I react to some powdered eye shadows and I'm guessing it is the palmitates so I am only using eye liner now but would like to find an eye shadow that works. I did find soap, shampoo, face/eye creams, and body oils that are coconut-free: https://www.chagrinvalleysoapandsalve.com/help-me-choose/coconut-free/<br /><br />lwiat970https://www.blogger.com/profile/04238416895508581822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681567699013298785.post-65829770828723006912019-03-22T14:37:08.352-07:002019-03-22T14:37:08.352-07:00I found coconut free lip gloss at a place called s...I found coconut free lip gloss at a place called shiro cosmetics.

I realized a few months ago that my several years long issues with allergic reactions were linked to a coconut allergy.

Was doing that for a few years with no problem. Within the past few months I started developing rashes around my eyes and nose. Went to a dermatologist who simply said, you're allergic to something... here are some samples (thanks a lot!). So he was little help. I am unsure what is causing the irritation. I've tried keeping track of what I'm using/eating and it's so hard to pinpoint one thing. Have any of you developed an allergy to coconut after being able to use it for a while with no issue??? I'm trying to eliminate it but it's so hard!

I remember watching a How It's Made on eyeshadows and I was shocked to find that the one company used coconut oil to bind the pigments. As a makeup lover this was a big shock to me, so now I only buy eyeshadows that show all of their ingredients. Sadly, that usually means more expensive brands.
