A few 8% of women that use makeup and skin care treatments care if their makeup is natural or not, according to recent global cosmetic studies.  This means 8% or less of women around the globe use natural mineral makeup loose powder or other natural makeup products.

If consumers had the option of pressed mineral makeup brands instead of all the loose powder mineral makeup brands the poll suggested consumers would use the pressed mineral makeup instead of chemical conventional makeup.

Several mineral makeup companies offer pressed mineral makeup including Pur, Purity, Jane Iredale, Colour ID, Studio Direct, Naked, Estee Lauder, and several others.

In conclusion, it’s wise to know what each makeup ingredient is, as cosmetic ingredient names may sound chemical, but are in fact made from natural ingredients.  Several websites offer full lists of cosmetic ingredients such as the Cosmetic Database, and Wikipedia (though we all know wiki is consumer response, not fact so beware).

Yes our mineral makeup news page is a bit behind and we apologize for that, but we’re sure you all agree that our Breast Cancer Awareness Donation and Sale are more important.  It’s been a very active and busy month, and our mineral makeup blog is not up to par as it usually is.

Mineral Makeup and Makeup Research finds news in a wide variety of makeup and cosmetics companies offering incentive beauty products to buy and a part is donated. (get real, they should donating all the proceeds of that items, not just part, but ok, so they are at least trying?)

A few makeup companies have listings on Sephora, but you’ll be better off to purchase directly from those companies offering donation products, instead of going through the third party Sephora.  Try Estee Lauder, they always have a great Breast Cancer Awareness, as does Avon.
