Mineral makeup
is one of the hottest trends in the beauty market today.
Natural, earth-based makeup has grown in popularity in the
last decade as we strive to become healthy and “green” and
we see the need to integrate natural, organic products
into our lives.
Skin is a living,
breathing tissue that covers and protects the body, but it
also absorbs substances that come into contact with it.
Just as prescription drugs can be delivered through our skin
via a patch – makeup and facial care products are also
absorbed by our skin. It is important to use
both natural skincare and natural makeup products that are
chemical, pesticide and paraben free.
All natural mineral
makeup is free of harsh preservatives, fragrances, and
synthetic dyes. Many of these artificial ingredients are
the culprits that can irritate sensitive skin. Consumers love
mineral makeup because it does not contain these harmful
ingredients, and they are doing something good for
their skin.
Mineral
makeup is as natural as it gets and it does not require
the synthetic preservatives to maintain the shelf life of the
products. It is manufactured using finely ground
stone such as mica, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide –
minerals that come straight from the earth. These
minerals are used to create the powders free of potentially
toxic ingredients, such as talc. There is a demand to produce
cosmetics that beautify, but that also offer health benefits
as well.
Mineral make-up is
made from minerals that have natural healing qualities.
Ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
actually have anti-inflammatory properties. This can be
beneficial if you have skin conditions such as acne or rosacea
that cause the face to redden. Not only will mineral
makeup conceal the condition, but it will also help to correct
the inflammation.
The rich colors are
drawn from natural iron oxides instead of synthetic dyes.
Mineral eye shadows and blushes are available in every hue you
can imagine. So, you’ll never have to give up the colors you
crave.
The exceptionally
silky textured minerals in this natural makeup give long
lasting coverage with a lightweight natural feel, not the
powdery look caused by many talc-based products. Mineral
powder foundations have a light and airy texture. These mineral
powders reflect light to help skin look even and smooth,
instead of caking into fine lines like many traditional
foundations.
Most mineral products
are extremely intense and may be used very sparingly. The
loose powder foundations and blushes are very popular
varieties and can be buffed into the skin using a wide brush.
Mineral makeup also helps protect
your skin from the sun’s damaging rays. Many mineral
ingredients offer the skin protection by blocking the sun’s
rays from penetrating the skin. The minerals (with
titanium dioxide) tend to stay on the skin rather than be
absorbed by it, therefore blocking the UV rays. The light
reflective minerals provide a healthy glow and protection from
the sun.
