Gluten free
Posted by admin on January 5, 2010
I bet when you hear the term “Gluten Free”, you don’t automatically think of your makeup, do you?
Well, if you’re gluten sensitive you may want to. Makeup can have gluten in it.
What is gluten sensitivity?
Read here for more information.
The symptoms are usually skin rashes, itchiness, headaches, bloating/cramping. Gluten is very hard to digest and can be found in wheat, rye, barley and oats.
Gluten can be found in your makeup and other beauty products in the Vitamin E, Olive Oil, Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, Oats and Triglycerides are all sources of gluten that most people wouldn’t think about when purchasing makeup and body products.
Vitamin E is used as an antioxidant and is usually derived from wheat germ. Products that contain oils in them are usually preserved with Vitamin E to prevent them from going rancid. They can also be hidden in such oils as Olive Oil, Palm Oil and Coconut Oil.
Oats are another common ingredient commonly used in beauty products, such as soap and facial products.
If you are gluten sensitive you need to be aware of these ingredients that most people may overlook in cosmetics or body products.
There’s no definitive information regarding cosmetics, body products being harmful to those who are gluten sensitive but think about this…your skin is the largest organ of your body. It usually absorbs what you put on it and thus goes into your body system. So, that would suggest that if you’re gluten sensitive you might have reactions (skin rash/itchiness) from products that contain gluten additives.
Mineral makeup that has no additives,oils and is in loose powder form is gluten free, such as the minerals offered at AffordableMineralMakeup.com

Featured on Vegetarian Beauty Products
Posted by admin on August 26, 2009
I just found out that Affordable Mineral Makeup was featured on Vegetarian Beauty Products
Vegetarian Beauty Products is an independent site dedicated to
assisting vegetarians and vegans in finding beauty products which are
both cruelty free, and free from any animal products, which would
require the taking of an animal’s life. Most of the products which we
feature and review on the site are in fact vegan, as well as vegetarian.
Vegetarian Beauty Products only reviews those products that are
demonstrated not only to be cruelty free and vegetarian, but also
which are created by companies which have demonstrated a sincere and
consistent concern for the environment, the animals, and the consumer.
Sizes & how long they’ll last
Posted by admin on April 1, 2009
These time frames will vary depending on the product (foundation is used the most so it’ll be used faster than multipurpose or liner) and how much a person applies and how often they wear it.
These are approximate calculations and may vary:
5g container (1g net weight) – approximately a month
10g container (3g net weight) – approximately 2-3 months
20g container (6g net weight) – approximately 4-5 months
30g container (9g net weight) – approximately 6-7 months

How to shop for mineral makeup
Posted by admin on January 28, 2009
Not all mineral makeup is the same.
Some companies use bismuth oxychloride in them, which can irritate some skin. Others have a long list of chemicals, fillers and other ingredients that aren’t needed nor good for your skin.
You’ve probably seen the mineral makeup infomercials late at night or the inserts in the newspaper. Perhaps you’ve seen mineral makeup at the mall, kiosks or in department stores. Now, mineral makeup is even available in regular stores like Target, CVS, etc. However, make sure to read the ingredients. Make sure there aren’t a lot of chemicals, parabens, fragrances and other harmful ingredients in them. The less ingredients, usually the better off you are.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a tween, teen, twenty or fifty year old or anything in between or beyond that. Mineral makeup has it’s benefits for your skin.
Mineral makeup can come in loose mineral form or pressed form. It glides on any skin type and is extremely versatile.
Because of the zinc oxide in mineral makeup, most mineral makeups offer an SPF which can protect your skin from the sun’s damaging rays. The iron oxide can help with acne and preventing break outs. Mineral makeup is excellent for girls and women of all age, as long as you shop and buy mineral makeup without fillers, chemicals, irritants.
Shop wisely and check labels, see if the company is recognized as being cruelty free, or signers of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics. You should also read reviews about the products and/or the company if possible. Do your research before purchasing, because all mineral makeup is not made the same.
