Imagine how peanut people (and their parents) must feel! I dont wear alot of make up, usually just foundation ( i use Mary Kay and have for years with no issues) mascara and a little blush.
Everyday is an adventure with this carmine allergy… Good luck! :). However, a few manufactures still use Carmine in their products; they typically still use Carmine in make-up products that have been made for a long time, where these manufactures choose not to alter their formula to avoid possible loss in performance and ensure continuity of their colour cosmetics. I’m sorry you all are allergic.
On top of that, my eyes were extremely itchy, worse than ever before. http://www.facebook.com/carmineallergy I wake up with watery, crusty, swollien red eyes.
I haven’t been wearing makeup for a year now, since every time I put eyeliner on my eyes would start swelling up and by the end of the night looks I had pink eye. Makeup causes major eye swelling and lip burning. 3. Carmine was used extensively for watercolours and fine coach-body colours before the advent of synthetic colouring materials. I am a Carmine sufferer and this will be a huge help in replacing my make-up.
Red 40 lake was there so I assumed I was safe. Great post!
I was just about to give up, but I did a simple google search: “makeup without carmine”. I have contacted the company and asked them to reconsider its use in vitamins and told them of my reaction. Carmine is in everything. Another reason may be is that Carmine is an incredibly effective pigment; its colour is deep, vivid and has a high opacity. Since then it has been used only when a natural pigment is required: for pastries, confections, cosmetics, water-soluble drug preparations, and histologic stains. So be very wary of neutral eye shadows. My eyes have been going insane. Loved the color and the silky application. I know this wasn’t the most interesting blog, I probably bored you with my personal make-up history, plus this blog is very unorganized (I had a hard time figuring out the best order to write everything to make it seem relevant…), but I hope that at least you learned something new, whether it’s about carmine allergies or just that fact that your make-up contains ground up beetle guts. Ironically, have no problem with eye pencil. My reaction too eye make up was just horrible. Origins makeup does not use the dreaded beetles. Care to say where you were eating the pancakes? I realized it was the make-up causing the reaction. Good luck, and I agree that you are beautiful without makeup, but the moisturizers and SPF in makeup are good for you. Life has become very challenging to say the least. makeup and love it so far. Thanks for the tip on pasta sauce – now I will watch for that. This took me months to find. I also decided to write this blog so that in the rare event that someone else had gone through the same experience with a carmine allergy, they can see that e.l.f. Carmine dye is listed as an ingredient (or listed as “may contain”) in almost all make-up products. Looking back at my own allergy type symptoms over the years (cosmetics, shampoos, conditions, etc.) This is very helpful and I will definitely look for e.l.f. Fast forward, my lips peel when I use lipstick, my eyes water when I use foundation, and even some black mascaras make me have “pink eye.”. An earlier post suggested there are likely many people with the allergy, but have yet to diagnose. That’s great news on the make up of the ELF brand, I’m curious did you end up getting plum or purple because that’s my color of choice as well I don’t seem to have a problem with any other colors, maybe some browns though as they’re most likely made with red too, do both of my fave I can’t wear!! I just stay home for a day or two if I experienced an extreme reaction. So, back to my point, the main purpose of this blog is really just to vent about how pissed off carmine dye makes me. So I googled how to apply make-up, asked my mom for help (of course), and started wearing make-up. Now I’m on the search for carmine-free makeup….thank you for posting your story!! I just realized what my allergy is tonight. I will be giving them a phone call today. You put it on to almost wipe completely off. E.L.F products are all free of animal dyes. Carmine is not vegan friendly. Over the years have found two makeup brands that don’t seem to contain it in the products I have used: Origins from Macy’s and Korres, a Greek brand which is harder to come by in the U.S. ACTUALLY NO, BECAUSE MANY OF THE RECOMMENDED ITEMS ARE DISCONTINUED OR UNAVAILABLE! I have also created this Facebook page for sharing info. I am also allergic to carmine and was wondering about tattoo ink brands. WTH? So I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate this blog and am glad you shared your story! I’m so glad to know that other people have this allergy.
It caused swelling in my face. Carmine is also in candy and food. Had to go to eye doctor and get drops. The menu said Pure Vermont Maple Syrup. Hi Nancy, Are you allergic to both cooked and uncooked? Hi, thank you for your blog. I am fortunate in that I’m only allergic to carmine that goes on my face but it’s been a tough few years figuring it out. I didn’t think of it in my vitamins (sigh) and after several days of very itchy skin after starting them, I read the inert ingredients. Bought a 24 hr.
The eye doctor put me on a prednisone to to reduce the incredible inflammation in my eyes. It may not always be as simple as looking out for the previous names, as a lot of manufactures chose to display pigments as CI numbers at the end of the ingredients list; so look out for CI75470 or just 75470 without the CI prefix. Name reaction occurred (itching, redness, pain).
I am now on a quest to find carmine-free products to try. I also have a very bad allergic reaction to carmine, but so far only in eye shadows. :)).
(Also labeled as carminic acid, cochineal, crimson lake, E 120) I am so grateful to have found this post and can relate to so many others. Good luck! Change ), You are commenting using your Twitter account. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! In foods, it is listed on the ingredient label as: Carmine; Cochineal; Cochineal extract; Carminic acid; Natural Red 4; Crimson lake; Carmine lake ; The only way to completely avoid the red food coloring is by reading the ingredient label. please post! RIP, Urban Decay Naked 3 palette….I love you, but can’t deal with you. Pink frosted sugar cookies with sprinkles are particularly offensive. So I figured, what the hay – I’ll give something conventional a try so grabbed Almay again, since they’re supposed to be hypoallergenic and did so without reading any labels because it was before I actually knew to look for Carmine which was just yesterday…my eyes are a red hot mess!
I don’t normally eat fake syrup like Aunt Jemima or Log Cabin syrup but was served it in a hotel after telling them I had this allergy. If I ingest it my eyes will blow up. Bare Minerals has many products without carmine – you just have to cheek each one. NEVER IN ALL MY LIFE HAVE I EVER SEEN A “RIPE TOMATO” THE COLOR OF HEINZ KETCHUP!!!!!! Didn’t happen after wearing all pink or mauve shades (may have depended on the concentration of carmine), but when it did I looked like a zombie for 2 days. ALSO CONTINUED FROM ABOVE: DO NOT EAT KETCHUP. They sell vegan make up but it’s very expensive.
Carmine (CI 75470) – Red dye from crushed female cochineal scale insects.
Carmine red dye is found in some processed and packaged foods, cosmetics, and body products. Thank you good luck all.
I also know they sell it on QVC. Tylenol 3 with codeine. Before I only got itchy eyes from make up or if I happened to touch my eyes after I touched something with carmine in it. What a wonderful blog. Vegan and cruelty-free beauty was once earthy, cardboardy and decidedly unglamorous, relegated to difficult-to-find corners of the internet. Just had extensive Chemical Testing (CAMP testing) by a special Dermatologist, and Carmine, Lanolin (in Destin Original, A&D ointment, Aquiphor ointment, which I put on my lips 24/7!) I can use bare minerals powder foundation but not their new liquid formation.
Do Benadryl caplets contain Carmine? Oooooh I feel duped all these years! As it turns out it can be labeled as a natural food product. I ended up in the ER in anaphylactic shock one time when I accidentally ate yogurt containing carmine. Thank you very much….now you got me wondering. Oh and Carmine allergy friends, Skittles, yes those yummy little candies have carmine in them! Watch labels for Carmine, Crimson Lake, Cochineal, Natural Red 4, C.I. They are completely carmine free!! You can also go to whole foods. I can wear some carmine makeup but if it starts to itch I don’t dare rub it but quickly remove it.
Purple is my favorite eyeshadow and every time I wear it, I react. Although The Body Shop asserts that it’s against animal testing, it’s not a “vegan” company.
