Pacifica Animal Magic Eyeshadow Palette for Women 0.89 oz
Summary
This eyeshadow palette contains a mix of synthetic and natural ingredients. While it avoids some of the most harmful chemicals like parabens and formaldehyde releasers, it does include synthetic fragrance, which can be a skin irritant and is penalized. The presence of some natural oils and botanicals helps improve its safety profile, but the overall processing level and inclusion of synthetic components prevent a higher score.
