Key Ingredients

Carbonates

Encompassing Magnesium Carbonate (used in antacids) and Calcium Carbonate (the main component of chalk), these naturally occurring minerals are useful in cosmetics for their mattifying and oil-absorbing properties, and for offering a smooth, safe and inert binding agent for the pigments and oxides in mineral powder formulas.

Iron Oxides

Derived from natural minerals found in the earth, these are used to create skin colour in cosmetics, providing the even flawless coverage desired from foundations and concealers. Red, Yellow and Black Oxides are mixed in exact quantities to reflect the full spectrum of natural skin tones. They also offer a slight UV-protective effect.

Emollients

Emollients is an umbrella term for substances that help soothe, soften, and reduce moisture loss in the skin. They are used to prevent or treat dry skin, protect the skin against irritation and as a texture enhancer. The term covers a host of esters that are largely derived from mineral (paraffin) or vegetable (palm oil, coconut oil) sources.

Corn Starch

Derived from the corn kernel's endosperm, Zea Mays gives skin a fresh, dry feeling and soothes irritation. In makeup, it provides sheer coverage, a velvety feel, and hides flaws while allowing the skin to breathe. Containing many natural vitamins and minerals, its anti-inflammatory properties offer smoothing and clarifying benefits.
