Mineral cosmetics are made from finely powdered substances found in the earth. These minerals are considered harmless because they are naturally inert, which means they are not chemically reactive. Because they are natural, they also offer benefits to the skin. Their natural composition, along with the fact that they are barely visible on the skin, have earned them the alternate name "naked minerals." 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. Mineral makeup has a lighter and finer texture than regular cosmetics. The microscopic flat crystals create a very thin layer on the skin which is like a filter. This creates a translucent, sheer and natural look, and that is why the term, naked minerals, is also used. Because of the thin application, the makeup does not smear easily and therefore, can look good much longer. 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. These cosmetics contain natural elements like clay, which will refresh and rejuvenate tired skin, but it also contains zinc oxide, an anti-inflammatory ingredient which makes it possible to use these products even when you have a skin condition. In fact, this makeup will help the skin to heal the condition itself. Naked minerals are recommended by many experts. Styling gurus endorse it as an ideal trend in cosmetics, and dermatologists love its natural ingredients. Traditional cosmetics, after all, contain chemical compounds whose harshness can damage the skin, whereas mineral powder makeup is all-natural.
