Your Mineral Make-Up Should be Free From Bismuth Oxychloride and Other Fillers
Mineral powder pigments should be free from food-grade additives and other harmful fillers. Only accept those that are completely non-organic. Non-organic pigments cannot grow molds, yeasts, or bacteria. They are an excellent sunscreen and will not clog pores. Mineral powder make-up that is truly good for the skin, is free from food-grade or skin-irritating additives.
(PRWEB) June 30, 2005 -- The addition of bismuth oxychloride in mineral
make-up is unnecessary and a skin irritant to those individuals who are roseacea
or acne prone, or have other sensitive skin issues. Bismuth oxychloride serves
no useful purpose, other than its' use as a whitener, smoother and filler.
Bismuth contains mineral salts that can be irritating.
Since other,
non-irritating smoothers exist in the mineral world, their addition is largely
unnecessary. Seek out companies that leave off this skin irritating additive.
You also should be on the lookout for companies that do not add "food grade"
fillers, such as rice powder or corn starch. These give bacteria a place to
grow. The whole appeal of mineral powder make-up is the way it covers so
beautifully and gives a natural "good skin" look, without introducing harmful
ingredients. So why add these potential "bacterial housing projects" to your
cosmetics?
These additives DO give a silky texture, and corn starch is
oil-absorbing, but the associated skin problems that come with the addition of
organic materials to your non-organic mineral pigments are not justified.
Oil-absorbing minerals can be added to give a healthy, clean look to oily skin
clients.
Natural mineral pigments cannot clog pores. They give excellent
coverage and contain none of the harmful ingredients found in commercial liquid
or dry cosmetics. Mineral pigments lie on top of the skin in thin "sheets", that
layer upon each other. Because they contain mica, they reflect light away from
fine lines and blemishes. Mica also give an incrediblly wide variety of colors
and shade options. Mineral powder cosmetics are water resistant, and a natural
sunscreen of about 18-25, depending on your coverage. This quality makes them
perfect for sports or swimming. Simply blot with a towel after swimming in
mineral powder make-up. You will loose some of the coverage, but not all of the
sun-protection factors.
You can get a matte or semi-matte look, with
Mineral Powder cosmetics, or create a dewey finish. Whatever your particular
skin requires, you can obtain that finish with mineral powder
make-up.
