Monday, March 21, 2011

Mineral makeup offers three essential benefits:
- Instant, physical, stable environmental protection, minerals also refract light and heat to keep the skin cool.
- can be used effectively to camouflage uneven skin colore.
- reflects light to give the skin a healthy, youthful glow.
 
The minerals Colorescience works with: 
Iron Oxides- provide mineral makeup with its colour.
Bismuth Oxychloride- white, pearl, velvety feeling mineral.
- It is the ingredient that makes a mineral formula "feel like a cream", anti-inflammatory and absorbs oil.
- assists in making skin look younger.
Mica- actually "melts" onto the skin
- used to balance the blend of the colour and minerals.
- too much of this mineral in a formula will leave the face looking excessively shiny.
Pigment Titanium Dioxide-  without this product, full camouflage coverage would not be possible.
- limits the amount of heat exposure to the skin- keeps the skin cool.
Micronized Titanium Dioxide- when exposed to UV light, titanium dioxide has anti-bacterial properties.
Micronized Zinc Oxide- teams with titanium dioxide to offer further sun protection by reflecting UVA rays.
- soothing mineral, anti-inflammatory & anti-microbial properties.
