Mineral cosmetics are forms of make-up that are composed of compressed minerals.[1] Most of these products are pure mineral, and do not contain any oil or wax additives.[2] Some kinds of minerals can have beneficial health results for the skin, combining health effects with cosmetic results.[1] The claim that applying minerals directly to the skin in the form of cosmetics has health benefits, however, has inspired some scientific controversy.[3] Historically some mineral additives have proven to be poisonous to the skin, such as lead.[4] and the mineral Bismuth that can cause a negative skin reaction. However the kinds of minerals used in modern products are not harmful to the skin.[1]
