 Pure mineral makeup is made up of mineral elements. Natural minerals are finely milled, powdered and made pure in form before they are used in mineral makeup products,without any of the chemicals, dyes, and preservatives found in traditional makeupEach product is created by mixing minerals with other inorganic pigments to create a wider color palette.These products are made up of microscopic flat crystals that overlap each other on the skin to offer a layer that protects the skin from pollutants and allows it to breathe. Pure Mineral makeup is non-comedogenic, which means it does not block the pores of the skin. Mineral make-up is rich in; zinc, gold, titan and magnesium.All the elements relax the face nourishing it and offer it blaze. Because of it’s hypoallergenicall composition the mineral make-up can be used for that kind of feces that present problems like the mixed face, with black flaws, pimples, dilated pores. You should expect to see these ingredients in your mineral makeup: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Zinc Oxide. You may also see Kaolin Clay and Ultramarine Blue in pure mineral makeup.Mica powder, which reflects light from the face, creating an illusion of a smoother, softer and more radiant skin tone. Two of our ingredients, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, are anti-inflammatory and actually help calm the skin. Zinc oxide also has antimicrobial properties. In fact, plastic surgeons and dermatologists routinely recommend mineral makeup to patients who have had laser treatments, microdermabrasion, peels or plastic surgery.Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide offer natural, broad-spectrum sun protection.
I suggest you not to buy mineral makeup with Bismuth Oxychloride because it can accentuate pores and cause break-outs on sensitive, acne prone, and/or skin with rosacea. It has a pearlescent property to increase whiteness/shininess to mineral makeup. Many expensive mineral makeup brands use this as it is cheap to buy, making it an inexpensive filler. Bismuth contains mineral salts that can be irritating.You also should be on the lookout for companies that do not add "food grade" fillers, such as rice powder or corn starch. These give bacteria a place to grow.Although the FDA has approved this for use in cosmetics, 75% of the users (mostly women) are allergic to this chemical. When you use a product containing bismuth oxychloride you are pushing small metallic particles into your skin, that will clog your pores. Although talc has the same potential for slight irritation, bismuth oxychloride is more likely to cause an allergic contact dermatitis due to its pearlescent nature. Silica (and silica microspheres) are also added to mineral cosmetics to add a silky feel to the product. While this sounds good in principle, and silica is not usually listed as a breakout causing ingredient, in practice we found it could cause severe cystic like breakouts in some women.
