Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Hi gang: I am fed up with trying store-bought makeup. I never knew this, but you can actually purchase ingredients to make beauty products. I ordered some iron oxides to add to a zinc lotion that does not irritate my skin. Has anyone tried this? You can even order titanium dioxide. I ordered through The Ponte Vedra Soap Shoppe website. I will let you know how it goes.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 I got several colors: yellow, orange, red, brown, and titanium dioxide. The website shows photos of the colors: http://www.pvsoap.com/pigments.asp Looking at these colors, I can see why yours turned out like cheddar cheese I talked to them yesterday on the phone and got my order in just in time. From May 30th - June 9th they are closed for remodeling and revamping website I think. They said they would get my order out today, though. I was thinking of making a powder using talc, titanium dioxide, and my iron oxide colors. I would use it over my zinc cream.
