Naked Minerals: Mineral Makeup That Works!

Mineral cosmetics are made from finely powdered naturally inert substances which are found in the earth. These minerals are inert, meaning they are not chemically reactive, and so they are considered to be harmless. Since they are natural, they also have beneficial effects on the skin. They are also called naked minerals because of the natural composition and because they are barely visible on the skin.

There are many benefits of using mineral cosmetics. They are non-comedogenic and hence, are ideally suited for sensitive skin types. Since the mineral makeup powder is extremely fine, they do not clog the skin pores, and hence they keep the skin clean and allow it to breathe. Bacterial growth does not occur because the minerals are inert and inorganic. This is very beneficial for the skin and helps to prevent many skin conditions.

Compared to regular cosmetics, mineral makeup has a lighter, finer texture. Mineral makeup creates a very thin layer of microscopic flat crystals, which act like a filter and create a natural look. The thin application prevents the makeup from smearing easily and helps it look good much longer. The term "naked minerals" is also used for this type of makeup because of its translucence.

These cosmetics do not need added preservatives to increase their shelf life due to their natural and inert composition. Therefore they are free of preservatives such as fillers, dyes, oils, and parabens which could be harmful. The primary ingredients are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, both good sunscreen agents, giving the cosmetics a high SPF rating. For this reason, mineral makeup helps protect the skin from cancer. The makeup also contains mica, which gives the skin a softer and smoother appearance by covering up fine lines and wrinkles.

The anti-inflammatory nature of the zinc oxide makes these an excellent choice for those who have a skin condition, since the makeup helps with healing. Also, the skin can be made younger and healthier by the natural ingredients in the makeup such as clay.

Salon experts agree that make-up containing bare minerals without fillers and other synthetic compounds are a welcome addition to the industry. Physicians are also praising the natural cosmetic products. Without potentially damaging ingredients, make-up with pure mineral content is a wiser choice.
