Ok, I have a potential client that is interested in trying our products, but she wears gas perma contacts (hard contacts) & is leary of using a product that might damage them. She tried MK before & it ended up damaging them & she had to go back to the opthomalogist to get new ones. She doesn't know what ingredients cases the damage, so my question would be, is anyone familiar with this? Or does anyone know where I might be able to find out if our products will cause the same problem?
If anyone can point me in the right direction on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
TIA!

I would just call up an optomotrist and ask them :)

Thanks Cindi! I contacted an optometrist they didn't know of any chemicals that are used in cosmetics that would necessarily damage lenses. Just that comestics are considered foriegn bodies when wearing contacts. Eyeshadows & mascara can have particials that can scratch the lenses. Aerosols can also. They recommend you use cream shadows instead of powder, never have your contacts in when using aerosols, don't use lash building mascaras & use water based cosmestics.
Ok, so now my next question is...smileys/smiley36.gifis our cosmestics considered waterbased? I know she probably wouldn't be able to use our mascara (being it's a thicking kind) & our eyeshadow (being it's a powder).
It sounds to me it's just based on common sense when using products around your eyes, but before I give her the information that I was told, just wanted to know if our cosmestics are considered water based.
TIA!
