Some Mineral Makeups Contain Chemicals

Beware of some product that claims a "mineral makeups"!!Do not be fooled and assume they’re safe for your body. Some of mineral makeup products contain a titanium dioxide which when inhaled can cause effects such as those experienced by asbestos exposure and even lung cancer. Titanium dioxide is safe when used in creams, preventing inhalation.

Another ingredients to carefully watch is propylene glycol and diproylene glycol, which are odorless and colorless. These two chemical are simple fragrance carriers and are safe and usually can be found in skin care products. Beside the,beware of chemical like dimethicone which is a silicone based polymer found in bodily care products. It is an anti foaming agent, skin protectant and conditioning agent. It is non-toxic, non flammable and inert or having little to no ability to react. For women who like cosmetic,silicone is another popular ingredient and is ubiquitous in the earth, making it safe for bodily use.
