About Tracy Ariza, DDS

Content: Naturally mined iron oxides aren’t normally used, nor are they allowed for cosmetics in the United States, because they can contain high levels of heavy metals which can be harmful to your health. If you are taking the time to make your own homemade costume makeup to avoid the heavy metals in the commercial ones, it makes no sense to use iron oxides with heavy metals in them!
