The reports I read said that there was proof that the Talc had caused inflammation to her ovaries which in turn caused Ovarian Cancer for that particular woman. But only a small portion of the damages are related to that — the majority (I think over 80%) were punitive because of Johnson & Johnson’s internal behaviors brought to light, such as memos discussing the concern but not making anyone aware, trying to get minorities to use them more because of said concerns, etc.

Also I should note that I’d be happy having an even lower minimum like 500, but I’m realizing that’s VERY challenging to find, so ~2000 seems more feasible.

@Perry That’s a great list and info to refer back to, though! I’d have trouble finding an encapsulating list.
I knew that natural colorants are few and far between, so I wasn’t planning on limiting myself to them. I don’t intend to market my product as all natural (just natural-based), so using Micas and Iron Oxides is my plan. I have no problem with a few synthesized ingredients so long as they’re ingredients that most consumers perceive as acceptable.

@microformulation I was not saying that I wouldn’t use a preservation system, just that natural product preservatives are different and often not as strong so I want to be extra careful with packaging. I would never compromise product safety or efficacy in the name of a marketing ploy.
I do have considerable funds to use and intend to make this a mass-retailer type line. Do you have any recommendations for where/who to go to for packaging design? -
Thanks @bobzchemist. Any recommendations/advice for securing a package designer? I want my packaging to mitigate any bacterial contamination since they’re natural and won’t have the same strength of preservatives, but I don’t know where to start, really.

@markbroussard I am pursuing foundation, concealer, and lipsticks. Thanks for the advice, I’ll be more specific in the future!

@markbroussard any recommendations for manufacturers?

@bobzchemist and @microformulation I put “healthier” in quotations because I know that’s not necessarily true and really just a marketing tactic. But it’s what a lot of consumers want now. They’re looking for products that they feel they themselves could have created in their kitchen, but don’t have the time, money, or other resources to do so.
