride, talc, dyes and mineral oil. All Afterglow products are fragrance free except for the Natural Lip Gloss which contains 'natural flavors' of organic fig and organic vanilla extracts.

- Gluten Free, talc free, nut free, gmo freem carmine free, bismuth free, paraban free, lake dye free, fd&c dye free, cornstarch free, mineral oil free, nano free, petro chemical free.

-Organic whenever possible. We use Certified Organic ingredients whenever possible.

-Ideal for sensitive skin and bodies. We avoid ingredients (even natural ones!) that are sensitizers. Our formulas are also gluten free!

-Very natural. We focus on formulating the most natural & effective product available without a whole list of ingredients still used by other cosmetic companies.

-Full disclosure - we disclose every ingredient in every product we sell. Since the FDA allows companies to conceal and not list the true ingredients in items listed as “fragrance”, “flavors” and any ingredient under 1% of the total formula – you never know what you might be using. With Afterglow you always know!

-No bismuth oxychloride. Bismuth oxychloride is a common ingredient in many mineral cosmetic brands. It makes many women itch and break out. We never include this ingredient in our cosmetics.

-Paraben Free: All our products are Paraben Free.

-We only use Pharmaceutical Grade Minerals to ensure the most pure product possible.

-Our Triple Milled Formulas ensure our powders are super soft and that the color is even and well distributed for optimal coverage and color.
