Our savvy supporters have seriously sensitive skin and ingredient needs. Many are dealing with issues such as chronic fatigue, Lyme, mold, and more. For this, we avoid many, many ingredients in other 'natural' brands.
3 Shocking Health Variables That Might Affect Behavior
Have you ever witnessed a change in behavior, whether from a child, teen, or adult, and wondered if it has a health cause at the root? So often we associate behavior with only the psychological, but, at times, it can warrant examining underlying physical catalysts. It may surprise some--or many--what research exists that supports the notion that underlying health conditions can be important variables affecting behavioral expression.
Consider the following list and corresponding articles.

Are Heal Yes! cosmetics and skincare hypoallergenic / non-comedogenic / natural / organic / etc.?
The short answer? Yes, our formulas are light-feeling and non-clogging, and our supporters often come to Heal Yes! after nearly having given up on makeup and skincare — yet they find what works for them here!
But there's more to this question regarding 'claims':
The use of the terms "comedogenic" and "non-comedogenic" (as well as "natural" and "hypoallergenic") in the beauty industry is primarily based on manufacturers' claims, creating a landscape where different companies employ various approaches to determine the comedogenicity of their products:
Some manufacturers conduct their own assessments, utilizing methodologies that may include ingredient analysis, historical data, expert opinions, or existing research to support their claims.
Smaller boutique and home-made brands might use the terms and have no testing back-up at all.
It's imperative to note that the absence of standardized guidelines means that the terms "comedogenic" and "non-comedogenic" are not regulated by authoritative bodies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Therefore, the lack of consistent definitions or thresholds for what constitutes comedogenic or non-comedogenic further adds to the uncertainty.

The unique lab tests seem helpful but expensive; if I had to pick one, which do you suggest?
The lab tests we offer within Heal Yes! are unique—self-assessments you won't simply find in a doctor's office—and can provide utterly invaluable insights about wellness. Here are a couple tests to consider at the forefront:
1. Amino Acid Health Assessment: This is the best test to help identify the areas of your personal health to focus on first! This test is conducted via urine.
2. Comprehensive 14-Panel Chronic Fatigue Profile Blood Test: With an eye on hormones, chronic inflammation, thyroid function, anemia, diabetes, metabolic function, stress, and two common viruses; this panel is a powerful tool towards your wellness goal. This test will require you to pop by your local LabCorp for a blood-draw.
Also, consider these two panels, especially if you suspect you have methylation (e.g., MTHFR) issues:
3. Optimal Wellness Genetic Insights Panel Cheek Swab: This comprehensive self-analysis option analyzes genetics in 7 key areas of health (methylation, neurotransmitters, mitochondrial health, detoxification, inflammation, and more) and provides genetically targeted nutritional suggestions. This test is conducted via a cheek swab.
4. MTHFR/COMT Genetic Methylation Profile Cheek Swab: When methylation is working, it helps you feel full of energy, in a good mood, and just generally well! When it is not working, you can feel tired, depressed, irritable, run-down, susceptible to infections, foggy-brained, and just plain "toxic." This genetic methylation profile looks for two specific gene variants key in methylation. This test is conducted via a cheek swab.

Are the formulas fragrance-free?
Synthetic fragrances are always avoided among Heal Yes! formulas; naturally, scents or aromas come from raw ingredients themselves (e.g., lavender imparts a natural floral aroma; some organic oils and waxes smell clean and nutty; etc.).

Is Heal Yes! gluten-free?
Heal Yes! formulas do not use gluten, not even our vitamin E. If there is ever even a trace amount, it will be disclosed within the fully disclosed product page ingredient list. When and if we carry other brands that contain gluten, we will disclose such within the ingredient section on that respective product page.

Does Heal Yes! use nanoparticles in any formulas?
No, never! Nanoparticles are cosmetic ingredients so small in size they can allegedly permeate pores and enter the bloodstream (no thanks! Our bodies have enough to contend with!). We entrust cosmetic-grade particle sizes and even high-micron sizes!

Noxious, synthetic oils such as mineral oil and petrolatum are clogging and avoided. Do note that organic oils and waxes can be the opposite—gentle and even nourishing; select organic oils, waxes, and synergistic formulas can bode with even the most sensitive skin.
Please note that this is NOT to say that some people do not react to seemingly good ingredients, whether oils, waxes, butters, etc.: our bodies are ever-changing, dynamic, and unique:
Let's use shea butter, for example. One person's skin may love organic shea butter while another needs to avoid it; perhaps another person uses shea butter raw whereas another can use it only when it's in a specific synergistic formula (etc.). It's for the nuances that vary from person to person regarding our skin, bodies, and tolerance levels that we offer a happiness guarantee and sample selections!

What we can and do provide are clean cosmetic products with and without specific ingredients so you can make your best decisions among wonderful options. Regarding claims and conditions, it is in everyone's best interest to ask you to confer with your healthcare provider when it comes to ingredients and your specific safety concerns or needs.

Do formulas have SPF ratings?
The ingredients that lend the most sun-protective qualities are often titanium dioxide and zinc oxide; we turn to one or both for coverage-enhancing qualities, especially in our foundations. In the future we may obtain specific sun protection factors (e.g., SPF 30, SPF 40, etc.). Note that nanoparticles can be prominent in SPF-lending formulas; Heal Yes! will never use nanoparticles.

How can I ensure the safety of natural cosmetics for sensitive skin?
Patch testing is recommended, and if you have specific concerns, consult with a dermatologist before use. Choose among Heal Yes!'s very specific ingredient omission options. Also, do heed the notion that hypoallergenic and natural are not regulated terms; it's best to ensure the safety of your formulas for sensitive skin by choosing samples, patch-testing one at a time, and choosing among truly clean formulas that suit your needs.

Are there any natural or organic ingredients to avoid in cosmetics?
It's important to recognize that individuals can be sensitive to a wide range of substances, even those deemed natural and gentle. (Related article: Sensitivities and Allergies to "Good" Ingredients)
Essential oils, specific plant extracts, and ingredients derived from nuts are common culprits that may trigger allergic reactions in some people.
Regardless of whether you have a known history of allergies or not, it's advisable for everyone to conduct a patch test before incorporating new natural cosmetics and wellness products into their routine. This simple yet effective step involves applying a small amount of the product to a discreet area of your skin, typically the inner forearm or behind the ear.
By taking this precautionary measure, you give your skin the chance to react in a controlled environment, helping you identify any potential sensitivities. Keep an eye out for redness, itching, swelling, or any other unusual reactions during the 24 to 48 hours following the patch test.
Remember, our bodies are unique, and what works wonders for one person may not suit another. By embracing the habit of patch testing, you empower yourself to make informed choices about the products you use. Here's more about patch-testing, with a video, if you want to learn more!

Are natural cosmetics and wellness products safe for all skin types?

Smaller boutique and home-made brands might use the terms and have no testing back-up at all.
It's imperative to note that the absence of standardized guidelines means that the terms "comedogenic" and "non-comedogenic" are not regulated by authoritative bodies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Therefore, the lack of consistent definitions or thresholds for what constitutes comedogenic or non-comedogenic further adds to the uncertainty.
The short answer? Yes, our formulas are light-feeling and non-clogging, and our supporters often come to Heal Yes! after nearly having given up on makeup and skincare — yet they find what works for them here!

The unique lab tests seem helpful but expensive; if I had to pick one, which do you suggest?
The lab tests we offer within Heal Yes! are unique—self-assessments you won't simply find in a doctor's office—and can provide utterly invaluable insights about wellness. Here are a couple tests to consider at the forefront:
1. Amino Acid Health Assessment: This is the best test to help identify the areas of your personal health to focus on first! This test is conducted via urine.
2. Comprehensive 14-Panel Chronic Fatigue Profile Blood Test: With an eye on hormones, chronic inflammation, thyroid function, anemia, diabetes, metabolic function, stress, and two common viruses; this panel is a powerful tool towards your wellness goal. This test will require you to pop by your local LabCorp for a blood-draw.
Also, consider these two panels, especially if you suspect you have methylation (e.g., MTHFR) issues:
3. Optimal Wellness Genetic Insights Panel Cheek Swab: This comprehensive self-analysis option analyzes genetics in 7 key areas of health (methylation, neurotransmitters, mitochondrial health, detoxification, inflammation, and more) and provides genetically targeted nutritional suggestions. This test is conducted via a cheek swab.
4. MTHFR/COMT Genetic Methylation Profile Cheek Swab: When methylation is working, it helps you feel full of energy, in a good mood, and just generally well! When it is not working, you can feel tired, depressed, irritable, run-down, susceptible to infections, foggy-brained, and just plain "toxic." This genetic methylation profile looks for two specific gene variants key in methylation. This test is conducted via a cheek swab.

Are the formulas fragrance-free?
Synthetic fragrances are always avoided among Heal Yes! formulas; naturally, scents or aromas come from raw ingredients themselves (e.g., lavender imparts a natural floral aroma; some organic oils and waxes smell clean and nutty; etc.).

Is Heal Yes! gluten-free?

When and if we carry other brands that contain gluten, we will disclose such within the ingredient section on that respective product page.

Does Heal Yes! use nanoparticles in any formulas?
No, never! Nanoparticles are cosmetic ingredients so small in size they can allegedly permeate pores and enter the bloodstream (no thanks! Our bodies have enough to contend with!). We entrust cosmetic-grade particle sizes and even high-micron sizes!

Noxious, synthetic oils such as mineral oil and petrolatum are clogging and avoided. Do note that organic oils and waxes can be the opposite—gentle and even nourishing; select organic oils, waxes, and synergistic formulas can bode with even the most sensitive skin.
Please note that this is NOT to say that some people do not react to seemingly good ingredients, whether oils, waxes, butters, etc.: our bodies are ever-changing, dynamic, and unique:
Let's use shea butter, for example. One person's skin may love organic shea butter while another needs to avoid it; perhaps another person uses shea butter raw whereas another can use it only when it's in a specific synergistic formula (etc.). It's for the nuances that vary from person to person regarding our skin, bodies, and tolerance levels that we offer a happiness guarantee and sample selections!

Do formulas have SPF ratings?
The ingredients that lend the most sun-protective qualities are often titanium dioxide and zinc oxide; we turn to one or both for coverage-enhancing qualities, especially in our foundations. In the future we may obtain specific sun protection factors (e.g., SPF 30, SPF 40, etc.). Note that nanoparticles can be prominent in SPF-lending formulas; Heal Yes! will never use nanoparticles.

How can I ensure the safety of natural cosmetics for sensitive skin?
Patch testing is recommended, and if you have specific concerns, consult with a dermatologist before use. Choose among Heal Yes!'s very specific ingredient omission options. Also, do heed the notion that hypoallergenic and natural are not regulated terms; it's best to ensure the safety of your formulas for sensitive skin by choosing samples, patch-testing one at a time, and choosing among truly clean formulas that suit your needs.

Are there any natural or organic ingredients to avoid in cosmetics?
It's important to recognize that individuals can be sensitive to a wide range of substances, even those deemed natural and gentle. (Related article: Sensitivities and Allergies to "Good" Ingredients)
Essential oils, specific plant extracts, and ingredients derived from nuts are common culprits that may trigger allergic reactions in some people.
Regardless of whether you have a known history of allergies or not, it's advisable for everyone to conduct a patch test before incorporating new natural cosmetics and wellness products into their routine. This simple yet effective step involves applying a small amount of the product to a discreet area of your skin, typically the inner forearm or behind the ear.
By taking this precautionary measure, you give your skin the chance to react in a controlled environment, helping you identify any potential sensitivities. Keep an eye out for redness, itching, swelling, or any other unusual reactions during the 24 to 48 hours following the patch test.
Remember, our bodies are unique, and what works wonders for one person may not suit another. By embracing the habit of patch testing, you empower yourself to make informed choices about the products you use. Here's more about patch-testing, with a video, if you want to learn more!
