Can you post the Humblebee face wash link? I'd be interested in trying it. Thanks.

I don’t have sensitive skin, but I love these two products, if it helps at all:

Bet you haven't tried all - Australian Cancer Council sunscreen.
You are right - I have not tried that one! I just checked two different sites for it; neither ships to the US.
B/c of allergies to preservatives, I've been using mineral pigments mixed with my moisturizer for concealer, blush and eyeshadow. A little goes a long way and some of the powders I've had for years now. I wonder if this could work for your skin?
I buy EltaMD for my daughter who gets breakouts and she likes it.You are right - I have not tried that one! I just checked two different sites for it; neither ships to the US.
That is definitely one of the better ones for me, too, along with Rodan + Fields Daily Mineral Sunscreen. They both still clog my pores terribly, but the breakouts aren't as quick or horrific as they are with many others that cause cystic acne for me (and which I never have otherwise).
That sucks! and good to have another rec for her if that stops working, thanks! I never had to deal with the major breakouts like my daughter does and I feel so sorry for her sometimes. I have to wear hats and long sleeves in the sun tho b/c most sunscreens bring on eczema with me! It's always something!

We also have it available from chemists and supermarkets, so I wait until it's on sale and buy then. My health fund pays the cost of the sunscreen, so I get it back. I suppose because we have the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. I'm not sure how much it would cost in postage to the US as we have high postage costs here.You are right - I have not tried that one! I just checked two different sites for it; neither ships to the US.
My FSA/health fund does pay for it, too - even the expensive stuff, thankfully!

Hope that helps. I did increase the amount of sci by roughly twice the amount. I prefer more bubbles but it cleans well without it and doesn't leave my skin feeling oily, sticky, or anything.

Thank you for the link. I make a charcoal facial cleanser that is very mild but am always on the lookout for additional information.
Thanks for sharing your experience with upping the SCI. I love this cleanser, as well, and am almost out of it. I will probably try increasing the SCI for my next batch. It cleans just fine without them, but a bubble boost would be nice.
I may also lower the glycerin per her recipe notes indicating that another formulator used far less of it. I have a fair amount of glycerin on hand, but with the high prices of all ingredients these days, it's nice to use less when possible.
This is going to sound weird but you can get 16 oz of glycerin at Hobby Lobby for $7. Not sure if that's a deal where you are but I can't find anywhere cheaper. Hard to believe Hobby Lobby would be cheaper for anything honestly. They carry Makesy. I just bought some yesterday.
Thanks, that is a great deal! I am going to bookmark your post so I can find it when I need to order some more.

Thank you for suggesting... I have tried Bare Minerals makeup. But, I bet making my own would be more beneficial!
