Orchid Mineral Makeup Ingredients:
Titanium Dioxide – derived from
naturally occurring minerals such as rutile and limonite; offers the most
complete coverage and tinting of any white pigment.
Titanium Dioxide is an effective ingredient for sun protection.
Iron Oxides – iron combined with oxygen creates iron oxides and can
be found in nature; intense pigment
(a little goes a long way).
Serecite – Colourless mica; used alone or as an ingredient in setting
powder; can also be used as a primer beneath foundation powders to aid in
oil control;
translucent (adds no colour); silky to the touch; reflects light, reducing
the appearance of pores and wrinkles.
Kaolin Clay – completely natural; added to products for oil control
and for those needing additional coverage; used to aid adhesion of mineral
powders
to skin.
Ultramarine Blue – a vivid blue pigment made from finely crushing the mineral lapis lazuli.
Zinc Oxide – a naturally occurring mineral found in limestone and dolomites;
anti–inflammatory; may encourage healing of skin conditions; often used
in
ointments because of its antiseptic / anti–microbial properties.
Mica – in nature, mica is found in thin crystallized sheets that are
easily separated; can be dull (adding no additional shine) or shiny (for a
healthy, luminous glow);
adds lovely gliding properties to powders; light–reflective, helping
to obscure fine lines and wrinkles.
