Mineral Makeup: Enhance Beauty Without Harmful Additives
An increasingly popular makeup that is free of dyes and fragrances originated in the 1970s. It has no preservatives and is formed from minerals with no additives. It’s known as mineral makeup and consists of finely ground minerals.
Proponents claim that it’s gentler and better for the skin than traditional makeup. Beauty experts describe it as light, hypoallergenic and luminescent. The product is more effective on non-ethnic skin tones. It’s available for prices ranging from $10-$50 and is one of the most highly talked about forms of makeup available.
The anti-inflammatory qualities of zinc oxide make this makeup effective in calming and soothing the skin. The ingredients don’t clog the pores of the skin. If you suffer from acne, this can be a very beneficial factor.
The minerals in the makeup are effective as a sun block. A seal of approval by the Cancer Society is a real plus for the product. SPF rating for some mineral brands is up to 15. The sun block is due to the minerals zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
With this makeup as well as with other makeup products, it’s important to read the labels even the fine print. Because the term “mineral” is not officially designed by the government, you may find chemicals in an “all natural” product. You may find additives in an :all mineral formula”. Research the ingredients that you find on the label to see if the ingredients come under your personal definition of pure and natural.
Some mineral makeup contains bismuth oxycloride as a pearlizing agent. The ingredient is a by-product when copper and lead is processed. In some people, this can cause skin irritation so it is important to read all of the label when choosing the makeup for sensitive skin.
