Would you like to put an insect on your face? You’d probably say that you would never even think of it. But shudder on, as you might actually be slathering your skin with insect extract.

Some makeup brands include many exotic ingredients in their lineup, as colorants or preservatives. So if you feel a little uneasy about what actually does go into your beauty products, look for brands that have NO carmine from cochineal insects. That will help solve your bug problem.
