Minerals in Makeup: Healthful for Your Skin?
Cosmetics containing natural minerals are not new to the beauty market. Natural minerals have been used in makeup for several decades. Mineral powder foundations can help hide imperfections such as blotchy, red skin, and can also help control shine, particularly if your skin is oily.
Recent technical advances now enable mineral powder foundations to provide aesthetic benefits and improve the overall health of the skin1. Many dermatologists now recommend mineral foundations to their patients with sensitive skin. Unlike many other traditional foundations, most products containing minerals are less likely to have irritating ingredients.
Mineral powder foundations can be formulated to include beneficial ingredients such as sunscreen (titanium dioxide and zinc oxide), antioxidants (vitamins A, C, and E), soy, and silk powder. When used on a daily basis, these enhanced powder foundations can protect the skin while improving uneven skin tone, texture, and clarity.
In addition, mineral powder foundations are generally oil-free, are found to be non-irritating and gentle to sensitive or acne-prone skin.
