The Benefits of Mineral Makeup
By Terry Neal

Most consumers would be surprised to learn that the government does not require cosmetics and personal care products to be safety tested.  A manufacturer may use any raw material as an ingredient and market it without approval from the FDA.  This is alarming because individual ingredients vary tremendously in their ability to soak through the skin. Some absorb in minuscule amounts, while others can quite easily penetrate the skin to the blood vessels below.

Our skin is the boundary and contact between our environment and us. It is a complex, vital organ. It is also an absorptive organ. It absorbs oxygen, vitamins, minerals, even protein.  This means if you apply toxic substances to your skin, they may find their way to your internal organs.

The Benefits of Mineral Makeup

Perfect for all skin types, mineral makeup actually heals, balances and shields your skin.

Minerals create a unique, protective layer of sunscreen and antioxidants that protect environmental pollutants from penetrating the skin. It is water resistant with an SPF26.

It’s a gift from Nature. Mineral makeup gets it’s radiant color pigments from the Earth’s natural minerals. It reflects the light, minimizing flaws and enhancing your skin’s own natural beauty.

It’s sheer, but potent. The color saturation of minerals is amazing. A little goes a long way. It is delicate enough to let you layer color over color without that heavy “made-up” look.

It’s actually good for your skin. Tiny mineral pigments nurture the skin by forming a sheer protective layer that lets oxygen in, allowing the skin to breathe, yet blocks out the damaging rays of the sun. It contains no oils that can clog and enlarge pores. It is perfume and dye free, both known to cause skin allergies.  Because it has no talc or alcohol - drying agents commonly found in other cosmetics - your skin stays hydrated.

Mineral makeup protects your skin from aging. We all know the serious damage the sun does to the skin and how essential sunscreen is for protection and prevention. Mineral foundation is a natural sun block that protects the skin surface from sunburns, freckling, uneven pigment coloration, premature wrinkling - even skin cancer. Mineral foundation has powerful reflective qualities that protect the skin from ravaging UVA and UVB rays.
