Mineral cosmetics have come to the fore in the cosmetics world in recent years. But why? What makes mineral cosmetics so special and why should you consider adding them to your daily beauty routine?
what is mineral cosmetics?
Mineral cosmetics, as the name suggests, are mainly composed of natural minerals that have been crushed into a fine powder.
Unlike traditional cosmetics, mineral cosmetics do not contain synthetic additives that can irritate the skin.
Mineral cosmetics are cosmetics that combine beauty and skin care.
Specificities of mineral cosmetics:
- Natural formulation: mineral cosmetics are free from parabens, artificial colours and fragrances, making them an ideal choice for sensitive and allergic skin.
- Sun protection: mineral cosmetics usually contain titanium dioxide, which provides natural sun protection.
- Does not accumulate in the pores: mineral cosmetics stay on the skin longer, giving a natural and flawless finish.
In addition, it maintains the skin’s youthfulness and does not accumulate in wrinkles.
In contrast, decorative cosmetics accumulate more between wrinkles and folds, making your skin look older. - Does not clog your pores: conventional cosmetics may also contain mineral ingredients, but they usually also contain synthetic dyes, talc, oils and fragrances, alcohol, which clog your pores, dry out your skin and can cause allergic reactions.
With mineral cosmetics, the allergy risk is minimised. - Longer shelf life: since mineral cosmetics do not contain water and substances that increase bacterial growth, this makes mineral cosmetics last longer.
Typically, mineral cosmetics have a shelf life of 2 years, while conventional cosmetics have a shelf life of 6-12 months. - Waterproof: ordinary cosmetics are not normally waterproof (except waterproof products), mineral cosmetics are waterproof (except mascaras).
- Against skin problems: the composition of the minerals helps to combat various skin problems such as acne, rosacea, couperose.
Conventional cosmetics, on the other hand, can exacerbate these problems.
NOT used in mineral cosmetics:
- Mineral oils (synthetic oils e.g. kerosene).
- Talki.
- Synthetic colourings and preservatives, nor other ingredients that are useless or harmful to the skin.
- Fragrances.
