Do you consider micas and oxides (iron, titanium, zinc) safe and natural enough to use in cosmetics, lip balms, sunblocks? I'm a little torn, currently minimize it but not worry about it on our skin occasionally. Not sure if I consider them ok for lip balm or not. I make soap and lotions and things, and keep it safe and natural as I can, my only compromise has been a minimal amount of Phenoxyethanol, a fairly safe preservative for lotion. I am considering making lip balms, but wonder if I should be ok with colorants or not.
