Why Use Mineral Makeup?
So-called pure mineral makeup has been around for years but has just recently become popular due to recommendations by dermatologists because of its gentleness and superior sun protection benefits. However, until now all natural mineral-makeup lines available today are in powder form, either loose or compact powders. Loose-powder mineral makeup can be very messy to apply, and because of the absorbent nature of the minerals, loose powder mineral makeup can exacerbate any dryness in the skin and can even change color when applied over oily skin. Liquid mineral makeup by Illuminar has answered the need of many women who seek the protection of natural mineral makeup yet prefer a liquid for its nondrying, no-makeup look and easy application. The minerals we use in Illuminare liquid mineral makeup are microfine titanium dioxide and microfine zinc oxide. These are the earth’s own natural nonchemical sunscreen ingredients, which protect your skin from aging and from cancer-causing UVA and UVB
