Soooo I've recently switched over to all natural products, except for my foundation. I haven't been able to find one suitable for my skin type (oily & acne prone). Anyone know any good brands??

I like Dr. Hauschka, Andalou Naturals, Pacifica and Honey Bee Gardens. They are all natural and/or organic brands. Andalou has a oil control BB creme and Honey Bee Gardens has a powder foundation.
If you want to view more natural/organic brands there are two really good data base sites that show how healthy a product is and it's ingredients.
The first website is Skin Deep and the second is Good Guide:

Sadly, I must inform you that their are no cosmetic brands that are completely organic or natural. I am sure Hannah or Kitty or another modcould explain better. But I'll give it a try...

So in order to be approved by the USDAas an "organic brand" the makeup has to consist of at least 95% organic ingredients. Since the qualification is not 100%, it would be completely for to say that you have no true way of knowing whether that leftover five percent of approved brands, could be those toxic chemicals.
Basically in today's society you really can't find any completely 100% all natural or organic cosmetic simply because the standards are held a little lower than they should be, and so forth. There is most usually that something that is man-made that goes into the product. If you really think about it, could you really consider any makeup organic, simply because it us made by man, it doesn't grow out of the ground that way. lol. Food for thought. Sorry if I wasn't of much help.:)))) Have a marvelous day!:)<3

Geek Chic Cosmetics products are cruelty free, gluten free, and either completely or mostly vegan. They have nice powder foundations, in addition to their other awesome products.

I agree with MaKenzie, but I will also say that not all chemicals are bad. Chemicals come from nature too. And the amounts in most cosmetics that aren't natural/organic are usually very small. But as far as brands of more natural-ish brands or brands that at the very least would be good to try for sensitive skin would be Origins and Tarte. I love Origins skincare particularly but both make great quality products.
