Any mineral makeup powder containing zinc oxide and/ or titanium dioxide offers natural protection from the sun.  Many natural sunscreen brands use these exact minerals in their lotion formulations!  However, as per FDA regulations, extensive (and expensive) testing must be done for any product claiming to have a specific level of SPF.  Therefore, we recommend you use your own SPF product that you feel comfortable with before applying minerals if you want to be assured of your level of sun protection.

Our mineral makeup will keep your skin hydrated and moist.  The natural minerals bind with the oils on your skin and create a barrier that keeps your skin from drying out.  Once again, you need to watch out for other mineral makeup brands that use fillers like talc, or an oil-absorbing agent like kaolin clay.  These are ingredients that will dry out skin.  Unless you have very oily skin, we recommend staying with a pure mineral makeup without the addition of clays or fillers.  If you do find your skin gets shiny during the day, using an oil blotting paper will restore your makeup to a fresh just-applied look.

Due to the light reflective nature of minerals, the overall appearance will be beautiful and glowing for any kind of skin type.  Should you find that some products settle into creases, stay away from the products with the most sparkle, and choose minerals with matte and silk textures.  These minerals will blend best over fine lines and hide small imperfections.  We also recommend spritzing your makeup with a natural makeup setting spray to help create a dewy and blended look.

Unless otherwise noted, all our mineral eyeshadow colors can be safely worn on cheeks and lips.  Our mineral makeup has amazing versatility and works beautifully as a blush, bronzer, highlighter or touch of color on your lips.

Yes, we do not add any known xenoestrogenic or phytoestrogenic ingredients to our mineral makeup.  Xeno/ phyto-estrogens are any ingredient that may act like an estrogen in your body, causing hormone disruption.  At Innomineral, we believe that what you put on your skin should be safe for you, and we strive to keep our products pure and simple for even the most sensitive people.  Please beware of other natural/ mineral makeup companies that use many additional ingredients and essential oils in their formulations.  These ingredients, though natural, may actually aggravate and cause hormonal imbalances in your body.  Please follow this link for more information on hormonal balance.
