Common questions
Is Bloom cheaper than Jones Road?
Yes. Bloom is $18 for 0.35 oz and the Jones Road Blushing Stick is $34 for 0.16 oz. That is about half the price per stick.
Does Bloom use lake dyes?
No. Bloom's color comes from mica and mineral pigments. The Jones Road Blushing Stick lists FD&C and D&C lake dyes in its shades.
Does Bloom have SPF?
No. Bloom contains 10% zinc oxide, but it is not tested or labeled as a sunscreen.
Is Bloom vegan?
No. It has a beef tallow base.
Why a tallow base?
Tallow melts into skin, so the color stays creamy on dry lips and cheeks. Sea buckthorn oil and bisabolol add nourishing, skin-soothing care that most makeup skips.
