Simply put, mineral cosmetics are actually made from naturally occuring mineral elements. They generally contain a combination of zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, bismuth oxychloride, iron oxides and other 100% natural elements. These minerals are mixed with other inorganic pigments to produce desired coloration. (For more information, see our "know your minerals" page.)

True mineral cosmetics do not contain artificial fragrances, colors or preservatives. These ingredients are some of the causes of allergies in many people, and can also be irritating to the skin.

Here are just a handful of ingredients that you can find in a typical liquid foundation: Methoxycinnamate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Octyl Palmitate, Nylon 12, Glycerine, Propolene Glycol, Glyeryl Stearate, Mineral Oil, Stearic Acid, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Isostearate, Steraryl Alcohol, Shea BUtter, Panthenol, Magnesium Aluminum, Silicate, Sodium Lauroyl, Sarcosinate, Lanolin Alcohol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Cellulose Gum, Peanut Oil, Fragrance and talc, just to name a few.

So, you smear this greasy chemical mixture on your face every day, and wonder why you have skin problems?

Mineral cosmetics do not contain chemical irritants or pore-clogging oils. which makes its’ use particularly good for people with acne and sensitive skin. Mineral makeup is non-comedogenic, which is to say it does not obstruct the skin and cause comedones (blackheads, clogged pores). But mineral makeup is also great for normal skin as well. It is a healthier alternative for people who want a naturally radiant, even skin tone, but do not want to wear an excessive amount of makeup. Mineral cosmetics also contain ingredients that can help to protect the skin, for example, by providing protection from sun in a more natural manner.

The main function of cosmetics is to make the wearer look good. Mineral cosmetics definitely will help you achieve this goal. It’s a style of makeup good for people with fine lines and wrinkles because of how it reflects light.  Minerals also provide long-lasting coverage and a lightweight feel. 

Is it better than regular makeup? Mineral cosmetics can be very good for women who like to wear light, natural looking makeup or who have problematic skin. While quality and ingredients of traditional makeup can vary from brand to brand, there are a lot of really bad makeup products out there in the market. Mineral cosmetics offer a healthier choice from that traditional makeup.
