Antonym all natural makeup is suitable for all skin types. However each person is different, so it's best to try. Many users with sensitive skin have told us that Antonym makeup has become their favorite makeup brand due to the natural ingredients that don't irritate their skin.
ARE YOUR PRODUCTS CERTIFIED?
All Antonym makeup products are certified by ECOCERT, a European certification body similar to the USDA. ECOCERT certifies the type of ingredient (natural/organic) as well as that our packaging, storage and manufacturing is done according to high standards.
All Antonym makeup brushes are certified vegan. Vegan certified products do not contain animal products or by products and have not been tested on animals according to The Vegan Awareness Foundation. The Certified Vegan Logo on our brushes is administered by The Vegan Awareness Foundation (official name of Vegan Action), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about veganism and assisting vegan-friendly businesses.
As the demand for products made without chemicals and without animal testing has grown exponentially in the last few years the choices for truly natural and organic cosmetics have remained limited. Our certifications provide buyers the assurance that all Antonym Cosmetics products are made with natural and/or organic ingredients and that they have not been tested on animals.

For personal use, we recommend using water and a mild dishwashing liquid. Do not soak the brushes. Wash the bristles thoroughly by hand with soap and water, then rinse and towel dry. Lay them on a towel on their side to dry. Do not dry them with the bristles pointing up as the water will seep into the brush.
