Mineral Makeup Buying Guide

The previous post talked about what to look for in a mineral makeup. This one focuses more on what not to look for. Here are 5 "don't do's" for choosing a mineral makeup, though some of the points may be redundant, this may be easier for some in helping to choose the right brand.

AVOID
1) bismuth oxychloride- cheap filler & causes some people itching & breakouts
2) nano-particles- particles small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier. Can't be good.
3) products with too many ingredients
4) talc- can be an irritant, & again, just a cheap filler
5) remember, FDC & red lake colors contain, usually, tar. Avoid these. Tar is not a mineral...
