WHAT IS MINERAL POWDER MADE OF?
Mineral face powder is revolutionizing the makeup world by harnessing the benefits of earth’s natural resources. Organic ingredients—such as mica, zinc oxide, iron oxide, and titanium dioxide—are synthesized in a lab, reduced to powder, and tinted to natural tones. The resulting mineral powder makeup can either be loose or compact, depending on the level of coverage you’re looking to achieve.
We go one step further by creating mineral powder sunscreen that beautifies your complexion while shielding it from the sun. Many of the imperfections we work to conceal with foundation are in fact caused by the sun’s damaging UV rays—uneven skin tone, dark spots, wrinkles, and fine lines. By adding SPF protection to our mineral face powder, we’re able to help you minimize the appearance of sun-damaged skin while preventing more damage from occurring.
Chemical sunscreens absorb into the skin and convert UV light into heat, but many of their ingredients, such as oxybenzone, have been linked to harmful effects. Once they enter our bloodstream, they’ve been shown to disrupt our endocrine system and hormone regulation—and the damage doesn’t stop with us. Toxins contained in chemical sunscreen have shown to damage the environment through the run-off water they wind up in, which is why states like Hawaii have led the way by banning these products altogether.
Colorescience does it differently and pairs our mineral powder with non-toxic sunscreen using all-natural, mineral ingredients for a safe and effective choice for sun protection.
In addition to our mineral powder makeup, you can find our healthy sunscreen in these formulas that have been tinted to conceal the appearance of their active ingredients:
WHAT IS MINERAL POWDER FOR?
We offer many different foundations, each with their own purpose. Mineral powder makeup is best suited for light, sheer coverage to achieve a natural look that promotes your inner glow. Others might prefer a whipped foundation with a thicker formula for greater coverage and a mattifying effect.
Our mineral powder makeup is made for all skin types. Whether your complexion tends to lean to the dry side or oily end of the spectrum, you can trust that your product will improve skincare woes. It’s also designed with sensitive skin types in mind, containing the gentlest ingredients to minimize your risk of flare-ups.
WHY IS MINERAL POWDER BETTER?
Dermatologists and beauticians recommend natural and non-comedogenic mineral powder as a healthier alternative to traditional cosmetics. Conventional makeup brands often include ingredients such as preservatives, parabens, dyes, and fragrances that can irritate skin and lead to allergies, clogged pores, and breakouts.
Colorescience steers clear of harsh chemicals and irritating ingredients with an organic product that’s purer, lighter, and nourishes the skin. Our mineral-based powder is enriched with natural vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to treat your complexion from the inside while beautifying its appearance on the outside. Your skin will look and feel great—with or without makeup on.
