What is mineral makeup?
Jane Iredale’s mineral makeup.
The quality, quantity, particle size and type differ from band to band, but a good mineral powder should comprise a combination of any of the following ingredients: Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Iron Oxides, Mica or Boron Nitride.
In a true mineral powder formulation, bulking agents such as Talcum, Nylon and Starch such as corn and rice, should not appear. Apart from additions such antioxidants and botanicals, Jane Iredale’s powders (loose and pressed) are pure mineral pigment which is what provides such versatile coverage, sun protection and benefits for the skin. This concentrated pigment also gives the mineral powder superior adherence so that it rarely transfers or needs touching up. All of Jane Iredale’s makeup goes through sensitivity testing on 50 human subjects and all their sunscreen products and those products containing citrus extracts also undergo phototoxicity testing. This ensures that there is minimal allergy risk. Special care is taken to use natural preservatives and to avoid using synthetic preservatives such as parabens.
