The Aroma And Feel Of Jojoba Oil In Mineral Makeup

The Elements Of Jojoba Oil

Our Jojoba Oil is Organically Grown Cold Pressed / Unrefined and is added to our Foundation Formulas.  Due to its characteristics, it has an indefinite shelf life since it is actually a wax ester and not a vegetable oil, so it will not turn rancid and is not subject to oxidation.  Our oil is 100% pure and certified organic, and is the only oil found to have the closest affinity with the skin.

It is soothing to those with acne, rosacea, psoriasis and sebborheic dermatitis.  Women with any skin type can use Jojoba, including those with oily skin.  Jojoba is excellent for dissolving pore clogging sebum and for restoring your skins’ natural pH balance.

Does Your Mineral Makeup Cover Scars?

Answer: In most cases, “yes” our mineral powders do an excellent job at concealing scars.  As always we recommend using a lighter shade to correct the redness or neutralize the deepening of the skin pigment which accompanies scarring.

There is a small exception to complete coverage.  Scarring which may also have a severe indentation, may not cover as well, but the appearance will definitely be close to being hidden through reduction in redness and softening and blurring of the skin.

Can I Sleep In Your Mineral Makeup?

Mineral Makeup Brands Promoting As A Bonus Feature

There are many mineral makeup companies which make the claim, “so gentle and safe, you can even sleep in it.”

Though this may seem like a bonus point for making an argument for using mineral makeup products, and one could chock this up as a supposedly added benefit, when in actuality this is never recommended no matter how gentle and safe a mineral cosmetic brand claims theirs to be.

Why Doesn’t Your Mineral Makeup Have Preservatives?

Sterling Minerals is a loose mineral makeup powder and contains inert ingredients of inorganic minerals.  We then combine them with our organic botanical extracts, including cold pressed Jojoba Oil which is a natural anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant.  This is also why it is included in our foundations and Evening Rose Veil.  Jojoba will literally meld with the mineral makeup foundation and provides a nice protective barrier on the skin.  Since our mineral makeup products are comprised of dry inert powders, bacteria simply cannot grow.
