A:Loose mineral makeup has caught on in popularity for very good reasons.It is the most natural makeup available on the market.One of the major differences is how your face feels when you apply liquid foundation versus loose mineral makeup.The components of liquid foundation consist of water, oils, waxes, petrochemicals, synthetic humectants, gums, and fillers (like talc) to mineral colorants.In addition, dyes and preservatives are added.‘Minerals by Mahya’ does not require preservatives and all of those other irritating ingredients that are completely unnecessary.The natural pigments blend easily on the skin and provide superior coverage due to the lack of cheap fillers.It is comprised of naturally occurring minerals that have been used for cosmetic purposes for thousands of years.These minerals have been mined for thousands of years from around the world, purified, and crushed into fine powders.Many of these minerals have a special luster that, when applied to the skin, give the face a lovely glow, allowing a healthy youthful appearance to blemished or aged skin.

Q:What is Bismuth Oxychloride? Do you use it?
A.NO!Many other big name mineral makeup brands use Bismuth Oxychloride in their products.Bismuth is the by-product of lead and copper refining, as well as other metals to a smaller degree. Bismuth occurs very rarely in nature. It is on the periodic table of elements under the symbol Bi at atomic number 83. It is very heavy and chemically resembles arsenic and antimony. It has a whitish/iridescent hue and has a very high shine property to it. Of all the heavy metals it is the only non-toxic. Bismuth is a carrier for fuel in nuclear reactors. Bismuth components are used in everything from detection work, to making acrylic fibers, to safety devices in fire detection and extinguishing items, soldering, magnets and medicine as well as cosmetics. Because it is a by-product of lead refining, bismuth oxychloride should be lead free when companies begin using it in their cosmetics.In addition, Bismuth can accentuate pores, making them look bigger as opposed to concealing them.It is also responsible for the shiny look that other big name mineral makeups can product.Finally, it causes irritation, itching, rash and/or breakouts in some women.For all of these reasons, you will never find bismuth oxychloride in any of the products from Mayha Cosmetics.
Q:Why don’t the popular makeup lines sell mineral cosmetics?
