We only use Mica in small proportion to our overall formulas and it is encapsulated in methicone. This helps retain moisture against the skin while reducing mica sensitivity. Provides a lovely soft focus for mature women, restoring age defying beauty.

Allantoin is added for soothing skin irritations and is ideal for women who are dealing with erythema after a cosmetic procedure.

Certified Organic Jojoba Oil (a Wax Ester) is added for protecting and stabilizing the skins’ acid mantle, keeping skin pH balanced, whereby preventing the dryness associated with other brands. It’s also rich in natural antioxidants, helping to fight free radicals which prematurely age skin.

Preservatives are not needed due to the dry, inert nature of loose mineral powders. Bacteria simply cannot grow.

Bismuth Oxychloride which is used in other leading mineral makeup brands, is a known skin irritant for many women and can contribute to cyclic outbreaks of acne, including cystic acne.

The Bottom Line...

There are still a vast majority of mineral makeup companies incorporating synthetic chemicals into their formulas, such as preservatives, artificial colors, dyes, and utilize coatings like Carnauba Wax (thickener, binder), Magnesium Myristate (emulsifier, binder) or Perfluoroalkyl Phosphate (film former, binder) to improve mineral performance, and are the most commonly used treatments of Mica and / or Titanium Dioxide. Other problematic ingredients include Dimethicone (silicone oil) and Lauroyl Lysine (surfactant, binder).

The problem with these types of coatings, they make the minerals heavy in texture, causing them to grab onto the skin during application (the caked look), making dispersion more difficult. This heaviness can also factor into ongoing acne problems even though most advertise it is great for acne, or won’t cause acne. This can be frustrating for a newbie trying minerals for the first time.

Unfortunately, many companies do not declare the coatings on their ingredient decks, so you really may never know why a certain brand is or isn’t performing like it should.

Women don’t want mystery when it comes to putting something on their skin, but result driven formulas proven to create a valued improvement to their skin health, and are truly unique in their formulation…..and they want these results without gimmicks!

We have and will always remain transparent and continue our dedication in providing truth, integrity, ethics and education to anyone who seeks it.
