Mineral Makeup

Mineral Makeup is more than just a new beauty trend—it claims health benefits for skin as well. Mineral makeup is comprised of minerals, which are pulverized and sterilized into fine powder form. The makeup is made using zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and 100%-micronized minerals, which are free from chemicals that cause inflammation and irritation to the skin. In addition, it contains pure iron, which absorbs heat.

All the ingredients used are free from artificial fragrance, chemicals, silicones, talc, mica, oils, dye, fillers, rice powders, alcohol, and wax. The reasons for its popularity are that the makeup improves the skin’s health and does not contain coarse components. Mineral or pure makeup provides a “clean” feeling to the skin. In addition, it gives a youthful glow along with a natural look. This makeup is ideal for various types of skin including hypersensitive, oily, and dry skin. Pure makeup helps in covering wrinkles, broken capillaries, red spots, acne scars, fine lines, and reflects sunlight.

It is an ideal makeup because it can be used even after laser surgery, microdermabrasion, and chemical peel and thus is free from any types of skin allergies.

As the mineral makeup uses inorganic components, it does not lead to any infection or skin disorder. The life of mineral makeup is longer than chemical-based, because it needs no preservatives. Finally, mineral makeup includes a wide spectrum of UVB and UVA sun protection. The Bukachevsky Center carries several lines of mineral makeup.
