To prevent the growth of microbes, artificial preservatives are included in the composition of cosmetic products containing water. Because of this, some people who are sensitive to preservatives may experience redness or irritation of the eyes when using mascara.
Fortunately for anyone whose eyes are no less sensitive than Game of Thrones fans who recall the series finale, hypoallergenic mascara exists.
How to choose the best mascara for sensitive eyes
Read the label carefully: look for the word hypoallergenic. You can also see the word “natural” on it, but the term means little. And, of course, it does not mean that this mascara is suitable for sensitive skin of the eyelids, since it can still contain irritating plant substances.
Avoid products containing 3D fibers. Such mascaras are very popular, as they add extra length to the eyelashes. However, these fibers can get into the eyes and cause even more irritation.
Waterproof mascara is also often allergenic. It contains aggressive chemicals that increase the durability of this product.
As part of a good carcass for allergies There should not be the following components:
- aluminum powder
- propylene glycol,
- parabens
- thiomersal
- thimerazole
- imidazolidinyl urea,
- diazolidinyl urea,
- DMDM
- bronopol,
- 2-bromo-2-nitropron-1,3-diol,
- bronidox,
- 5-bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane.

A formula without harsh chemicals is perfect for allergy sufferers. The mascara has a thick consistency and a pleasant light smell, reminiscent of coffee with chocolate.

It is offered for 624 rubles.
You can fall in love with the design of this carcass at first sight.

1. TARTE Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara
You can buy for 2810 rubles.
This is by no means the cheapest hypoallergenic mascara, but its high price is justified for several reasons:
- Awesome design.
- It does not contain aggressive substances (parabens and phthalates), therefore it is suitable for those who wear contact lenses.
- Contains rice bran wax, provitamin B5 and olive esters, and vitamin C to protect against free radicals, which even eyelashes need.
- Contains carnauba wax for light and smooth application.
TARTE Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara is equipped with a comfortable fluffy brush that does not scratch and does not leave lumps. It fixes the eyelashes from the bottom to the ends, makes them more voluminous and gives an easy bend.
Strongly layering this mascara will not work, so do not wait for the “fan effect”. However, her resistance is one of the best, about 7-8 hours. And durability pleases - at least 3 months, because given the high price it would be wasteful to buy this product every month.
Such cosmetics will be a great gift for a colleague, relative or girlfriend. It has an ideal balance of external beauty and quality internal content.
