Mineral cosmetics are the most beautifying, healthful cosmetics
available today. Mineral cosmetics are created from rock-forming
minerals, clays and metal ores that have been extracted from the Earth's
surface, purified and refined to meet FDA standards for use in cosmetics
and finally crushed into fine loose powders.
Most traditional makeup products contain these same
minerals, but may also be laden with mineral oil (and other
petrochemicals), fillers, binders, synthetics and chemical dyes. Many of
these additional ingredients do not necessarily enhance the actual
performance of the products in which they are used and may, in fact, be
unhealthful for the skin and body.

of chemical additives and good for your skin, they are versatile,
weightless to wear and naturally beautifying to women of all ages and
