Orglamix Cosmetics is one of Cheri Tracy's numerous companies. She sold through Etsy.com and built the brand to be "mom-made natural and organic mineral makeup". Keep in mind minerals are inorganic by definition.
To summarize the s**t storm that ensued recently: A customer was re-potting her Orglamix eyeshadows and removed the label sticker on the bottom only to find another label under it. Turns out Cheri Tracy was buying wholesale cosmetics and just slapping a new label on it. Not handmade and she lied about ingredients and the safety of her products. Not all the shades were vegan and many of her products included synthetic ingredients. All products were listed as both eye and lip safe yet some were not safe for one or the other. Rightfully so, customers were upset. Everything the brand stood for turned out to be a lie.
"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen" seems to be Cheri Tracy's motto. Once the heat was put on Orglamix and her attempt at damage control failed she just disappeared. Some think she's opening yet another business under a different name, but there's no proof of that (although it would not surprise me in the least).
