Mineral Makeup Going Beyond Green

June 16, 2010 - PRLog -- More and more of today's women prefer mineral  makeup.  This trend is caused by the positive effects mineral makeup has on the skin and the increase in customers' awareness of using non-mineral, traditional products.

Afterglow's line of mineral makeup attracts the most interest as their contents go beyond green.  They use organic materials and natural ingredients.  Mineral cosmetics differ from other types of cosmetics as mineral cosmetics are made from natural ingredients and are finely ground minerals found occurring naturally in the earth.


Mineral makeup do not contain synthetic chemicals, dyes or preservatives. Mineral makeup is also a natural cosmetic solution in that its colors are more vivid, its application methods are simple and not only does it not harm the body through the skin, it instead heals and rejuvenates. Take for example Afterglow's ingredients of organic pomegranate seed and tamarind extracts.


The organic pomegranate seed is a natural antioxidant.  Antioxidants are beneficial in combating free radicals  and the damage it causes to the skin and body.  The antioxidants found in organic pomegranate also provide regenerative effects to counter already damaged skin.


Another ingredient, organic aloe vera, provides a natural anti microbial and anti-inflammatory effect to heal damaged skin.  The added benefit of this mineral makeup is the healing properties of its organic ingredients not just its lack of synthetic chemicals and pesticides.


Afterglow's mineral makeup offers another benefit aside from its natural ingredients. Their makeup does not contain fragrances, preservatives or dyes, and they also eliminate binders and irritants from their pure list of ingredients.  


Mineral makeup from Afterglow offers consumers and added advantage of going beyond USDA certified organic ingredients.  Afterglow's use of ingredients harvested from the wild is a testament to their stringent standards of providing only naturally grown ingredients, whether in the wild or under strict USDA organic guidelines.  Either way the benefit to the consumer apparent. The products are trustable, and are without the synthetic chemicals and irritants that cause damage to the skin and long term health effects to the body from accumulation.


Wildcrafted ingredients in Afterglow's mineral make up include algae extracts that are used as natural preservatives.  In addition to that they act as moisturizers for dry skin. Countering the drying effects of other cosmetics, the use of Afterglow's mineral cosmetics with wildcrafted algae returns suppleness and firmness to the skin.


Another wildcrafted ingredient used in Afterglow's mineral make up is lichen. This is also a natural preservative used also as an antibacterial agent and combats fungi and yeast. Lichen is nontoxic and does not irritate the skin like synthetic preservatives such as methylparaben, isoparaben, butylparaben and propylparaben.


Afterglow's mineral makeup stands for pure and naturally occurring combination of materials and ingredients.  Afterglow's commitment to producing mineral make up in its purest form is evidenced by their willingness to list each and every ingredient on their packaging. Many other mineral make up manufacturers still load their products with synthetic preservatives and dyes.


Afterglow remains committed to making natural, organic and pure mineral make up available to all women.
