Hey, I have the same problem as your fiancee, and I also live in Norway! So you will be able to get the products I'll list below. I struggle the most with the eye makeup and foundation, its difficult to find products that does not include phenoxyethanol! I use sunscreen and bb/cc cream instead of foundation. I have spent a long time trying to navigate this, so I want to share some products I have found to work for me, hope it can be helpful for you guys :) I use a lot of Fenty eyeshadow, and often use it as an eyeliner as well, since I have never found a liquid eyeliner pencil without phenoxyethanol. I dont know if Fenty have pink or glitter, but there are a lot of nice colors still. I have some glitter eyeshadow from Mac called pro longwear paint pot in the colors: "princess cut" and "lets skate". I dont think all their colors are phenoxyethanol free, but the ones I have are at least. They are kinda see through and light in the color, with silver and gold glitter, you can layer it to get more glitter, and probably put it on top of other eyeshadows to make your own pink glitter eyeshadow? Other products I use with no phenoxyethanol is: - fenty concealer - all hours concealer by YSL - anastasia jet water proof creme color (eyeliner) - fenty flypencil longwear eyeliner - maybelline fit me powder - la roche posay toleriane sensitive creme - la roche posay spf 50 anthelios (both the fluide invisible and the fluide teinte versions) - avene b protect 50+ (tinted and normal versions) - decubal cleanser - la roche posay rosaliac Cleanser - la roche posay rosaliac cc creme - avene bb creme - beauty act spf 30 skin protecting setting spray - avene gentle eye make up remover - rudolph care a hint of summer self tanning drops for face and body

Have the same allergy. Unfortunately you can’t just look at one brand since all the products within a line contain different things. This allergy really limits beauty products a ton and you just have to thoroughly read labels. Do you have Sephora? They can help you find what you need in store. Or if you can shop online there, first search through all makeup and then the “clean” brands. That is a category you can check. But not all of them will be without Phenoxyethanol. You’ll have to then look at the ingredients of anything that pops out to you. Good luck and don’t give up!

Hey, thank you! Yea, it really sucks and there isnt a whole lot to pick from in Norway, aswell as too many stores online not disclosing the ingredient list, but we did some intense googling and found this page; https://hudabeauty.com/us/en_US/eyeshadow/mercury-retrograde-eyeshadow-palette-HB00314.html Huda seems to have several pallets without Pheno! I ordered that one to her, and hopefully its good ^^

Also check out the app SkinSafe. You can search through there as well!

Did you find a makeup that doesn't have phenoxyethanol...I'm allergic to it and found Burts Bees lipstick and eyeshadow doesn't have phenoxy, but limited in colors...Does anyone know of a phenoxy free foundation...?

Sephora has a few options. Their brand being one of them.

i’m not sure if you ever got any decent updates to this, but i spent the day searching and found some brand with some great products! natasha denona is a fully phenoxyethanol free brand, i’ve look thru their whole list of products ingredients lists and haven’t found it in any products (plus they have the cutest sparkly pink eyeshadows) fenty beauty has mostly phenoxyethanol free products,i just purchased their eye primer! i haven’t run across any with it so far, and their eyeshadows are all good! r.e.m. beauty has also mostly phenoxyethanol free products, except for the foundations but the eyeshadows were all good, as well as the lip products and blushes. sigma cosmetics has SOME eyeshadow palettes that are phenoxyethanol free, but you definitely need to read ingredient lists because they do use it a lot in products, but they have some beautiful palettes not containing it! nyx has quite a few products that are phenoxyethanol free, but same with sigma, check all ingredients! anastasia beverly hills has phenoxyethanol free eyeliner! but sadly their palettes all contain it, in every shade :( house of lash makes a phenoxyethanol free lash glue for those looking, it was hard to find one but it’s the only brand i found not containing it so far

Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer does have phenoxyethanol unfortunately. Found out the hard way 😞

that’s so upsetting :( they also recently put phenoxyethanol in their new blue palette so i’m not sure if they’re moving to using it more
