Pure mineral makeup sits gently on top of skin rather than sinking into pores, making it a natural choice for sensitive, reactive or post-procedure skin. The minerals themselves (typically iron oxides, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) carry their own gentle benefits. Zinc and titanium offer a natural light sun protection effect. The lack of fragrance, parabens, talc and synthetic dyes makes the formulas tolerable for skin that struggles with conventional makeup.
Mineral foundation works beautifully for everyday wear and builds for fuller coverage when needed. Apply with a kabuki or fluffy powder brush, swirling the brush gently into the powder, tapping off excess and pressing into the skin in soft circular motions. Layer over a primer for longer wear, or straight onto bare moisturised skin for the most natural finish.
FAQs
What does 100% natural mineral makeup mean?
Our pure mineral makeup is formulated using only natural mineral pigments and a small number of carefully chosen, skin-loving ingredients. There are no fragrance, parabens, talc, synthetic dyes or unnecessary fillers. The minerals themselves provide colour, gentle coverage and a soft natural finish.
Is mineral makeup good for sensitive or reactive skin?
Yes, often exceptionally well. The minimal ingredient list and absence of common irritants makes mineral makeup a popular choice for skin that reacts to conventional cosmetics. It's also widely recommended after procedures such as laser, peels and microneedling, though always check with your skin therapist first.
Does mineral foundation give enough coverage?
More than people expect. Mineral powder builds beautifully, so a light initial layer for everyday wear can be deepened to medium or fuller coverage where you need it. The finish is naturally smooth and skin-like rather than heavy, even at fuller coverage levels.
How do I apply mineral powder for the best finish?
Use a kabuki or fluffy powder brush. Swirl the brush gently into the lid of the jar, tap off the excess, then press and swirl onto the skin in soft circular motions. Build slowly. Avoid wiping the brush across skin, which can move product rather than depositing it evenly.
Does mineral makeup offer sun protection?
The zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in mineral powders offer some natural physical sun protection, but this should not replace a dedicated broad-spectrum sunscreen for high-UV days or extended time outdoors. Think of it as a useful additional layer on top of your morning sunscreen, not a substitute.
