Do you know what your mineral makeup contains? Just as its name implies, it contains particles derived from natural earth minerals that are finely milled. There are three main mineral makeup ingredients and here they are.
Titanium Dioxide
Also known as “titanium white”, titanium dioxide is one of the whitest minerals of the Earth. For that reason, it is usually incorporated in cosmetic products to help conceal and protect the skin. Titanium Dioxide is used to conceal the fine lines of the face ,giving it a matte finish. It is commonly used in loose and pressed powders and foundations. It also gives the advantage of protection from the harsh rays of the sun acting like a sun block. Your mineral makeup yields these benefits as long as it has titanium dioxide in it.

Zinc Oxide
Did you know that mineral makeup is water proof? Zinc oxide is the mineral that makes your makeup stay on your face even if it gets wet with sweat or tears. Like Titanium Dioxide it also acts as a sunscreen. But above all, zinc oxide has healing properties and is commonly present in skin-protectant products such in diaper ointments. Aside from that, it is also used in the manufacture of lotions, nail polishes, foot powders and soaps. In cosmetics, it is used as a colorant and as a bulking agent.
Mica
You will love mica for mineral makeup as it reflects light and gives your face a radiant glow. Mica is a transparent mineral from thin sheets of rock-like structures from the earth. Originally it exhibits an opalescent sparkle to a matte effect of blue, green and grey shades. It is finely ground into powder and used as a foundation base to give users the desired sheen. When shopping for mineral makeup, check out the amount of mica present in its formulation. Its percentage will give you an idea of how matte or a shimmery the effect will be.
Basically, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and mica are used in the manufacture of mineral makeup. Other companies also add other natural ingredients and minerals to their products such as boron nitride, silica, kaolin clay and rice powder that are known to have other unique benefits.
