Mineral Makeup: Today's Developments

By: Tom Cromlento Home | Health-and-Fitness | Beauty


Mineral face makeup is the latest trend in the cosmetics business. This organic makeup is promoted to be a better and healthier alternative to traditional makeup. Certain ingredients which are considered irritants, such as talc, fragrances, dyes, oils, and preservatives, are omitted from the manufacturing process of mineral makeup cosmetics.

Mineral makeup cosmetics have become a hot item with today's health conscious woman. Cosmetic companies are in hot competition to offer popular products to their customers. Many of these companies are investing in the development of their own line of mineral cosmetics using minerals to produce different colors and effects.

This innovative makeup is being marketed as a healthier alternative to previously developed makeup by the cosmetic industry. Emphasis is being placed on using mineral makeup and its advantages such as anti-inflammatory, purification, pigmentation, and natural ingredients. These mineral based makeups also emphasize that using ingredients such as zinc oxide will provide the consumer with natural sunscreen to protect the complexion from UV rays and prevent bacteria on the face.

Mica is another one of the major ingredients in the development of mineral makeup cosmetics. This mineral is ground into a fine white power and numerous colored pigments are added. The mass majority of colors added to mica makes it a great base for mineral face makeup matching virtually any skin tone and texture. The finer the mica is ground the silkier the feel of the makeup.

Iron oxide is another mineral material which is often considered as rust. If added to the cosmetics, it gives a yellow or bronze tone. Shininess of the makeup may be improved by the addition of bismuth oxychloride. The bismuth oxychloride can also add a luminescence to the products, with an additional satin glow effect to the skin. At times the makeup need to be whitened for various skin tones, and this is usually achieved by adding titanium dioxide.

These are few of the minerals being used in the emerging industry of mineral makeup cosmetics. As more cosmetic companies vie for the mineral cosmetics market, the more minerals will be milled and developed. Companies offer mineral makeup products that help moisturize dry skin to look and feel healthier, prevent acne and clogged pores, smoother coverage and a silkier feel than older cosmetics and a product to give the light feel of natural skin.
