What Is Mineral Makeup?
Mineral makeup is the most simple, natural product that you can put on your skin. "Mineral makeup" takes its inspiration from minerals and inorganic pigments that exist in nature. The ingredients are finely milled and purified, then treated or coated with other pigments to create different colors and effects. Some mineral pigments are matte, some have a slight shimmer, and some are positively sparkling. Endless combinations of these beautifully colored minerals, such as mica, titanium dioxide, zinc and iron oxides, can be created to make every cosmetic from foundation to eyeshadow to shimmer powder for the body.Mica, for example, is a transparent mineral which is mined from the earth in thin sheets. It can be opalescent and sparkling or completely matte, ranging in color from gray to blue to green. It is often treated with iron oxides to yield brilliant color effects. Due to the sheer, translucent and skin-hugging effect of the mica mineral, your natural skin tone shines through when you use blush, facial powders or eye shadows. Mineral cosmetics contain mica powder, which reflects light from the face, creating an illusion of a smoother, softer and more radiant skin tone. Fine lines are softened; skin texture appears more even and more lucid.
What's the benefit of Mineral Makeup?
Mineral foundation looks and feels much more natural, without sacrificing any of the coverage! It smooths and evens out skin tone, giving the look of naturally flawless skin, rather than the look of a thick mask of traditional liquid foundation.
Non-comedogenic
The most irritating ingredients in cosmetics are talc, dye, and perfume. Most Mineral products are free of all of these irritants and won't clog pores.
Anti-inflammatory
Two of our ingredients, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, are anti-inflammatory and actually help calm the skin. Zinc oxide also has antimicrobial properties. In fact, plastic surgeons and dermatologists routinely recommend mineral makeup to patients who have had laser treatments, micro-dermabrasion, peels or plastic surgery.
Stays on all day long.
Feather-light mineral pigment particles bind to clean, moisturized skin. It doesn’t wear off or sweat off. It's perfect for women who live in hot and humid places.
Natural sunscreen
Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide offer natural, broad-spectrum sun protection.
Excellent for sensitive skin
Traditional liquid foundations contain unnatural ingredients that can produce a state of imbalance or irritation in many skin types. Mineral cosmetics are the simplest, most natural and non-reactive form of cosmetics in existence.
