Mineral makeup is chocked full of benefits for the face.  When mineral makeup started appearing on the scene, one mineral makeup brand claimed its makeup was so good people could sleep with it on.  Of course everyone knows not to sleep with makeup on, not even mineral makeup.

The benefits of mineral makeup have consumers throwing away their chemical cosmetic brands for these healing natural earth element capabilities. Elements from the periodical chart are the sought after mineral makeup ingredients for anyone wanting chemical free, aka eco-friendly green cosmetics.

When choosing a mineral makeup brand it is necessary to read ingredient labels.  Some mineral makeup companies use silk, talc, FD&C Lakes, (dyes) bismuth oxychloride, biron and mica, which are known to cause itching, redness, and acne. Some of the above ingredients also produce acne and rosacea.  The short listing above are cosmetic ingredients to avoid.

• Natural anti-inflammatory properties, helping heal, calm, and reduce redness in rosacea and acne prone skin types.

• Natural organic Ingredients readily absorbed by our bodies for long lasting results.
• Quick and easy mineral foundation application methods where far less product is needed allowing for substantial cost per product effectiveness.

*Please read each mineral cosmetic label for specific ingredients per mineral makeup brand and product packaging.  Not all mineral cosmetics carry the above listing of healing capabilities.

It’s just a matter of time before consumers find the right mineral foundation color to compliment their skin and add healthy benefits such as those listed above.
