Mineral Makeup

At Christopher Drummond Beauty, we say we are "Beyond Mineral Makeup".  Why?  Because some of the ingredients in traditional mineral makeup are drying and irritating to the skin.

Ingredients like Titanium Dioxize, Zinc Oxide and Bismuth Oxychloride are known to irritate sensitive skin.  This is why we took those three ingredients out of our core products: Veludo Velvet Foundation, Finale Finshing Powder and Saude Pele Radiance Booster do not contain these three ingredients.

We are one of the only powder foundations on the market that is free of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and bismuth oxychloride.

This means our powders will actually help to bind moisture to your skin, will not irritate, and will help to maintain the moisture balance of your skin. (That's a scinetific way to say it won't dry your skin out!)

Here is a list of some of the ingredients that helps to maintain a moisture balance in your skin:

• Essential Oils: Non-pore clogging oils that help clean the hair follicle. They also are anti-bacterial, and bring balance to the skin: they hydrate where needed, and decrease oil where it is not needed.
  
• Organic Corn Starch/Kaolin Clay: Helps to balance the skin by absorbing excess oil.
• Gotu Kola Extract: In the traditional therapy of Ayuerveda, this is considered a spiritual symbol and a medicinal herb. It has been used as an analgesic (for pain), and is an anti-inflammatory.
• Green Tea Extract: A potent anti-oxidant that has an anti-aging effect.
• Soy Isoflavones: Studies show that soy isoflavones are excellent at rebuilding collagen, while having an anti-aging effect on the skin. They also create great synergy with antioxidants, and actually help boost their potency.
• Açai: Long used in Brazil, this has been called the "super food of the Brazilian rainforest". Some say this berry is the most potent antioxidant on the planet and that it has more nutrients than any other food.

If you have tried traditional mineral makeup, give ours a try.  You will see that not all powders are created equally.
