Ingredients Matter!

Mineral makeup has taken the beauty world by storm, offering a natural and skin-friendly alternative to traditional cosmetics. One of the secrets to its success lies in the choice of ingredients. In this article, we'll explore the key components that make up mineral makeup and answer some common questions about this beauty trend.

Zinc Oxide: Versatile Sun Protection 

Zinc oxide is a versatile mineral ingredient used in mineral makeup products. It is considered cosmetic grade, making it safe for application on lips, eyes, face, and nails. One of its prominent roles is providing protection against harmful UV rays, making it a go-to ingredient in sunscreen formulations. Additionally, zinc oxide exhibits anti-bacterial properties, contributing to the overall safety of mineral makeup.

Kaolin Clay: The Pure White Clay Known for Its Purity

Kaolin clay, often referred to as the purest of clays, is a fluffy white substance recognised for its cosmetic benefits. It is a valuable ingredient in mineral makeup, contributing to a smooth and refined texture. Its mild properties make it suitable for various cosmetic applications, promoting an elegant finish.

Titanium Dioxide: Whitening and UV Protection 

Cosmetic grade titanium dioxide is another essential mineral component in makeup. Like zinc oxide, it is safe for use on lips, eyes, face, and nails. This mineral is prized for its whitening effect and its ability to provide UV protection, making it an ideal choice for sunscreen products. Additionally, it imparts a natural finish to makeup products.

Silica Powder Spheres: Control and Refinement Smooth, Translucent Powder

Silica powder spheres are known for their oil-absorbing properties, making them a valuable addition to mineral makeup. This smooth, translucent powder aids in oil control, reducing shine and contributing to a matte finish. It is also recognised for its role in minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Serecite Mica: Adhesion and Shine Used in Foundation and Eyeshadow Blends

Serecite mica, coated with carnauba wax, is a colourless powder that enhances adhesion and shine in mineral makeup. This component is frequently employed in foundation and eyeshadow blends, providing medium adhesion and a youthful shine. It can also assist in reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.

Rice Powder: The Natural Alternative Lightweight and Oil-Absorbing

Rice powder, both food and cosmetic grade, serves as a natural alternative to traditional ingredients like talc. Lightweight and translucent, it excels as a setting powder or mineral veil. Ideal for those with sensitivity to starch or talc, rice powder offers a smooth, oil-absorbing solution with a porcelain shine-free finish.

Magnesium Stearate and Myristate: Enhancing Adhesion Used in Various Cosmetic Products

Magnesium stearate and magnesium myristate are white alkaline powders that function as thickening agents, improving adhesion and slip in mineral makeup products. They are commonly utilised in foundation powders, eyeshadows, and blushes, enhancing the overall performance and wear-time of cosmetics.

Boron Nitride 16: A Matte Finish Offers Excellent Adherence and a Silky Feel

Boron nitride 16 is a grade of boron nitride known for its matte, lubricating effect. It excels in providing adherence, a soft and silky feel, and coverage without opacity. This ingredient is a valuable addition to high-end mineral makeup, delivering an impeccable finish.

Good coverage

As I have now retired, I am not wearing foundation any longer. I Love the bb cream instead. I found the mineral foundation a little too thick so not for me but it is lovely to apply.

I Love this product

This foundation is so smooth to apply and has a very natural look. As I have sensitive skin and eyes, the bonus for me is it has no nasty ingredients and therefore doesn’t cause and issues. I’ve been using it for years and will continue to do so. Thank you Mismo. Regards, Faye
