The question everyone seems to be asking: Is mineral makeup better for your skin? In order to answer this question, we first need to take a look at what is mineral based makeup and what does mineral makeup do to your skin.

What is Mineral makeup?

Mineral makeup is made out of minerals - in other words, naturally derived ingredients. As we all know, natural ingredients are far better for our skin to absorb than non-natural ones.

Why is Mineral makeup better for your skin?

Mineral makeup does not contain any chemicals, dyes, preservatives, parabens, fillers, or binders found in traditional makeup formulas.

Needless to say, the absence of those nasties, plus the fact that mineral makeup is made of natural ingredients, make it a much better choice for your skin's health.

The benefits of mineral makeup for your skin

• Mineral makeup contains a natural SPF factor, such as:

Zinc oxide: a natural sunscreen, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant

Titanium Dioxide: a natural pigment with sunscreen

• Mineral makeup doesn't slide off or disappear by the end of the day due to a lack of oils or waxes like traditional makeup does.
  
  
• Mineral makeup is not only makeup! It actually acts like skincare, not only used to camouflage your face, but also to promote healthier skin. Mineral makeup is what your Skin Therapist, Dermatologist and other skin specialists would recommend every single time!
