Last week, I reacted severely to something. Migraine, nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity - for nearly 12 hours. It was tedious to back track through every ingested food and consumer product, but I did it. The only culprit I came up with was the new lipstick I bought the week prior.

Squalane: Source #1:

substance have not been fully investigated. "

A second ingredient I researched was
Tocopheryl Acetate. This form of Vitamin E is processed from soy, corn, or wheat. In other words, GMO.
The research still continues.
As a side note, I am updating the list of ingredients which are to be avoided because of their excitotoxicity. It is not up and running yet but soon. Very soon. Here is the link anyhow:
