Our Gentle Ingredients

Elemental Beauty mineral makeup is anti microbial and anti inflammatory. These two properties are ideal for soothing skin conditions such as rosacea and acne, and this makeup allows all women to feel beautiful without the worry of their skin condition worsening. Due to the light reflective minerals and ingredients in the makeup, fine lines appear minimised and you are left with healthy looking, radiant skin.

Our mineral makeup contains ingredients that act as a natural sunscreen. This can help protect against harmful UV rays. It is of course still important to wear an SFP-containing cream when exposed to daylight. It is therefore an excellent option to apply the make-up over a layer of sunscreen, for further protection of the face.

 

Here is a bit more information about our carefully chosen, chemist approved, natural ingredients:

Zinc Oxide has wonderful healing properties and is anti-septic, anti-microbial, and fungicidal, so it can act as a treatment for sensitive or inflamed and blemish prone skin.
