Makeup FAQ
What makes mineral makeup so special?
Natural ingredients such as Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide help absorb oil, provide opacity, reflect light and act as natural sunscreens. Mineral makeup also feels weightless on your skin. And although you'll get enough coverage to even out your skin tone and hide imperfections, the makeup is still sheer enough to let your skin radiate through. In fact the minerals themselves give skin a luminous glow and are known to have healing properties.
Will mineral cosmetics clog my pores?
They're naturally non-comedogenic and allow the skin to breathe easier, so they won't plug pores. Also unlike conventional makeup, which can become a breeding ground for bacteria and microbes, there's less chance of skin breaking out. Mineral makeup helps absorb oil, so it's a good choice for oily or acne-prone skin types.
There are so many brands of mineral makeup available, how do I know mine is truly pure?
If you're shopping on Saffron Rouge, be assured that each and every makeup product is 100% natural. If browsing elsewhere, read the ingredients. Truly pure mineral makeup contains no BHA, BHT, D & C Colorans, Eugenol, Formaldehyde, P-Phenylenediamine, Phthlates and Triethanolamine.
If I have extremely sensitive skin, can I wear mineral makeup?
Usually yes. Known to be amazingly gentle, people with rosacea, dryness and other skin sensitivity issues usually have no problems wearing mineral cosmetics. In fact they can help calm skin with anti-inflammatory minerals like Titanium Dioxide. Most mineral makeup also contains natural sunscreens, so they help protect against daily exposure to UVA and UVB light without any harsh chemicals.
