We are doing a report in our geography class on how the cosmetics industry uses minerals in makeup. Our teacher asks us: “why study geography?”

I use LA Minerals, and find it’s very good for my acne prone sensitive skin. A lot of store brands are just using iron oxide pigments, which is like 1-3% of the product, yet they claim their product is “made with pure minerals.” Sure it’s true, but deceptive! Great article, Thanks!

Try this site. Better prices, all natural Basic Mineral Powder Foundations. The Green Tea Cleanser is very nice because it nourishes the skin. It doens’t feel like any soap is used but my skin looks much cleaner, removes black and white heads and makes my skin feel soft. Try the toner and astringent if you have acne, it finishes getting all the dirt and oils off. They have a really super liquie make up with oils, it is much better I think than the mineral powders, but that is my opinion. Their mineral powders I think were better than BareMinerals, none of the bad stuff you named here appears on their labels. The Mineral Foundaiton is listed as:
titantium dioxide, zinc oxide, mica and iron oxide. But they have an EnhancedMineral Powder I have not tried as I said I prefer the liquid make up, it made my face flawless and no dryness at all but it didn’t make me break out.

I assume that the author means “dangerous hydrocarbons” here, although what comprises dangerous hydrocarbons should be specified. I would respond for the benefit of anyone reading this I really want to know is where they get the minerals, are they mined in a conscientious way?

Hey Tracy, LOVED this article! Tahnk you for sharing knowledge! Linked it at my blog since Mineral Makeup is all the rage now here in Brazil. As a biologist, I’ve been trying to inform girls here that not all mineral makeup is “natural” and they should at least look into the product info before buying it!!!
