What is Mineral Makeup?

Mineral Makeup is the name given for products made of all natural, finely ground minerals from the earth, without any of the chemicals, dyes, and preservatives found in traditional makeup. These are light, finely ground loose minerals that are buffed into the skin using a wide, fluffy brush called the Kabuki brush. 

-Some of the benefits of mineral makeup are:

- looks natural, doesn’t feel like you are wearing makeup

 - does not clog pores

- easy to correct imperfections

- stays on for the whole day

- acts as a sunscreen

- does not include harsh chemicals or preservatives

- no expiry date, products can be used for years

While Mineral Makeup can be used by all skin types, it is especially beneficial if you have sensitive skin or skin that’s prone to acne or rosacea. 

While there are a lot of mineral makeup brands available, you need to check the ingredients to ensure you are getting the real deal. Some of the ingredients you should look for are mica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxides. Zinc and Titanium act as the sun block/sunscreen. 

Some mineral makeup contains fillers like flours, talcs, corn starch, rice powders, and this should be avoided at all costs. Another ingredient that you should avoid is Bismuth Oxychloride. Bismuth is a skin irritant and can cause itching, rashes, and cystic acne in some cases. Always check the ingredients to ensure it does not contain any Bismuth.
