subject: Tips In Choosing A Mineral Make Up Brand That Is Right For You [print this page] Much like its predecessor, the chemically based cosmetics, mineral make up can also confuse you due to the many various brands available in the market today. Although all of these brands claimed to be 100% natural, but you have to be a very discerning consumer to weed out the true claims from the otherwise. Not all mineral make up brands are truly effective in providing natural benefits for your skin, for some can also give your skin the irritation and negative effects like chemical make up do. Therefore, learn to read the label before purchasing one just because of its empty promises.
-Consider the number of ingredients the brand has in their mineral make up. The lesser the better, because it would mean lesser damage or harm for your skin. Usually, other mineral make up brands boast of their all-natural ingredients but they have at least 6-7 kinds crowding in one cosmetic. Choose a brand that can provide the lowest number of ingredients to ensure that your brand is indeed the safest of all.
-Stay away from Bismuth Oxychloride, an ingredient commonly found in some mineral make up brands. Bismuth is without refinement is not safe for use in cosmetics. To make it safe it must be refined and combined with other elements to produce bismuth oxychloride. Certainly not "Natural" as most companies claim. In fact; consumers that uses mineral make up with Bismuth Oxychloride complains of irritation in their skin. So if you want only the natural to ever touch your skin, and then choose a mineral make up that does not contain Bismuth Oxychloride.
-Choose the brand that majority of women trust. You can actually gauge the brand's efficiency when not just a celebrity endorses it, but perhaps by a friend you know so well.
Not because they claim to be natural and effective does not mean you will not do your part as a consumer. That is why; before purchasing your first mineral make up, learn to read the labels to avoid the shams and use only the brand that is truly effective.
