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 love how glossy and conditioning this product is, and it adds the perfect tint of color to add a natural rosy glow to my lips and cheeks. As others have commented, you can definitely smell the beetroot in it, but since that’s literally in the name, I’d say that’s more a highlight of its natural qualities than it is a flaw that needs concealing.

I’m a huge fan of this product. I don’t wear makeup for the most part, and I needed something natural and no fuss that travels well and can spruce me up in a pinch when I’m looking dead- this hits all the marks! The smell is strong and earthy, which may bother some, but I like it!

I was concerned about how dark this looks in the tin but it’s very sheer! I have a fair complexion and it looks great. I wear it everyday on my lips and sometimes on my cheeks. I’m not big on makeup so I dont bother with blush very often. Anyway, it does fade away after a while so it lost one star, but with those ingredients and no plastic, I’ll definitely be purchasing again or at least something similar from fat and the moon
