Why Do You Use Cosmetic Fillers When Other Companies Do Not?

Answer: All of our ingredients we use in our mineral cosmetics are 100% pure and healthy, yet provide additional soothing benefits to the skin. We don’t believe in a one size fits all mentality when it comes to our mineral makeup. Other basic formulas offered, though considered safe for most, will not allow women with different skin types or with problematic skin to enjoy or even come to understand the many skin healthy benefits of wearing mineral cosmetics.

The word “filler” is sales hype and this term is used by so called cosmetic experts, those that repackage and competitors to attack products they either don’t approve of, are in direct competition with, or simply don’t have a working knowledge of the true definition. The phrase “filler ingredient” seems to imply that a cosmetic company includes certain ingredients within a formulation that are not necessary or don’t create a purpose for making a product perform better.

Why Can’t I Use Foundation To Change My Skin Tone?

Answer: No matter what your skin tone, always purchase a shade that closely matches your own natural undertones.  Many women have been advised by the commercial makeup industry for years to use another shade to change their natural color in order to correct it or any flaws associated with it, with the idea they are making themselves appear more beautiful.

Olive skin in particular has been pushed toward using shades with more reddish orange supposedly to change the sallow or ashen appearance and the fact that olive shades are pretty much non existent in commercial brands of makeup, or pink shades should be used to tone down yellow skin.

This is just going to make skin look odd and not natural!

Can I Use Your Mineral Makeup After A Chemical Peel?

Answer:  Our mineral makeup can be used right after a microdermabrasion or a light chemical peel.  Mineral powders will provide a barrier on skin against outside elements after getting one of these procedures done.  They will help to cover the redness, and through the use of Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, skin will be soothed and protected, allowing erythema to improve, and the addition of Allantoin also assists with inflamed skin.  Rice powder will cool and further soothe skin, and Jojoba, which balances the pH of skin, combined with skin conditioning Methicone, both will provide a barrier against trans-epidermal moisture loss.

Do You Offer Mineral Makeup Kits?

Answer:  We have considered the idea of incorporating mineral makeup kits into our shopping cart for convenience, and finally decided to move forward and give our customers what they need and want.

Main points for deciding for including mineral makeup kits:  As a rule, kits are usually predetermined colors with limited choices.  What we learned from women in most cases, they believed they would end up with product they can’t use or won’t use based on how those colors worked out on their skin, or based on past experience with using kits.  So we have created a diverse customized selection for our ladies so no more being stuck with product you can’t use!
