Both have pros n cons - both are made by big corps that support animal testing and contain many harsh chemicals like carcinogenic parabens and mica that have been known to irritate sensitive skin - I bought the physicians formula bb cream n it broke me out like crazy - their ingredients are not the best for sensitive or acne prone skin - same goes for bare minerals - mica is a known skin irritant and every single powder product by them contains it - but as far as my personal history with their stuff - their bronzer broke me out really bad as well as their compact mineral veil - but their matte foundation has not caused problems for me... so I would say just be careful of both if you have sensitive or acne prone skin.

Physicians formula is talc free it says on their packaging... I have sensitive acne prone skin and it works good on me...I don't break out with it , I do with other foundations I haven't tried their eyeshadows only there foundations , powders , bb cream n powder , and lipgloss. The bb cream only had 2 shades and you have ti shake it or it will separate so I didn't Like that. there powders I really Like the plumping lip gloss it's the only one that worked on me it does give a tingle feeling , the foundation I used years ago so can't remember , I Like they're powders they have good medium coverage without feeling chalky. Everyone has different skin different products will do different things hope you find what works for you C:

How did you find that out? I googled it but it's all saying they don't test on animals.

They are one of those companies that say they don't but also don't mention whether their suppliers are cruelty free or not.
