Non Toxic
These Face paints should not contain toxic chemicals or substances.

Face paints should be easy to apply and be easy to remove. Soap and water should be all you need to remove the Paint.

They should should resist cracking, Some well known brands contain fillers which make these Paints thick and are applied as a thick layer. This causes the Paint to crack when subjected to movement.
Resistance To tearing when under stress
Again, Face Paint that has to be applied as a thick coating will be more likely to tear under stress.
Water and sweat Resistant
Good face Paints should be water and sweat resistant, but still easily removed with soap and water.
No chemical - cosmetic fillers
Adding Cosmetic fillers reduces the cost of making the face Paint, but on the negetive side, makes the Face paint thicker which results in cracking when dry. Calcium carbonate and Titanium Dioxide are often used in some Face Paint Brands.
Note: Titanium Dioxide is normally used in white face Paint.
No added ingredients that can cause allergic reactions in some People
Some people have a contact allergy to imidazolidinyl urea causing dermatitis. Such people are often also allergic to diazolidinyl urea (1*).
