Paraben Free
Parabens are synthetic chemical preservatives, commonly used in beauty products like shampoo, lotion, and deodorants. Parabens can accumulate in your body, and have been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive problems. In studies of breast cancer patients, parabens have been found in the tissue of cancerous tumors–yikes! If you want to avoid Parabens in your beauty products, keep an eye out for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben in the ingredients list.
Phthalate Free
Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.
Sulfate Free
Sulfates are synthetic chemical ingredients commonly used in beauty products and household cleaners, like shampoos and dish soaps. You can usually identify sulfates in an ingredients list by looking out for the most common types: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLC) and Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES). These chemicals, often derived from petroleum, are used to help form the “lather” we’re used to seeing in our beauty and cleaning products. When used in the shower or sink, these chemicals can flow through the pipes and into our waterways. Synthetic sulfates have been linked to allergic reactions, eye and skin irritation, and hair loss, and some studies suggest they contain carcinogenic ingredients.

I really like it, especially for just a subtle glow. If you want something a little more obvious, this is not the way to go. Perfect however for a beautiful and natural glow!

I have kind of given up on beauty products because of the harmful substances in most mainstream brands and the harmful underlying messages about lack of self-worth and body negativity. Fat and the Moon puts people-friendly and earth-friendly ingredients in this highlighter and it just accentuates and adds a little fun and sparkle to a person’s natural beauty. I 100% recommend the product! The shine is lovely and it doesn’t cover or hide your natural skin. Love it 🙂

Question
clairefwatts –
Hello! I was wondering about the mica in this product since there is nothing specifically about where the mica is sourced from and I know the mining of mica is typically very unethical. Do the “cruelty free” product features include the source of the mica?

Hi Claire! The mica used in this highlighter is lab-created, not mined. We know about the horrendous circumstances surrounding mined mica and do not support brands using those practices. Fat and the Moon’s mica is made of natural ingredients that mimic mined mica, without the human/environmental suffering that comes along with the mined version. Truly cruelty-free 🙂

Love this highlighter! It really shows up beautifully on the skin but is not over the top. I found it easy to apply.
