Mineral Products
If you are going to wear makeup and use cosmetics, you want to
create a veneer that correlates with who you are. This is why
it is a good idea to use natural products. Who you are can be
read on your face. The decisions you make are visible,
especially with makeup. By using a private label, you know you
will get what you expect. In addition, your face will be
covered with no synthetics or chemicals. Iron oxide is found
in nature in red, orange and yellow hues. These pigments are
blended into flesh tones for mineral foundations. Silk Mica
gives mineral makeup a smooth texture, and hydrated silica binds
the minerals to make them less messy. Individual brands may add
secondary ingredients, such as vitamins, extra skin softeners or
stronger pigments to neutralize skin tone.
Natural beauty is key to makeup application. Mineral makeup can
counteract a host of familiar challenges. People prone to
allergies or with sensitive skin will find mineral makeup
contains no irritating dyes or perfumes. They do not use talc
and other fillers that can be harmful to the skin. The
acne-prone will find mineral makeup is organic, hypoallergenic
and oil free; it will not clog pores like some conventional
cosmetics.
As opposed to traditional cosmetics, mineral foundations can
provide sheer to full coverage. A light, sheer finish can be
accomplished by moving the applicator brush in small circles on
the face. Mineral makeup can also provide a more opaque texture
if applied in layers with a damp sponge, much like you would
apply liquid foundation. Fortunately, the consistency of mineral
makeup gives coverage without the thick, unnatural,
pore-clogging consequences of traditional liquid foundation.
Mineral makeup is a safe solution.
Mineral makeup is the latest trend in cosmetics. It is sold from
department store counters, championed on late night infomercials
and touted in fashion magazines. Despite different brand names
and marketing strategies, most mineral makeup has remarkably
similar ingredients. Some commonly used minerals include
micronized titanium dioxide, micronized zinc oxide, iron oxide
and silk mica. Micronized titanium dioxide, a common ingredient
in sun block products, is particularly suited to protect skin
from damaging sunlight. This white mineral’s crystalline
structure naturally reflects and defuses the sun’s harmful rays.
Micronized zinc oxide works in combination with the micronized
titanium dioxide to reflect the sunlight’s dangerous UVA and UVB
rays.
