I recently bought a foundation that has sodium chloride, something this website lists as a 5 on a scale (1-5) of comodogenic ingredients!

I already avoid mineral oil (squalene) & jojoba oil. Also, I'm allergic to Mica.

It's an oil that can clog pores if you have acne prone skin. My Derma told me not oils (in sunscreen & moisturizers too)

Jojoba is good for the skin! its actually the closest oil to your natural sebum so it shouldn't irritate in any way. Aww that's too bad. I stay away from parabens and chemical sunscreens. PABA.
