Acne-Safe and Acne-Scary Makeup Spotlight: Milk Makeup

We were excited to dive deep into the ingredient lists that make up Milk Makeup (pun intended). When judging the acne-safeness of makeup without extensive ingredient knowledge, one of the core tenets we share with clients is to avoid makeup products in a stick format.

Traditionally, this is because the ingredients that it takes to make a product into a stick are the ingredients that are most known to clog pores. However, cosmetic chemists constantly develop new ingredient technology, so did Milk Makeup crack the code and finally make stick makeup acne-safe? Read on to find out!
