Fresh Minerals
Ingredients
Micronized Titanium Dioxide 12%
A natural mineral mined from quarries and refined to form a fluffy, white powder. Used in cosmetics as a whitening agent, it is the number one choice for sunscreens thanks to its strong capacity to block UVA/UVB light.
Micronized Zinc Ozide 6%
A natural anti-inflammatory ingredient used to calm and soothe the skin. It also provides protection from the sun.
Iron Oxides
Natural salts that are oxidized to remove impurities and produce the beautiful earth tones of natural mineral make-up.
Silk Amino Acids Protein Powder
Cosmetic silk powder is 100% silk and is a natural moisturiser. It retains moisture and entraps oil, providing relief from sunburn, windburn and household burns.
Mica
A naturally occurring mineral, mined from the earth's crust, purified and crushed into a fine powder. Mica glitters like a prism and is used to create shimmer and shine. We see different colours through the light interference of the mica base and the thin film of titanium dioxide coating the base. Changing the thickness of the titanium dioxide film creates different colours.
Silica
Silica is found in rocks and is a natural means of colouring and protecting the skin.
Ultramarine
This comes from lapis lazuli, which is a complex rock mixture containing the mineral lazurite. Blue, pink and violet are typical colours derived from ultramarine.
Boron Nitride
This ingredient has anti-bacterial properties. It is also oil absorbing, glides on smoothly and offers great make-up adherence.
Vitamin E
An antioxidant that protects skin cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of energy metabolism.
A natural future for cosmetics
One of the main differences between mineral cosmetics and traditional make-up is the lack of fillers. 70-90% of the ingredients in traditional make-up tend to be fillers such as talcum powder, cornstarch and nylon, among others.
A pure mineral powder gives coverage like no other cosmetic foundation. It feels weightless, so you don't feel like you're wearing make-up at all and they won’t block your pores. Best of all, freshMinerals cosmetics are so hard wearing and long lasting you won’t need to retouch during the day. freshMinerals are also light reflective and so will diminish scars and wrinkles, having an anti-ageing effect and helping you to look young and fresh faced.
Mineral make-up allows the skin to breath and function normally; it is non-comedogenic and carries minimal risk of sensitivities. Plus, it's anti-inflammatory, hypoallergenic and anti-microbial making it a real boon for acne and rosacea sufferers. It is also recommended by some of the highest qualified plastic surgeons and dermatologists in the world.
freshMinerals cosmetics provide great skin camouflage for salon aftercare, especially for treatments such as peels, microdermabrasions, waxing, fillers and permanent make-up, as they give a full, but natural, coverage. The pigment particles bind to clean, moisturised skin, so the powder doesn't slide off. Some consumers say they can even swim in it and so it won't come off with perspiration either. And, because the powders offer SPF20 natural sun protection, so there's no need to wear an SPF moisturiser too.
