Your pitch to The Good Trade, ready to send
The Good Trade's review of the best clean foundations lists nine brands and says it adds new products when they meet four criteria. Ere Perez isn't on it yet. Below is a short note from you to its editor, Stephanie Fallon, written against those four criteria, with the source for every line.
Why this page: when we asked Claude and Perplexity, as a US shopper, which foundation to try for sensitive skin (7 Nov 2026), Claude cited this review in two of three answers and Perplexity in one.

- Oat Milk Foundation for your clean foundation review
Hi Stephanie,
I'm Ere, founder of Ere Perez. I've been making clean, sensitive-safe makeup since our first mascara in 2002.
I loved your clean foundation review, especially testing on two very different skin types, and I'd love our Oat Milk Foundation considered for the next update. It meets your four criteria:
Nontoxic: more than 2,700 ingredients left out, including silicones, parabens and synthetic fragrance, and every ingredient is on the label. Vegan and PETA certified cruelty free.
Shade matching: 16 shades, a shade quiz that takes under a minute, and a shade finder that matches from the foundation you wear now.
Skincare first: oat, peach and vitamin E, with light, buildable medium coverage and a dewy finish. Best Foundation/Concealer at the Clean & Conscious Awards 2025.
Affordable: $44, shipped from our US warehouse.
Happy to send full size tubes for both testers. Tell me the shade you each wear now and we'll match it.
Warmly,
Ere

What we kept out of the note
- Gluten free. Your FAQ says the Oat Milk Foundation cannot be certified gluten free because of the oats.
- Certified organic. Your FAQ says Ere Perez uses organic ingredients where possible but is not a certified organic company.
- "Samples". Your FAQ says you do not offer samples right now, so the note offers full size tubes instead.
- Any claim that it prevents irritation. The note sticks to your own wording ("sensitive-safe", from your founder page) and claims nothing stronger.
- Where else it is sold in the US. Not checked today, so not claimed.
