What is mineral foundation?

Mineral foundation is foundation that

is made of minerals that help

your skin and brings out your natural beauty.

Mineral foundation can make your face look like

this.

What is mineral foundation made of?

Magnesium stearate

Bismuth oxychloride

Silica

Carmine

Boron nitrade

Talc

Mica

Ultramarines

Chromiums

Dimethicone

Zea mayes

Our question is...What minerals in

mineral foundation are actually good for your

skin?

You would think that mineral foundation would be 100% natural, but the ingredient Talc, is a non-natural ingredient.

Through our research, we learned that Silica is the only natural mineral and ingredient that help

your skin. It also keeps your face

healthy and clean from unwanted oils.

We took a survey for all the girls in our class asking if

they use mineral foundation and their results from using it.

Results...

And the best mineral foundation is...

Neutrogena!

Why Neutrogena?

It doesn't irritate skin.

And many others

Those were the ingredients that are only in Neutrogena

and not Maybelline and cover girl.

Overall, we learned that Silica, iron oxide, zinc stearate, soy bean flour, and silk powder are the ingredients

that help your skin and the answer to our question.
