I have a horrible allergic reaction to every mascara I've tried. (my
sinus,throat and gums swell, and my head itches inside). The only common
ingredient they all seem to have is Iron Oxide. Can you enlighten me as
to what it is? Someone told me that it's "rust"? Is it possible to buy it
in the raw so that I can do a patch test? Thanking you in advance for
any help you may be able to give to me.  Rita Hall
