When I realized that this was truly my calling, I began investigating and trying different face paints. Now I am quite sold on the dry cakes, paint made specifically for skin, for all the above reasons and also because I can be assured of no problematic reactions. More parents are asking about the materials used, so it is comforting to both of us to be able to tell them exactly what I use and how safe it is. I keep cornstarch baby powder on hand as a barrier layer on extra sensitive skin and on skin covered with sun screen.

I bought 2 snazaroo cakes and then bought a pack of mixed face paints from argos, the ones from argos cost the same as 1 snazaroo cake so at first thought id found a bargain, only to put it on the childrens faces and find out that it was a creamy paint which then went all over the furniture, walls and carpet, but the snazaroo paint stayed on the faces and not on the decor! So the cheap 1s are in the bin and its defo professional paints from now on!

They are FDA approved and have no peanut oils it them. In reality, one should never purchase cheap face paint. They often are not FDA/Toy approved, and therefore can't be that safe. Though money saving, would you want your child harmed? I have read many a story about mothers buying cheap face paint because they are volunteering at their childs school, or something, and they practise beforehand on their children. It often leads to allergic reactions or strokes. Not that I am a know it all, I just thought it would be informative to small town face painters that if they are to purchase cheap face paint, before careful. Make sure they are safe. :) Thanks.
