Unfortunately each of our stores offer some differing products in their cosmetics centers. The best way to get the most accurate information regarding that specific foundation and concealer is to reach out to the Team Members in the Whole Body Department at the Austin store you had visited. Below I've included the contact information for the Lamar and Gateway stores (the only 2 currently open WFMs in Austin). If you reach out to them, a Team Member there will be happy to assist you.

I think something to do with minerals maybe cause they also had a powder and lil spray bottle of water in one kit all for face. It ended up working almost better than Mac makeup. Thanks.

In the world nowadays, nobody genuinely cares about showing others exactly how in this matter. How fortunate I am to have now found a real wonderful web site as this. It is people like you who make a true difference nowadays through the thoughts they write about. It can be rare to find a specialist in whom you will surely have some confidence.

Only two things proven. I like Baby Lizard, a lot. It says SPF30, but I can wear it for a good hour before needing to reapply.

Even WFM brand shampoo didn't rate well recently (so it was reformulated). I don't even want any of the Shoppers Guide to Safe Cosmetics ingredients in ANYTHING you sell at WFM. Thanks!

Sorry, someone did post this, I just didn't scroll down to read the 100s of comments. :-) As for sunscreen, AVOID Oxybenzone >3%. See EWG website for info.
