The Minerals

 

MICRONIZED TITANIUM DIOXIDE 12% ~ This is a natural mineral mined from quarries & refined to form a fluffy white powder. It is used in cosmetics as a whitening agent, and is mainly used as a sunscreen because it has a large capacity to block UVA/UVB light. It is the No.1 choice for the most effective sunscreen.

MICRONIZED ZINC OXIDE 6% ~ This is a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient. It is used to calm & soothe the skin. It also helps protect from the sun.

IRON OXIDES ~Iron Oxides are natural salts, oxidized to remove impurities. This produces beautiful earth tones for natural mineral make-up. There are three different colour groups: yellow, red & black iron oxide. They are very fine powders with a slightly unique odour.

SILK ~ Silk Amino Acids Protein Powder. Cosmetic Silk powder is a natural moisturiser. Silk powder retains moisture and entraps oil, provides relief from sunburn, windburn & household burns. It is an ancient aid to drying skin.
100% silk.

MICA ~ Mica is a naturally occurring mineral mined from the Earth’s crust, purified & crushed into fine powder. It shines and glitters like a prism & is used
to create shimmer and shine. We see different colours through the light
interference of the mica base and the thin film of the titanium dioxide coating the base. Changing the thickness of the Titanium Dioxide film can create different colours.

SILICA ~ Silica is found in rocks and is a natural way to colour & protect.

ULTRAMARINE ~ This comes from Lapis Lazuli which is a complex rock mixture containing the mineral lazurite. Blue, pink and violet are typical colours derived from Ultramarine.

BORON NITRIDE ~ This ingredient has anti-bacterial properties. It is also oil absorbing, glides on smoothly & offers great make-up adherence.

VITAMIN E ~ Is an antioxidant that acts to protect skin cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of energy metabolism.
