These natural cosmetics, as the name suggests are mineral based,
but the best thing about them is that they are inorganic and inert. This
in common parlance means that they rarely cause allergic reactions. This
in short is tremendous news for women who regularly use cosmetics.
Mineral cosmetics contain no preservatives, no oils or waxes, which
could affect the skin. Sounds too good to be true, but sometimes truth
is stranger than even fiction. This is however is only the beginning of
the good part.
Makeup using natural mineral cosmetics imparts a divine glow that is almost
youthful. The skin is allowed to breathe and the minerals present help
in balancing secretion of the sebaceous glands. Furthermore, they afford
protection from the harsh glare of the sun and the ever-increasing
pollutants in the environment. It is definitely a woman’s best friend.
Even the effects of the torrid Indian
climate seem to be latent when mineral cosmetics are used. Sensitive as
the skin is , the range of cosmetics available under the guise of being
mineral afford protection, sooth the skin and augur a lasting solution.
The array of cosmetics available has to be seen to be believed. Spa,
salon make- up artists and especially aestheticians are awed at the
products in the market. So many of them are there that it is possible to
cater to an individual’s needs taking into account his lifestyle and the
existing climatic conditions. Texture, color, and coverage everything is
now possible. Traditional cosmetic lines are now more affordable and
accessible. Whether it is an eyebrow pencil, or a lipstick, a concealer
or a mascara,, a focused approach is now possible. The recent light
reflective gels, which can be used as moisturizers and foundations, have
triggered a new beginning in this mini world of macro cosmetics.
The latest range of products includes even the much hyped Vitamins A and
E in a frozen form, which is incorporated into the mineral formulation.
Once applied on the skin, these vitamins liquefy and produce a satiny
finish. This ensures that the antioxidants are treated. So the words “
mineral Cosmetics” now included within their purview “ the aspect of
treatment cosmetics”. Used in the formulation of vitaminized
foundations, blushes, shadows and lipsticks, they are even available in
refillable kits. Makeup artists have their work really cut out for them,
for mineral foundations do not change color either under natural light
or artificial light.
Mineral cosmetics are riding on a wave which is growing higher and
higher. The future of technology is infinite and promises a complete
turnaround in skin care treatment. Opaque formulations for paramedical
applications, formulations for camouflaging scars, options galore for
shimmering and sheer appearances, formulations not only for women but
also for men - its versatility is absolutely unique. The emphasis on
clients and more importantly climate is good news for the Indian market
and anyone who is embarking on a tropical vacation.
So, if you want to naturally look and feel young, reach out for that
mineral jar. It is good for skin, which is sensitive, has
anti-inflammatory properties, contains no harmful ingredients and best
of all once applied, the make up lasts quite a while.
With adherent powders to emphasize the right features and cover up the
imperfections, setting powders to give that translucent look and long
lasting matte finish, with shades which flatter the skin and color it
with rich undertones, mineral cosmetics has created a mini revolution in
the world of cosmetics. In spite of the rosy picture this world creates,
like anything else, a small section could be allergic to the bismuth
compound present. However, considering the tremendous impact it has,
these are ripples created in the tremendous wave of cosmetic reform. ~
