Further, since their combinations and densities can be altered in a lab, they can be formulated into many shades, too. The finer the powder, the more coverage it offers. It is legitimate to ask if minerals can be classified as a "natural" ingredient since once extracted from the soil, they are processed in a laboratory.
Also, for those who suffer from rosacea, eczema, acne, or otherwise sensitive skin, mineral makeup can provide some relief. Zinc oxide, one of its main ingredients, is also used in calamine lotion and diaper cream, to soothe skin rashes and itching.
Titanium dioxide, another major ingredient in mineral makeup, is also antimicrobial (which includes being antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, etc.). This non-toxic ingredient can thus help with skin that is inflamed due to excess bacteria (such as acne and rosacea).
Finally, with traditional makeup, ‘gooey’ thickness in a product is the only way to get adequate coverage. But that’s not the case with quality mineral makeup. When manufactured using modern methods, its fine particles provide enough pigment with only a thin application layer. So, mineral makeup feels light, stays put and doesn’t ‘melt’ in the heat.
For all these reasons, we have created a line of natural makeup made with minerals. Our products have a double function: they enhance your natural beauty and provide protection for the skin while helping to control excess sebum. Mineral makeup is suitable for all skin types, including problem skin. To shop our makeup products, click here.
It's also part of our motto: the art of simplicity.
