What’s In It - Natural Beauty

“What’s all the fuss about mineral makeup?”

Mineral make-up is not as new as you might think; thousands of years ago many of our ancestors were using mineral colours to decorate their faces and bodies e.g. the Egyptians and Aztecs. These days pure minerals are taking the beauty industry by storm and with good reason: what better way to make up than with products so pure they could almost be classified as skincare. Made from pure crushed minerals and nothing else, they contain no harsh chemicals, dyes, fillers or preservatives. Mineral makeup is not only gentle on the skin but also contains zinc oxide which has healing properties and is therefore perfect for those who suffer breakouts or have sensitive skin. Some of the other benefits are that it is long lasting, contains a natural sunscreen, feels almost weightless on the skin, doesn’t block the pores, and allows your skin to breathe.

Many people shy away from wearing foundation simply because they find it hard to apply. Mineral foundation powders are so easy to apply that you can achieve fabulously flawless skin in just minutes. It is a highly pigmented loose powder foundation that covers blotches, blemishes and flaws and can be used by anybody. It is especially helpful for people who suffer with acne and rosacea. Follow your foundation with bronzer for that healthy sunkissed glow or choose a blush from a range of colours - from delicate rose to rich raspberry!

Mineral eyeshadows are wonderfully versatile and come in so many beautiful shades, from matt or shimmering earth tones to stunning iridescent peacock hues and zingy citruses. Use them alone, layer over mineral eyeliners to intensify them, use them wet or mix to create your own palette of exclusive shades.

It is estimated that the average lipstick wearing woman will swallow 4 - 6 lbs of lipstick over a lifetime. That’s a sobering thought when the average lipstick contains all manner of chemicals we really wouldn’t choose to eat. Our lipsticks and glosses are made from a base of nourishing plant waxes and emollients with mineral pigments to provide a gorgeously rich treat for the lips.
