Free from parabens, binders and fillers, mineral makeup is hypoallergenic, making it a better choice for sensitive skin and those with acne concerns, rosacea, psoriasis and eczema. But mineral makeup works for all skin types, not just sensitive ones.

Our skin-improving foundation formulas are “non-comedogenic,” meaning they don’t clog pores or cause breakouts. Because if you’re trying to cover acne with foundation, the last thing you need is makeup that causes more breakouts. If you’re allergic to traditional makeup ingredients, our #1 recommendation would be ORIGINAL Loose Mineral Foundation, since it’s made with just 5 natural mineral ingredients—that’s it. It’s better for all skin types though, and promotes clearer, healthier-looking skin over time. 

A perk of using mineral foundations is that most have a natural sunscreen as a main ingredient: Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide or both. Suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin or rosacea, these natural sunscreen ingredients (which also have anti-inflammatory properties and a calming effect on the skin) make up two of the five total ingredients found in our bestselling ORIGINAL Loose Powder Foundation SPF 15. While chemical sunscreen can be harmful to coral reefs and other sea life, our mineral sunscreens are reef safe.
