Do you get confused by all the fuss surrounding mineral makeup versus traditional makeup? What even is mineral makeup after all?
Mineral makeup is made out of minerals. Extracted from our exquisite earth, naturally derived ingredients that are healthy for our skin. It does NOT contain dyes, preservatives or any of the chemicals present in traditional makeup formulas.
Some of the natural ingredients contained in mineral makeup include:
- Zinc oxide: a natural sunscreen, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant
- Iron oxides: matches your skin Fitzpatrick type
- Titanium dioxide: a natural pigment with a natural sunscreen
- Mica powders: tiny particles give instant glow and shimmer
The reason why we are transitioning to mineral makeup is, it is more natural, with no parabens, binders, and fillers. Mineral makeup is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic too, meaning it is the best choice for all sensitive skin types and conditions.
Mineral makeup will not clog your pores or cause breakouts as your skin can still breathe. Amazing choice for those that suffer from acne or rosacea skin conditions.
Here is the best mineral foundation for your skin type:
