What is mineral makeup?
The powder is made from high pigment minerals that have been crushed very finely. Mineral powder also produces natural UV radiation protection since the powder base uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as basic substances. It has no dyes, no talc, no fillers, and no chemicals added.
Use on Any Type of Skin
Mineral powder makeup is recommended for any type of skin. Its zinc oxide content makes the substance anti inflammatory, and can be used even if you have skin blemishes or rosacea. The finely crushed micro ionized pigments, does not make skin pores clog. The skin is allowed to breathe and produce the vitamins essential for healthy skin. The risk for allergies to occur is also very minimal. Moisture and hydration on the skin is retained since there is no talc in the powders. Because most of the mineral powders have zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, gold, aluminum, and magnesium, the properties inherent in these minerals refresh, relax and automatically rejuvenate a person's skin.
Long Lasting
Mineral powder make up is very versatile, stays on long and shows the same vibrant result even if the level of humidity is high and the person using it sweats. This type of mineral face makeup never runs. It is a matte powder that easily blends on the skin and feels and looks good. The powder is both healing and healthy. You may even use it to conceal scars from burns. It is useful in hot climates and can be used as a sun protector with a 15 to 20 SPF rating. It also has a proven 90 minute water resistant factor.
Pure and Gentle
Many prefer to use these powders because of the purity of their mineral makeup ingredients and the gentle effect on the skin. Their inorganic substances, tone and soothe the skin, fine lines are minimized and skin imperfections can be concealed to show flawless skin. Some dermatologists and physicians have even prescribed the use of mineral based makeup for those who have undergone cosmetic treatments. Even after your face has been washed several hours before, the natural radiance and suppleness of your skin is still visible.
Many dermatologists have given feedback that because mineral powder makeup eliminates the common skin irritants found in makeup like: preservatives, synthetic dyes, fragrances and binders, mineral powders are considered "purer" and are gentler to the skin.
Caution: Not All are The Same
Tough mineral powder makeup brands may claim that they use pure mineral formulations in their products, not all the mineral content can be considered pure and non irritant. There is a natural mineral called bismuth oxycholoride that can be harmful to certain types of skin and are found in some brands.
Bismuth oxychloride is a mineral byproduct of copper and lead processing, and is used to bind some makeup products. It gives mineral powder makeup a certain "candlelight" glow on your skin.
Sensitive Skin Beware
If you have sensitive skin, rosacea or acne, it is best to avoid using any product with this mineral since it can cause rashes, itching, and can be a skin irritant. In large doses, it can cause cystic acne to develop as well. It is best to avoid the mineral powder products that have this particular ingredient if you have very sensitive skin. Some products though may contain very little amounts of this ingredient and may not be an irritant.
For your personal safety, it is recommended that for any type of makeup you purchase, take caution. Do not simply believe what a product advertisement claims. Check the product content and try the product first on your skin, in minimal amounts to see the effect. If no signs of irritation show and you like the look and feel, purchase the product.
