The best mineral makeup products for sensitive skin
Known and loved for their breathable, lightweight feel and natural-looking finish on the skin, mineral makeup has become a staple in many beauty routines.
Perfect for those who love a no-makeup makeup look, mineral makeup pigments are finely milled to leave a touch of colour on your skin and naturally perk up and perfect your complexion.
What is mineral makeup?
Often in both pressed and loose forms, mineral makeup is made up of minerals such as Zinc, Mica and Titanium Oxide which are finely-milled into silky consistency and blended with colour pigments. Packed with natural ingredients, mineral formulas are often good to the skin and perfect for those who struggle with imperfections and breakouts but also those with very sensitive skin.
Common nasties such as synthetic fragrances, waxes, preservatives and bulking agents won't be found in mineral makeup formulas so you can be sure that each product you apply is not going to irritate your skin or block your pores.
