Bismuth and Acne

Many mineral foundations contain bismuth. If you are allergic to the shimmer in other makeup it is possible you are allergic to bismuth. One other ingredient found in many of the mineral makeups is talc.If you're allergic to it it can cause rashes and acne. It's not a common allergy, but common enough that a number of women notice these reactions when using. Find one that has no bismuth and no talc this will increase the chances of NOT having a breakout.
One of the best mineral make-ups around is Jane Iredale.
