Green Product Review: Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer

This is the first of ongoing posts reviewing natural, organic and green cosmetics readily available on the market. While I love making my own products (then I know exactly where they are coming from and can customize them to my own skin's needs), there really are some great products being manufactured and distributed to your local corner store. Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer (by Physician's Formula) is definitely one of them.
I love makeup. I have always loved makeup and always will, however, as I have gotten older I have found that too much makeup makes me look like either a lady of the night or my Great Aunt Sarah. Less is definitely more for me these days! Plus, being a busy mom of two kids under five years old, I don't have the luxury of makeup application time that I used to. Anything easy, fast and good for myself and the environment is A-OK in my book. This tinted moisturizer is just that.
Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer is 100% natural origin, 80% certified organic ingredients, including jojoba seed oil, sunflower seed oil, avocado oil, and shea butter. It has a natural SPF 15 (titanium dioxide). It is also 100% free of synthetic preservatives, parabens, GMO's, synthetic colors, synthetic fragrances and is cruelty free. It also has a lovely scent and glides on the skin like butta. It is also full of natural emollient oils that are low on the comedogenicity scale, which is good for my fussy, acne-prone skin. It gives it lots of needed moisture, without the breakouts. This product does contain talc, which some people believe to be a carcinogen, acne promoter and irritant (I have never seen any study that proves any of these things to my satisfaction, however). Just remember to shake all the happy ingredients up first for the best application.
I chose the Fair to Light shade, as it was the lightest one available on the shelf, but during a long Michigan Winter, I probably need the Ivory to Fair to actually match my skin tone. But the Fair to Light does give me a nice sheer, even hint of color on top of my usual Winter palor! Bonus! I would definitely recommend this product.
