I have been having an allergic contact dermatitis reaction to my makeup (at the same time my skin turns red, I experience heart palpitations and a headache. I threw out all traditional makeup and began using mineral makeup from Whole Foods...now it appears to be causing the same, although not as bad, reaction. I also began taking a multi-vitamin called Vitamin Code, a raw whole food multi vitamin for women and now I get the same allergic reaction when I take the vitamins.
