I just read the contaminated makeup thread.

Many stores have foundation displays where the bottles are just there, with no packaging or seal. Do you buy makeup that isn't in sealed packaging?

I only buy the sealed stuff. there's usually a plastic seal on the cap, if it's broken i look for another one.

I think it's always good to check the seals on any product we buy!

The chapstick I buy is always in some sort of a sealed container, I don't think I would buy one if it was just sitting there loose where you could unscrew the cap. What if someone else had tried it out?

You can see, with most products, if they've been used. Look sideways in the light, at the top of a lip balm or lipsticks, across the surface of a blush or eyeshadow, and at the lid of any lotions in a bottle or jar. You are really can tell if something has been even the slightest bit sampled. smile

For some products, with antioxidants in them, you will want to make sure they have actually never been OPENED, with is different than being used. Much of the good stuff that you are paying for degrades quickly upon exposure to air. For things like lotions, the best ones are those in opaque containers that do not let air into the product when opened.

Of course, the best and most safe packaging usually adds extra environmental waste to the planet, so it's a tough call.

My call is that for things going near my eyes and lips - the mucous membranes - to be ultra careful nothing has been *used*.

For things that I pay good money for to be state of the art, as in a moisturizer with peptides, antioxidants and cell-mimicking ingredients, i make sure it's never been *opened.*

The makeup I purchase is always sealed. I can't think of any that aren't sealed. Maybe those were testers on the display . . .
