Apart from our nail polishes, all our products are certified BDIH Natural and some are certified COSMOS Organic meaning only natural and organic ingredients are used.

Is any benecos mascara waterproof?

Do any of your products contain Talc?
Some of our face powders contain talc, as it is used as a binding agent. However, the particle size of the talc in our products is of a size that cannot enter the respiratory tract, besides the fact that mineral pigments and mineral particles used in pressed powder formulations and in liquid formulations are usually not inhaled, at least not within normal usage. In our textures Talc is still a harmless ingredient that is also used from many other natural cosmetics manufacturers. All our contract manufacturers confirm that the quality of the used Talc in our products is free from asbestos.
