Mineral Based Makeup Side Effects & Health Risks

Health Concerns on Mineral Based Makeup

Mineral based makeup is popping up all over the place. It can be purchased by mail, online and at your local market.

Furthermore, it is being applied to the largest organ on the body - the skin. Although easy to apply, Diet Bites does have some concerns relating to mineral based makeup which we feel may pose risks to the respiratory system as well as other parts of the body due to the Absorption Factor. Here are the pros and cons as we see it:

All minerals are not safe to the body. For example - both lead and arsenic are elements found in certain minerals. No - we're not saying that mineral based makeup contains lead and arsenic. In fact, most consist of titanium dioxide and zinc. Talc power also tends to be a key component in mineral based makeup ingredients.

This is to say that whatever is put onto the skin is absorbed into the body. Over time, an overdose of certain vitamins and minerals could prove harmful to the body. Given such, we take a detailed look at the common ingredients found in mineral makeup below.

The next time you apply mineral makeup, grab a mirror and head into the light. Look at the fine hairs lining the nasal cavity and you'll discover a coating of mineral dust. This is only the remnants that were captured in the nasal opening as the tiny hairs were only able to capture so much of the mineral makeup. The rest of course, entered the lungs.

In turn, if you have respiratory allergies or ailments, the use of mineral makeup may aggravate and/or contribute to your condition.

Due to the tiny size of mineral makeup, it tends to be absorbed more quickly into the skin.

Common Ingredients Found in Mineral Makeup

Amorphous Hydrated Silica - May contain traces of crystalline quartz which has been linked to cancer.

Cornstarch - Check expiration date of makeup if it contains cornstarch. Cornstarch tends to be a drying agent and may cause irritated skin in some individuals.

Kaolin Clay, commonly known as China Clay  - Contributes to coverage factor adds texture and assists in reducing shine.

Magnesium Stearate - Adds coverage, texture, opacity and continues to the adhesive factor.

Mica (Sericite Mica) - Reduces may reduce the appearance of fine lines. Premium sericite mica tends to be a stable product whereas untreated sericite mica may contribute to an ashen appearance (including a variety of color shifts) a few hours after application.

Oils/Fragrances - Some may contribute to irritation and the allergy factor.

Rice Powder - Assists in absorbing skin oils to create a porcelain appearance. May not be idea for those with dry skin.

Talc - In today's world harmful trace minerals are removed yet controversy still exists concerning the safety of   long-term use of talc. Studies have linked talc to ovarian cancer as well as pulmonary issues.

Titanium Dioxide - Contributes to the 'coverage' factor and is an ingredient found in  many sunscreens as if provides protection via reflecting light. Titanium Dioxide

Silica - May reduce the appearance of fine lines and small wrinkles. Also works in absorbing oil.

Zinc Oxide - Also works in combating the effects of the sun as well as in soothing irritated skin. For individuals with acne or other skin conditions, mineral based makeup may actually assist in controlling skin issues.

If you are considering using mineral base makeup, you may wish to consider your current condition of your skin, any allergies as well as any respiratory issues in which mineral makeup might serve to aggravate rather than benefit. And of course, please discuss any issues with your physician.
