At Minerelle, we never use bismuth oxychloride in any of our products—unlike many other mineral makeup brands. This ingredient, known to irritate sensitive skin, worsen rosacea, and clog pores, is one we avoid as part of our promise to you for clean, gentle, and skin-friendly beauty 💚
Here is why we avoid this harmful ingredient when creating the recipes for our natural skincare and mineral makeup:
Bismuth oxychloride is used in make-up to give a pearl-like finish and is a fine white powder that adheres to the skin. It is used by many mineral cosmetic brands but not by Minerelle.
Bismuth oxychloride can inflame sensitive skin, cause flare-ups with rosacea and worsen cystic acne due to it’s unique crystalline structure. What happens is that the crystals can ‘stab’ at the skin and get stuck in the pores, where the sharper ‘spokes’ can cause irritation.
If you’ve ever had a reaction to mineral make-up, it was probably the bismuth oxychloride that caused the problem.
Minerelle is completely free of bismuth oxychloride. So although bismuth oxychloride is a mineral, it is one of those ‘bad’ minerals that we AVOID
