The Ingredients of Natural Mineral Makeup
By: Sal Farzin

Much has been said about natural mineral makeup. However, a lot of women are still confused about them, what they are, and why they are set apart from the ordinary make-ups being sold at beauty centers.

Without much ado, the main thing that makes these cosmetics different from all the rest is its ingredients. These makeups are made with the best mineral ingredients in their most natural form. The processing of these minerals that turn them into cosmetics is methodical and exacting as well. It is also very carefully done in order to achieve the quality that these make-ups call for.

Minerals that exist naturally such as iron oxide, titanium, and zinc oxide are the main ingredients of these make-ups. These minerals are mined from the earth and are scrutinized to know if they are fit for cosmetic production or not. The fine minerals are gathered. The ones that didn't pass the cosmetic-grade standards are used for industrial applications and other similar purposes.

To make make-ups, these minerals will be grounded finely and purified. It will also be treated accordingly to remove all impurities. On its barest form, they won't harm your skin at all. Natural dyes are usually added to the mixture in order to have a variety of hues, shades, and effects.

After the delicate process, natural mineral makeup is now available at your favorite cosmetics store. And it comes in all colors perfect for your skin tone. There will also be some that provides for a shimmering, matte, or sparkling effect when used on the face. And because the composition of the make-up is pure, it will not cause any damage to your skin, even after years of using it.

On the other hand, ordinary make-ups purchased at health and beauty shops can't guarantee you of purity and mildness. Those types use unnatural oils and animal by-products as an ingredient that can be very harmful to the skin. Some of them may claim that they use hypo-allergenic ingredients. But unless the label explicitly indicates that the makeup's content is 100% pure and natural, there's no way of knowing whether or not the products uses harmful colorings, dyes, perfume, preservatives, and other equally damaging chemicals.

If you want healthier skin, use natural mineral makeup. It is your best bet to maintain a younger looking skin. Make-ups are slowly becoming a basic necessity these days, with more and more women wearing them whenever they go out the house. Women wear cosmetics as they go to work, dine out with friends, or stop by the grocer. Just imagine using chemical-based makeup onto your skin for years. Wouldn't you want to make the switch now?
