Follow on Google News | Beyond Organic Mineral CosmeticsAfterglow recently released a suite of new mineral cosmetics. These new mineral cosmetics for the face, eyes and lips take mineral cosmetics to a new level by using organic and wildcrafted natural ingredients.
By: Mineral Cosmetics Mineral cosmetics manufactured by Afterglow have also another aspect to it. They not only use natural earthly ingredients, they also refrain from using natural ingredients that may have side effects and negative impact on the body. For example, bismuth oxychloride, a popular ingredient in other mineral cosmetics is a natural ingredient but because it has been documented in causing irritation and allergic reaction in women, Afterglow does not use this ingredient. Furthermore, bismuth oxychloride imparts an unnatural sheen on the skin's surface which is not acceptable. Afterglow is as concerned with the blend they manufacture as they are with its effects on the consumer. There is no use of parabens as well. Parabens are synthetic preservatives. Instead, Afterglow's mineral cosmetics use natural organic preservatives such as wildcrafted algae extracts and wildcrafted lichen. Both lichen and algae are natural preservatives that promote better skin health and texture. Wildcrafted ingredients are natural ingredients that cannot be classified as organic simply because they grow in the wild. These wildcrafted botanicals are found in the forests and oceans and harvested by Afterglow for use in their mineral cosmetics. Organic ingredients come from organic fruits, seeds and plants cultivated to exacting standards by the USDA. Afterglow's range of mineral cosmetics include organic grape seed extract, organic beeswax, organic lavender flower oil, organic jojoba seed extract, organic aloe vera, organic grape seed extract and organic apricot kernel, organic lavender flower oil, organic rose petal extract and organic rosemary extract. These are just some of the ingredients used in Afterglow's natural cosmetic line. Benefits arising from using natural and organic ingredients far exceed its benefit of just being organic. For example the use of organic jojoba seed extract, which is a hypoallergenic, controls sebum. Sebum is the oily substance secreted by our sebaceous glands. This extract also aids in cleaning the skin while conditioning it. Another example of benefits of these ingredients is the use of organic beeswax. Organic beeswax is an anti-inflammatory, germicidal agent that softens and elasticizes the skin. It is used as a natural thickening agent, emulsifier and humectant. Humectants are non-oily substances that attract and hold moisture. Afterglow's mineral cosmetics are researched and manufactured without any animal testing. This fact is conformed and certified by PETA and Leaping Bunny. PETA is an animal rights group that monitors the use of animals in inhumane ways. Leaping Bunny is a program run by the Coalition for Consumer Information on cosmetics. They issue cruelty free standards and assurances to the public after stringent audits on cosmetic manufacturer to ascertain that no animal is used in the process. All Afterglow products are produced in the United States. End
