Rather than being oil or petroleum-based, true mineral makeup is made of earthen
minerals, milled to a very fine powder. Why is mineral makeup better than traditional
makeup?
Mineral cosmetics reflect light - like millions of tiny diamond mirrors - to hide
fine lines and discolourations. Unlike traditional cosmetics, which coat the skin
with a layer of film, mineral makeup allows your skin to breathe and function naturally.
In fact, Youngblood was originally developed for use in a medical setting, to help
patients' skin breathe and heal after harsh surgical procedures.
Some mineral make-up brands aren’t totally pure and are thus misleading. Youngblood
is 100% mineral based and therefore free from chemicals and synthetic ingredients
such as alcohol, artificial fragrance, mineral oil, talc, or petroleum.
High quality mineral makeup should not clog pores, and should feel like you have
no makeup on at all. It should contain no synthetic or irritating ingredients, such
as alcohol, artificial fragrance, mineral oil, talc, or petroleum.
