FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our face paints are packaged in an easy-to-use tube with a no-mess wand applicator. Simply us the wand to evenly apply the paint directly to your skin in the pattern you desire. 

When wet, our face paints can stain clothing. However, once the face paint has fully dried on your skin, it will not transfer or stain under normal use. After your hunt, you can safely wipe your face with a towel without ruining it.

Because we avoid harsh preservatives, Hardy Facepaint has a shelf life of approximately one year after opening when stored properly.

Yes. When wet, our face paints will stain clothing and fabric. However, once fully dry, they will NOT stain. Once dry, it is safe to use a towel or washcloth to remove the face paint without worrying about staining. They will NOT stain your skin.

Yes, our face paint is 80% made in the USA. Our ingredients, as well as our face paint, are hand mixed in the USA. Our tubes are made overseas. Unfortunately, there is no company in the USA that will make our style tube.

Yes. Hardy Facepaint is non-carcinogenic and safe for children. As with any cosmetic product, we recommend performing a small patch test before full use, especially for individuals with known latex sensitivities, since our formula contains a very small amount of a latex-based ingredient. This product is for external use only and should not enter eyes or mouth. If the paint comes into contact with the eyes or mouth, immediately flush with running water.

Yes. However, we do not recommend putting anything on your dog that is not formulated specifically for a dog. Please use with caution, do a skin test prior to use, and listen to your pet.

We do not use the terms "hypo-allergenic" or "natural" since we feel they are used on many products as a generic marketing term. The FDA does not provide a definition or set of criteria for a product to be considered hypoallergenic. As the FDA website puts it, “The term means whatever a particular company wants it to mean.” People are sensitive and allergic to many different ingredients, even truly natural ones. However, our face paint does not contain any of the common cosmetic allergens such as fragrances and synthetic dyes. This is why our face paint is considered safe and gentle, and typically does not cause irritation or itching.

Yes, HARDY FACEPAINT is completely free from peanut and egg ingredients. One of our happy customers has a severe allergy to peanuts and eggs and can safely use our products. We always advise doing a small test patch on the inside of your arm.

Our products do contain a minute amount of a latex based ingredient. If you do have a sensitivity to latex, we advise doing a small test patch on the inside of your arm.

Yes, but keep in mind that freezing temperatures will cause the product inside the tube to freeze. Allow the tube to thaw completely at room temperature before removing the applicator wand to prevent damage. Once applied to your skin, Hardy Facepaint will not freeze during normal hunting conditions.

Yes, since our face paints dry to a smooth, smudge-proof finish with no greasy feel, powdered makeup can be applied directly on top.

"Non-toxic" does not mean “safe for skin.” Acrylic or watercolor craft paints are not meant to be used on the skin. Just because the package says "non-toxic" does not mean that it is safe to put on skin. Products need to be formulated with FDA approved ingredients in order to be safe for skin. Many people are allergic to the non-FDA approved chemicals and colorants used in craft paints (such as nickel), and will break out in a rash from these paints. Watercolor markers (or "washable markers") do not remove from skin easily – it can take days to get the stain removed. The "washable" part of the name refers to fabric, not skin. Burnt cork is a cost effective way to paint your face. However, because the pigment produced is carbon black, a known carcinogen, it is no longer considered a safe cosmetic product. Also, if you don't moisturize before applying burnt cork, the burnt cork can severely stain your skin. Most moisturizers contain some sort of fragrance even if they are "fragrance-free."

Our face paints are sweat and water resistant. This means that when you sweat or get wet, our face paints will not come off. Only when pressure and constant rubbing is involved will our face paint start to come off. In order to avoid the face paint coming off when sweat or water is present, we recommend blotting with a towel or article of clothing rather than wiping.

Nano particles are found in Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide. The long-term health risks of nanoparticles remain poorly understood. The likely exposure in ‘real life’ conditions is also unknown. But early studies have suggested that if exposure is high enough, nanoparticles now used by the cosmetics industry could cause lung damage , cell toxicity, damage DNA, and possibly even harm unborn children.
