Mineral Makeup Madness!

Home > Skin Care Articles > Mineral Makeup Madness!
Mineral makeup has become the classic choice for millions of makeup lovers. We see it everywhere - in drug stores, department stores, salons, and on the TV. There are very good reasons why this trend toward minerals is here to stay!

Mineral makeup is produced using pigments found in the earth as opposed to using synthetic ingredients. Mineral makeup has revolutionized the cosmetic world. These cosmetics were once considered an upscale spa exclusive; however, mineral makeup is now available to everyone. In addition to providing flawless coverage, mineral makeup is better for the skin than its conventional counterpart. Mineral makeup is made by pulverizing sterilized minerals into a fine powder that is then mixed with natural pigments to produce various shades.

  1. Won't Clog Pores
    Mineral makeup does not absorb into the skin. Therefore, mineral makeup won't clog pores like some conventional cosmetics.
  2. Sun Protection
    Most mineral makeup includes skin enhancing broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Zinc and titanium oxides are added for sun protection giving most mineral makeup brands at least SPF 15 protection.
  3. Absorbs Oil
    Women who suffer from oily skin can use mineral makeup because the finely ground powder will absorb excess oil without clogging pores. The makeup itself has no oil or talc in it, both of which are known to prevent skin from breathing, an important element for oily skin.
  4. Hypoallergenic
    Since there are no silicones, fragrances, chemicals, rice powders or dyes, all common ingredients in other synthetic makeup brands, mineral makeup does not trigger allergic reactions such as skin inflammation, irritation or redness.
  5. Coverage
    In addition to skin enhancement, mineral makeup provides exceptional coverage without feeling heavy. Mineral makeup covers redness and gives the appearance of even skin-tone while remaining relatively light and smudge free.
