Mineral makeup first made its appearance into the beauty world back in the 1970s and has since become a clear choice for beauty addicts, especially those who are looking for a cleaner, greener makeup bag. Mineral makeup very often does not contain harmful or unnecessary additives, and this is why so many brands are releasing their mineral makeup ranges.
It's no wonder it is now so readily available; these are just some of the benefits of you and your skin that come with using mineral makeup:
NEW Inika Baked Mineral Foundation
What are the key ingredients in your new Certified Organic BB Cream Foundation?
This 3-in-1 Beauty Balm is a serious multi-tasker - a silky primer, moisturiser and foundation - all in one product. Stand out ingredients include Prickly Pear, Pomegranate, Avocado and Jojoba Oils to moisturise and hydrate skin while providing coverage and contains natural antioxidants, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals to keep skin looking luminous and healthy. The easily blendable texture melts into skin and is suitable for all skin types. Hypoallergenic & Dermatologist tested.
The Inika range now includes 'Baked' Mineral Powders, how are these baked?
All INIKA Baked Mineral products are baked in Tuscany, Italy on terracotta tiles to create perfectly smooth spheres of colour that blend seamlessly onto the skin. Our baked mineral compacts deliver the healthiness of mineral make-up with the performance of a pressed powder, without the harmful chemicals.
Does the formulation differ from the loose mineral powders to the baked versions?
Yes, the formula of the Baked powders is slightly different from Loose mineral powder. To assist with shade selection for our INIKA fans, we have matched our Baked Mineral Foundation shades to the Loose Mineral Foundation shades we all know and love.
All the benefits of mineral powders, without the loose powder mess - NEW Pressed Mineral Eye Shadow Duo
Inika has re-formulated some of the current products, how have the following items changed?
- It's kind to your skin - usually always free from irritants and chemicals, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
- It's non-comedogenic, which means it does not block your pores and allows the skin to 'breathe'.
- It has anti-inflammatory properties.
- It can offer protection from the sun - mineral powders contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxides which are both found in sunscreen. Although they do provide a level of protection, it is not advisable to rely on this alone, always use sunscreen and mineral powders as a bonus for your skin.
- Mineral powders stay put! You won't find them running off your skin in the heat, or water and are completely smudge-free.
