I saw A374441, Josie Maran Protect & Perfect SPF 47 Radiance w/ Argan Mascara, presented last night, and thought about ordering since I need a new SPF. This morning I was looking over the product information and saw it contains carmine, so I won't be buying.
Just wanted to share that information for any others who'd prefer to use products that don't contain color made from boiled insects.
There is a version of Protect & Perfect without the carmine, A267054.

Well, that's a no for me.
I was waiting and waiting for her SunBoost SPF 47 in the 4oz. size to come in again but nope. And I don't really like the Protect and Perfect.
I've moved on. A product that has been doing really well for me is colorscience SUNFORGETTABLE Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 100% Mineral.
It's great under makeup or alone. It has a slight tint which I find works very well for me as daily wear without makeup.
Kinda pricey but so is Josie's stuff.

@Caffeina - Wow - I've never heard of it. Is carmine in a lot of products on the market? I don't know anything about it.
Guess I can google.

I don't know how often it's used, and I don't buy a lot of cosmetics. In the future I'll always make sure to check ingredients, particularly if there are pink, red, reddish brown, purple or similar colors present.

@Caffeina ugh. Another thing I learned on this board. Thank you.

It is kind of interesting if you Google it. It isn't vegan or kosher. It is in a lot of foods such as ketchup. It is a alternative for coal tar products.
I am kind of surprised that Josie would use this.
