Welcome back! If you would like to comment, please register and give us your thoughts about articles on Basic Mineral Makeup. Thanks for visiting again!
There are many great product lines featuring mineral makeup, but really, there are very few that are truly pure minerals and nothing else…like Affordable Mineral Makeup. Our company has been around for almost five years providing pure minerals makeup that contain only minerals and nothing that you don’t need…no harmful or toxic ingredients. We are not a giant corporation with huge expenses and jets and fleets of trucks…we provide our high quality pure mineral makeup direct to you at really great prices…no advertising hype or multinational brand campaigns…just great, pure minerals at really affordable prices.
Over the years we have done several promotions with even greater savings on our already affordable mineral makeup. Recently, we started a promotional email that goes out to our customers to let them know about special offers and occasionally exclusive email-only offers…you can subscribe to the email here.
The bottom line answer about saving money? Imagine using a product you like for years…maybe you purchase it twice a month…and you already save by buying it from us instead of the giant conglomerates…that’s money you saved to get the same quality mineral makeup!
Do you want to look healthy and naturally beautiful while saving money or spend too much for virtually the same products by the big corporations? Makeup your mind to be gorgeous! Why not…and SAVE!

In our ongoing efforts to promote awareness of potentially harmful ingredients in cosmetics and mineral makeup without Bismuth Oxychloride or other unhealthy chemicals, we invite you to watch the ‘Story of Cosmetics’ video by visiting the Affordable Mineral Makeup website. This video will enlighten anyone who uses shampoo, soap, lotions, oil…typically any personal care product used by men, women…and children. You’ll be surprised how many are in an unregulated category of products in which the FDA has no oversight for the potentially harmful ingredients found in many personal care products.
There are actually over 5,000 ingredients that are allowed for use in personal care products. Many of these ingredients that are allowed are known to be hazardous to our health and many others remain untested with unknown risks. Although the EU (European Union) has banned approximately 400 chemicals suspected of causing cancer, most of these chemicals are permitted in products sold in Canada and the United States.
Here is a partial list of known questionable ingredients found in personal care products…please visit often for future articles and more information about safer personal care products.
- Diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), and monoethanolamine (MEA)
- Dioxins,DMDM hydantoin, diazolidinyl urea and imidazolidinyl urea
- FD&C colors, Phenylenediamine, Lanolin, Lead, Nonylphenols, Parabens, Polyethylene glycol (PEG)
As a special encouragement to use safer products (shameless plug is next) don’t miss the special fall promotion right on the front page of the site when you go to watch the Story of Cosmetics video.
