Mineral Makeup Ingredients: Good Stuff Inside
By Marilyn Etzel
All mineral is not identical. Before choosing cosmetics, decide what you desire in your mineral cosmetics. Mineral is designed to be sheer, lightweight, and natural looking at any age. Beyond that, the ingredients are nourishing to your skin.
Read the ingredient list of the mineral products on the market. Some have added fillers to their formulas. The fillers make up a larger portion of the cosmetics than the minerals do. Know what you are getting before you make a purchase.
The good stuff in mineral not only keeps you looking natural but adds to the health of the skin. As such, your won't harm your face. Here is a list of some of that good stuff.
1. Mica - You'll see this ingredient in most mineral preparations. Mica has many forms, the most common of which is serecite mica. This mineral helps the other components to adhere to your face where they are supposed to stay and stay nicely. Mica also uses the reflection of the light to hide wrinkles, large pores, and lines.
2. Titanium Dioxide - If you have any skin problems you want to hide, this is the mineral you want to have on board. Titanium dioxide adds a matte finish to the skin which is more natural. A component of sunscreen, this mineral protects the skin from harmful solar radiation. It reinforces the work of sunscreen, which should be applied before your makeup.
3. Zinc Oxide - it's just like that white stuff you see on the
noses of surfers on the beach. Zinc is a mineral that aids in naturally healing the body without chemicals. As zinc oxide, it provides protection from the sun (as an ingredient found in most sunscreens) because it stays on when your face gets wet.
4. Iron Oxide - There's nothing wrong with a splash of color to make a women noticeable in a crowd. Iron oxides add color to mineral naturally. The pigments come in several shades useful for eye shadows and blushes. More subtle pigments are used to match foundations to all skin tones.
5. Silica - Oily skin is a problem for many people. Silica adds a silky finish to the skin as well as sopping up excess skin oil that can make your face shine. The powdered silica reduces the appearance of pores and those fine lines we wish were finer and less visible.
6. Boron nitride - has properties similar to other minerals in the makeup. Boron nitride absorbs oil from your skin, adds a smooth silky feel to the skin, and also a natural glow and not a shiny one.
Mineral that contains these components can be said to be natural. Some mineral adds other components like rice powder and kaolin clay as well. These ingredients do have good properties such as oil absorption, but if you have very sensitive or dry skin, test these formulations gradually to make sure your skin can tolerate them.
You know your skin better than anyone. Do what is right for you and your skin health.
