Product FAQ's
What is loose mineral cosmetics?
Essentially, loose mineral cosmetics, also called bare mineral makeup, is comprised of
naturally occurring minerals that have been used for cosmetic purposes for thousands of
years. ( Cleopatra used crushed mica as her body shimmer )These minerals are mined
from around the world, purified, and crushed into fine powders. If this all sounds exotic,
cosmetic companies use these same minerals to add color, texture and luster to
everything from eyeshadow,and lipstick, to hair color. They're even in your tube of
toothpaste! Many of these minerals have a special luster that, when applied to the skin,
give the face a beautiful glow, lending a healthy, youthful appearance to blemished or
aged skin.
Why loose?
Loose mineral cosmetics are catching on in popularity for a very good reason. It is the
most natural makeup available on the market. Just think about how your face feels when
you apply a liquid foundation. In order to create a liquid foundation, manufacturers add
water, oil, waxes, petrochemicals, synthetic humectants, gums, and fillers (like talc) to the
mineral colorants. They also add dyes and preservatives. Our loose, dry minerals don't
require preservatives, and all of those other irritating ingredients are completely
unnecessary. The natural pigments blend easily on the skin and provide superior
coverage due to the lack of cheap fillers.
Why don't the popular makeup lines sell mineral cosmetics?
Large cosmetics companies are corporations that are designed to generate profit. Your
skin's health is not their concern. Natural minerals cost much more than cheap synthetic
fillers and dyes. The bottom line of these corporations is profit. Ours is quality, purity, and
performance. Our vision is to provide natural cosmetic products that will enable women to
achieve the look that they want without chemicals.
Will my skin break out?
If you have sensitive skin, and have had bad experiences with cosmetics in the past, then
natural mineral makeup is for you! While even a good quality natural cosmetic does
not carry a guarantee, the likelihood of a reaction is rare. The most irritating ingredients
in cosmetics are talc, dye, and perfume. Our products are free of all of these ingredients.
What about a sunscreen?
One of the main ingredients in our loose mineral foundation is micronized Titanium
Dioxide. This naturally occurring mineral effectively blocks both UVA and UVB rays,
without an irritating chemical sunscreen. Our products have a very high SPF and we
recommend wearing a sunscreen of some form on your face every day. Melanoma is on
the rise and can be fatal. Also, if you notice tiny lines on your face, these symptoms of
aging come primarily from sun-damage, not from dryness.
Can I use Mineral Rites natural cosmetics if I have acne?
Our mineral foundation has the best coverage of any cosmetic on the market. Using
Mineral Rites mineral foundation will transform your life. Instead of worrying about
unattractive blemishes, or running to the mirror every few hours to do touch-ups, with just
a quick brush of the powder, your face will appear completely unblemished, from morning
until night.
Even more importantly, the health and condition of your skin will actually improve with
regular use of our mineral foundation. The minerals not only soothe inflamed skin, but
have superior oil control. Our foundation is virtually waterproof and wear-proof.
Can Mineral Rites mineral cosmetics match my skin tone?
Mineral Rites specializes in producing natural- looking foundation shades, because
all of our formulations are created on real women. We also offer custom foundation
blends for those skin tones that our stock shades don't quite match. Because our primary
retail locations are centered in ethnically diverse areas, and because we are constantly
working hands-on with women of all complexions, our line complements the many
different undertones that our customers represent.
Are Mineral Rites mineral cometics affordable?
Compare the cost of one of our multi-purpose powders to even a cheap eyeshadow, and
the value will immediately be apparent. Our loose mineral powders can be used as
eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipgloss, blush and nail polish. If you use them every day, they will
last you at least a year. Just one eyeshadow at a department store costs three times
more than a Mineral Rites mineral powder. Our mineral foundation lasts up to six
months and acts as concealer, powder, and sunscreen, all in one. Compare our cost to
similar makeup lines and you will notice a savings of almost 50%!!
