General Endorsements of
Mineral Make-Up
Kathryn Frew, MD,
Dermatologist at Juva Skin and Laser Center and MediSpa in
New York City. "This is an extremely popular style of makeup – and
it's something that a lot of my patients use and love, and I use it
myself. It's also the product most patients ask about....Makeup
sensitivity is often the result of synthetic dyes, fragrances, and
preservatives, so any makeup that eliminates these is going to
eliminate some of the related problems."
Frew
also states that because titanium dioxide (and zinc oxide) have
anti-inflammatory properties, mineral make-ups containing these
ingredients can also have a calming effect on the skin, which is
particularly important for those suffering from inflammatory
problems such as rosacea and acne.

Francesca Fusco, MD,
Dermatologist, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at
Mt. Sinai Medical Center, New York, New York. "It's non-comedongenic,
so it won't clog pores, and it's not going to aggravate an acne
condition or cause a flare-up as easily as some traditional make-ups
can."

Dangers of Bismuth
Oxychloride
Kathryn Frew, MD,
Dermatologist "Bismuth oxychloride is considered a skin irritant
and can cause itching and rashes and in large amounts it can cause
cystic acne as well – it's one of the ingredients you should try to
avoid if you have acne or rosacea or sensitive skin."

Ada Cosmetics does
not use Bismuth Oxychloride! This known skin irritant is however
a basic ingredient in both Bare Minerals and Sheer Cover!
Dangers of
Smaller Particle Sizes
"Research shows that when
some molecules are dramatically reduced in size to the level of a
nanoparticle, they can have very different and very toxic properties
than that same molecule would have in its conventional size," says
Jane Houlihan, research director of consumer watchdog agency The
Environmental Working Group in Washington. "Minerals like zinc and
titanium are safe when applied to healthy skin but in a micronized
nanoparticle form, there remains a concern, particularly when
applied to damaged skin, or when inhaled," says Houlihan.
