I checked out their lipsticks, and while I am willing to pay $19.00 plus shipping for a lipstick or try to get my health food store to carry their line, Sante cosmetics is not what I would call safe either. If you pull up their lipsticks and look at the list of ingredients you will find: Sante Matte Lipstick Natural Basic Cool Red No01 Code: 40450 VEGAN INCI (A complete Ingredient list as required by EU regulations) Ricinus Communis, Lanolin, Candelilla Cera, Cera Alba, Simmondsia Chinensis, Brassica Campestris /Aleurites Fordi Oil Copolymer, Carnauba, Talc, Passiflora Incarnata, Aroma, Tocopherol, [ /- Mica, CI 77007, CI 75120, CI 75470, CI 77499, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77891] All the numbers are color formulas: try Googling them: Ultramarine Blue (CI 77007), Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Annatto extracts (CI 75120), Carmine (CI 75470), Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) The lighter shades of lipstick aren't too much better and they still contain Titanium Dioxide. Sante Cosmetics may be organic and vegan, but I still wouldn't use them. There is a book: Handbook of Preservatives By Michael Ash, Irene Ash Below is the link I used for this book, but it look awfully long so I hope it works for you. http://books.google.com/books?id=XZ2QB7bu5LwC&pg=PA333&lpg=PA333&dq=ci 75120&source=web&ots=6L1WpGBUt0&sig=Ycr6WoAFwNOQZgfIficgQ-XbaRk#PPP1,M1 Thank you for the Sante cosmetics link.

The lighter shades of lipstick aren’t too much better and they still contain Titanium Dioxide. Sante Cosmetics may be organic and vegan, but I still wouldn’t use them.
