Eggshell
Is it safe to pulverize egg shells and use this as face powder…

Depends on your definition of safety.
It is natural of course, but how would you preserve? It came straight out of a chicken’s butt… E. coli, Salmonella etc… :mask:But why would you want pulverized egg shells on your face? :smirk:
p.s. Eggshells also contain chemicals. Calcium carbonate for example. (CaCO3) :#

Thank you, Doreen. Yes, it is naturally derived, but what other real advantages would this have over a purified Calcium carbonate?

@Microformulation
I’m sorry I was just being mildly sarcastic when I read “I have a question ..as I do not use any makeup because of all the chemicals” when I clicked on the name of this person.
It’s late here and I’ve read too much chemophobic stuff for one day. :sleeping:Re: your question. I’d say something from inside the shell, something contracting, but I’m not sure.

@Normasegovia55 I am scared to imagine how eggshell applied as a powder might look ? Were those white eggs, brown eggs or a blend? Everything is a chemical, including water and air. Check nutrition facts of what you eat and you will find polysorbste 80 and xantham gum. Even worse, you will find parabens. Jokes aside: https://youtu.be/VftruorG9ZQ

This was an honest questions and was not expecting anyone to be sarcastic in any way..

Was an honest question not so u could be sarcastic..

@Normasegovia55 you will not be able to avoid ‘synthetic’ chemicals even if decide to live in the forest. Also it is mentioned multiple times in many different discussions of this forum, natural does not equal good. Poison ivy is natural. Try mineral cosmetics, it has less of what you call “synthetic chemicals’, but eggshells are definitely not a good replacement for a setting powder.

Thank u ngarayever001..I do live in the forest…n yes your right..I could try mineral makeup until formulate my own makeup..
-
What we all are trying to say, all these “chemicals” are not as bad as you believe they are. I think mineral makeup is as ‘natural’ as you can get. Even if you formulate your own, which I absolutely encourage you to do, since formulating is fun, I don’t think it would be ‘more natural’ than mineral makeup.
