Jordan Team Elite II Low Considering Mineral Makeu

Unfortunately cosmetic manufacturers can claim their mineral makeup to be pure and/or natural, but that may not always be the case. There is no regulation for what constitutes a mineral makeup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which means any product containing minerals as a primary ingredient can be marketed as such, even if it contains a whole lot of other less natural ingredients.
Mineral makeup also claims to provide sun protection with an average SPF rating of 15, however most experts agree that it is not enough sun protection and a sunscreen should still be applied for extra assurance against harmful UV rays.
If considering a mineral makeup be sure to read the ingredient label, the ingredients at the top of the list are the most predominant. Also, as with any
So based on the above information, mineral makeup seems to be the best choice to create a beautiful complexion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but is it?
Another ingredient to be wary of is bismuth oxycholoride, this ingredient gives the mineral makeup a candlelight glow. Bismuth oxycholoride is a byproduct of lead and copper processing. Although lead and copper are minerals the byproduct through processing is not found in the earth. This mineral is used as a fill product which is not found in the earth naturally. Bismuth oxycholoride is a skin irritant and can cause itching and rashes and in large amounts can cause cystic acne. If you suffer from any skin irritation such as acne or rosacea or have sensitive skin, avoid any cosmetic that lists bismuth oxycholoride. However, some mineral makeup may contain just a small amount and may not cause a skin reaction, but you will never know until you try it. Again mineral makeup can be labeled pure and/or natural and contain the skin irritant bismuth oxycholoride.
Another advantage of mineral makeup is it long lasting wear and easy application.
Not all mineral makeup is created the same, they generally fall into two categories - those that stay true to the origin of mineral makeup without the extra ingredients and those that add the synthetic fillers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fragrances and preservatives (such as parabens) just to name a few.
The main ingredients in mineral makeup are mica, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide. Ironically though these ingredients have been in cosmetics for years so what is the difference in today's mineral makeup? The mineral makeup advertised today is (or supposed to be) free of fragrances, binders, synthetic dyes and preservatives thus they are considered to be purer and gentler to the skin than traditional cosmetics. Additionally, the titanium and zinc oxide in mineral makeup have anti-inflammatory properties which is useful for those suffering with problem skin such as acne or rosacea. Additionally, mineral makeup will not clog pores as it is non-comedongenic. True mineral makeup is also great for those that have sensitve skin as it is free of synthetic chemicals and perservatives, which are usually the cause of skin dermatis and rashes.
Mineral makeup seems to be the latest craze in the cosmetic industry. But what exactly is mineral makeup and what makes it so much better. I have read various articles on the pros and cons of mineral makeup; additionally I have found that there are those people that love it for its smooth texture and those that do not for various reasons.
Another factor that makes mineral makeup so popular is its long lasting wear, smooth finish and natural look. In order to make mineral makeup smooth manufacturers pulverize the minerals into microscopic or even nanoparticle size. Research studies have shown that that molecules that are dramatically reduced in size to a level of a nanoparticle will change the properties of that molecule leaving the nanoparticle with toxic properties. There is also concern about the health effects of inhalation of these nanoparticles. Zinc and titanium are safe when applied to healthy skin but in a micronized nanoparticle form; there remains a concern, particularly when applied to damaged skin, or when inhaled according to the Environmental Working Group.
