What exactly is mineral makeup?

“Mineralsmink är naturligt och bra för huden” det är ungefär så kortfattat jag har analyserat detta med mineralsmink.

But since I got into the brand nudh mineral a little more, I have become interested in what is really meant by mineral makeup, and all the strange words that are in the table of contents.

Frågan om man kan vara allergisk mot mineralsmink får oftast svaret “det är som att vara allergisk mot sten”. Svårt att förstå, innan jag själv höll dessa i handen:

So this is what our mineral makeup is made of!

I studied the table of contents of the nudh mineral products, and the most common ingredients are Mica, Iron Oxide, Titanium Dioxide and Zindoxide. Some products contain only these 4 substances, and some only two of them and nothing else. So I checked them out on google!

Copied info that I invented this side:

“Mica is a mica mineral extracted from rocks such as granite, mica shale and gneiss. Mica is an aqueous silicate mineral, which occurs in packs of thin flat highly shiny and light-reflecting leaves. To be used in cosmetics, the mica is finely purified and powdered. Mica is available in all conceivable colors and degrees of luster.

Micropigment, som titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, excellent for people with allergy-prone skin. The advantage of micropigment is its excellent compatibility with the skin. Because they adhere easily to the skin, the sun's rays are reflected directly on the surface of the skin and do not penetrate the skin.

The most common the iron oxides used are yellow, red, brown and black. They are mainly used in surfaces but also to darken a formula that has become too light or in lip color. All iron oxides used are approved for coloring cosmetics. "

It sounds great anyway!

Other exciting ingredients in just nudh mineral are cornmeal, castor oil, soy wax and beeswax. Castor oil has been suggested by many when I lost my lashes, and it is available in nudh minerals mascara!

One substance to look out for in mineral makeup is bismuth oxide chloride, also called bismuth. The substance itself is not dangerous, but is chemically similar to arsenic which can cause redness and itching.

Nudh mineral is completely free of talc, oil, bismuth, preservatives and perfume.

Have you learned anything new? :)
