Organic cosmetic products do not necessitate the sacrifice of that perfect look.

What it does possess are loose minerals ideally suited to extended wear sessions. Mineral makeup also often contains zinc oxide in its standard form. This provides for substantial protection from UV rays helping protect your skin from premature wrinkles.

Also to be avoided are parabens, propylene glycol and aluminum hydrosulphate. Mineral makeup is also alcohol free removing a common drying source found in many over the counter cosmetic products.
